1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 tbsp minced seeded jalapeno chili
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 dash nutmeg
1 dash garlic powder
Directions
Trim halved turkey breast slices of all fat and skin. Butterfly meat
by using a sharp knife, starting in center of one long side and
cutting in half to within 1/2" of second long side; open meat like a
book (using partially frozen turkey makes this process easier). Set
meat flat on a platter.
Mix together yogurt, chili, cumin, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic powder
in a small bowl. Rub mixture over turkey, cover, and chill overnight
(or at least 2 hours).
Prepare barbecue. Grill meat 4 inches from heat source until cooked
through, about 4-6 minutes per side. Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut
diagonally into slices. Serve with a rice salad. Makes about 6
servings.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in cookery books, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
