1 clove garlic
1 thick slice white onion
1 roma (plum) tomato
1 tomatillo
3 poblano chiles
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp fresh cilantro -- roughly
1 chopped
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cumin -- toasted and ground
Directions
Green chiles -- poblanos, Anaheims, and New Mexico long greens --
always make me think of Santa Fe. There, they make salsa with the
local chiles and bottle it for sale around the world. This fresh
version has more complex seasonings than the Santa Fe product, and is
one of the truly great salsas for dipping and slathering all over
everything.
Pan roast garlic until brown and soft, then peel. Pan roast onion
until brown and soft, then roughly chop. Pan roast tomato until
blistered, deeply browned, and soft. Pan roast tomatillo until
blistered, browned, and soft. Pan roast poblano chiles until dark
brown, then remove seed cores.
Place the garlic, onion, tomato, tomatillo, and chiles in a food
processor and pulse briefly until finely chopped. Add the water,
cilantro, salt and cumin and process again until blended. Keeps,
tightly covered, about 3 days in the refrigerator.
Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which recount 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`. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
