1 1/2 cup dried pinto beans
10 cup water
1 tsp salt
3 cup dried indian hominy

Directions
Soak the beans overnight in water to cover. In the morning rinse the
beans with cold water and place in a large pot with fresh water to
cover. Stir in the salt, cover and simmer slowly 2 to 2 1/2 hours,
until the beans are tender. Add water when necessary and stir
occasionally to prevent the beans from burning. Add hominy and
simmer, covered, 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The hominy and beans
should be very soft and moist, but not too watery. While the beans
and hominy are cooking, roast, peel, seed and dice the chiles.
Sprinkle on top of the cooked beans for garnish.

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
