1/4 cup caribbian hot sauce -- or
10 habaneros
1 pureed in 1/4 cup cheap --
1 yellow mustard
2 tbsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp dried basil
3 scallions
1 tsp salt
1 juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp parsley
2 tbsp dried thyme
2 tbsp mustard seed
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp orange juice
6 chicken thighes -- w/legs
1 attached
1 chopped
Directions
Combine all ingredients except chicken in food processor or blender,
and blend into a paste, making sure that the ingredients are all fully
integrated. The paste should be the consistency of a thick tomato
sauce. If its too thick, thin it with a little more white vinegar.
Cover the paste and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2
hours, but not more that 2 weeks, for the flavors to blend together.
Overnight is ideal.
Rub the chicken with the paste and place over a very low heat. Or if
you have a covered cooker, put the coals to one side, the chicken to
the other and cover.
Cook about 1 hr without cover or 1/2 hr if covered. The key here is
to use a very low heat. Be patient. Hard to overcook, the only way
to screw it up is if you burn the paste by having the heat to high.
The longer the chicken stays on the grill, the more superior the
smoky flavor. Recipe By : Cecil AT From: Western Mexican Cookbook

The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans made use of many herbs, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in books on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
