1 beef brisket (4 to 5 lb), trimmed of fat
1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
10 cloves garlic, whole
10 oz jar apple jelly
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tbsp dijon mustard
2 large green onions, chopped about 1/4 cup
1/2 tsp ; salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp curry powder
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions
Place brisket, the yellow onion, chopped garlic and garlic cloves in a
large Dutch oven. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce
heat, cover and simmer 2 1/2 hours or until the brisket is tender.
Drain brisket. (If you wish, you could keep the brisket covered with
the cooking liquid and refrigerate it overnight. This will help
prepare for the next day.) In a small saucepan, mix together the
apple jelly, wine, mustard, green onions, salt, pepper, and curry
powder. Heat until the jelly melts.
Place brisket in a shallow roasting pan and brush some of the jelly
mixture over the top. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 45 minutes, basting
3 or 4 times with the remaining jelly mixture. Remove the meat to a
platter to keep warm. Place the pan over 2 burners and add apple
juice, stirring to scrape up browned bits on bottom of pan. Bring to
a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring, until slightly
thickened and reduced by about half. Pour into a gravy boat. Slice
meat and garnish with the parsley. Serve with gravy. Makes 8 servings

The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like bay, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices created an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
