Bacalao Espanol (Spanish Cod) Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb salted codfish
2 1/2 tbsp parsley,
1 large onion, minced well chopped
8 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dry sherry
2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
4 tsp green olives, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 small (4-ounce) can pimientos, shredded
1/4 tsp oregano


Directions

This came from one of the other cookbooks I picked up last weekend.
Nice segue, eh?

Inherited from Spain, this codfish dish is a favorite of the
Mexicans. Soak codfish for 8 hours in enough cold water to cover it.
Drain and shred the fish. Saute the onion in the oil until it is
softened. Add codfish and saute a few more minutes. Add the
remaining ingredients. Simmer slowly until codfish is tender, about
1/2 hour or more.

Makes 4 servings.

The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful.

As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the early Romans used many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, fennel and dill.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an eruption in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in private collections.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site.
