6 to 12 fresh jalapenos, stems remove, d
12 tomatillos, husks removed
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
2/3 cup water
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 (about 1 cup)
Directions
Combine all the ingredients except cilantro in a pot and bring to a
boil. Cover, lover the heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until
the tomatillos are soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Transfer the cooled ingredients and the liquid to a blender. Add the
cilantro, and puree until smooth and uniformly green. Refrigerate.
Makes about two cups. Serve cold or at room temperature. It's
wonderful served with grilled meats....a pork chop, for example. It's
also very nice mixed with some yogurt to toss with hot pasta for a
low-fat quick dinner. And stir some into some soup; it will perk up
almost anything without being overwhelming.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Moving on, there were two recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the upper classes of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe publications, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
