drippings. add crumbled bacon , onion mixture and salt to beans.
bring to boil; reduce heat. cover and simmer until tender,
approximately 1 hour. drain beans reserving liquid. combine remaining
ingredients with 1/2 cup bean liquid. add to beans mixing well. cover
and simmer additional 30 minutes.
Yield: 6 servings.
To make beans darker, add 1-2 tsp browning sauce. Browning sauce may
be used to darken any bean casserole...add a little at a time until
desired colour is obtained.
POINTER: At high altitudes, beans take longer to rehydrate and cook.
cooking times will increase substantially at 3,500 feet or more,
above sea level. Difficulty in cooking beans to desired tenderness
within specified cooking times is usually caused by hard water. some
cooks add a small amount of baking soda to counteract the problem,
hovever, this is not recommented as it will destroy the thiamin and
reduce the nutritional value. One solution to the problem is to use
purified bottled drinking water for soaking and cooking.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
