Scotch Collops

Ingredients

1/2 pound minced raw meat
2 ounces bread-crumbs
1/2 lemon rind
1/2 onion (chopped)
1/2 pint stock
1 ounce flour
1 dried egg
Grated nutmeg
1 ounce fat
2 ounces bacon (chopped)
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne
A little ketchup

Instructions

Mix the minced meat, bacon, onion, seasoning and nutmeg together. Moisten the mixture with the egg and roll it into balls. Coat these with egg and crumb and fry them in hot fat; then drain them well. Make a brown gravy with the fat, flour and stock. Boil this up and add the lemon rind, ketchup and seasonings. Put the balls in the gravy. Stew them for from half an hour to three-quarters. Then dish the balls up and pour gravy over them, also adding a little lemon juice, if desired.
