While the mutton, beef, hare, or turkey, is roasting, put a plate under it, with a little good broth, the red wine, onion, a little grated cheese, the anchovy, washed and minced, and a bit of butter; let the meat drop into it. When it is taken up, put the sauce into a pan that has been rubbed with onion; give it a boil up; strain it through a sieve, and serve it up under your roast, or in a boat.
