Alheiras De Mirandela Recipe

Ingredients

3 lb lean beef*
1 1/2 lb calf meat
1/2 lb chicken
1/2 lb turkey
1/2 lb rabbit
1 1/2 lb day old wheat bread
1/4 lb ham (optional)
4 garlic cloves
4 tsp olive oil
2 oz pork drippings**
1 paprika, salt and piripiri to taste
10 feet tripe casing


Directions

* Or lean pork, or a mixture of both, for cost reasons. **
Probably a modern addition, or replacement for suet. You may change
the proportions of chicken/turkey/rabbit - it may be all chicken,
etc., provided the total amount remains the same. You can use
partridge, quail, duck, and so on... Boil the meats together long
enough to make the bones separate from the meat by themselves.
Reserve the resulting broth and set meats aside. In a large bowl
place the thinly sliced bread and add the reserved broth. Cover with
a towel and, as soon as the bread is soft enough, mash it with an
wooden spoon. Add the mashed garlic and ground piripiri, paprika and
a little salt. Add the meats cut in very little pieces. Mix
thoroughly. When everything is completely mixed add the olive oil and
the pork drippings, hot. Fill the casing using a suitable funnel. Tie
each 'alheira' so that it's about 8" long, with the filling
concentrated in the middle section, leaving the ends almost empty.
Smoke for 2 or 3 hours a day, for a week. Tie both ends together
before selling or using - the 'alheira' should be U shaped. A typical
way of serving 'alheiras' is frying them in hot oil, and presenting
them with fried eggs and potato chips. Some add broccoli as a side
dish.

The History of Recipes

Historians have proved the existence of recipes back into distant history, at least as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and dill.

Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site.
