6 egg yolks
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper, black
1 tsp oil, vegetable
1/4 cup chives, chopped
Directions
Using a grinder or food processor fitted with a metal blade,
process beef until finely minced. Process a second time. Do not
puree. In a medium bowl, combine beef, egg yolks, onion powder, salt,
pepper and oil. Cover with foil; refrigerate at least 1 hour. Garnish
with chives. Serve as a side dish or a spread with crackers, bread or
toast.
Be sure beef is very lean as fat is not appetizing in tartare.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the cooks of his times used many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
