1 tbsp margarine
4 large scallions, sliced
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 lb orange roughy fillets
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1 black pepper
4 slices cheese, cut into 1/2 strips
2 tbsp unseasoned bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Grease a shallow 2-quart baking dish with
margarine. Evenly scatter the scallions and mushrooms over the bottom
of the dish. Place fillets on top in a single layer. (Overlap or tuck
under, the thin ends of the fillets).
Mix wine and lemon juice together and pour over the fish. Sprinkle
with marjoram and black pepper.
Evenly distribute the cheese strips over the fillets. Crumple a
large piece of waxed paper and wet it. Shake off excess water and and
place the paper loosley over the fish. Bake for about 7 minutes.
Remove fish from the oven, take off the waxed paper. Sprinkle fish
with bread crumbs. Bake another 7-9 minutes or until fish is just
done. Remove the fish from the oven and heat the broiler and broil
just long enough to brown the top of the fillets, about 1 minute.
Substitiue: Cod, haddock, catfish, ocean perch or rockfish.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient chefs used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a torrent in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
