Cookery Dishes Lamb Meat Montgomery Mouton Prepared
EDITORS COMMENTS
Noisettes of Lamb, or Lamb Chops a la Montgomery, as they were known in the early 20th century, were a popular and elegant dish served in the finest French and European households. This exquisite photograph, taken circa 1914, showcases the preparation of this delectable dish. The lamb chops, or noisettes, are carefully arranged on a pristine white tablecloth, each one tenderly cradled in the hands of the chef. The Montgomery in the title refers to the sauce that accompanies the dish, which was made with a rich and flavorful blend of butter, shallots, and white wine. The history of Noisettes of Lamb can be traced back to the 18th century, where it was first mentioned in French cookbooks. However, it wasn't until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that the dish gained widespread popularity. The dish's name, Noisettes, comes from the French word for hazelnuts, due to the small, round shape of the lamb chops. The preparation of Noisettes of Lamb was a labor of love, requiring the utmost care and attention to detail. The lamb chops were first trimmed of excess fat and seasoned with salt and pepper. They were then seared in a hot pan until nicely browned on both sides, before being set aside to rest. The Montgomery sauce was made in a separate pan, with shallots gently sautéed in butter until softened, followed by the addition of white wine and a splash of vinegar. The sauce was then thickened with a knob of butter, creating a rich and velvety texture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of haute cuisine in the early 20th century. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of Noisettes of Lamb, a dish that continues to delight and inspire cooks and food lovers alike.
