Carmelized Pork Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb fresh pork leg (ham)
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp salt
2 each green onions
1 dash pepper
1 tbsp fish sauce


Directions

Cut the fresh ham into several chunks about 1 1/2 to 2 inches square.
Chop the green onion fine. Heat the oil in 2 quart pot, then add the
onion and the remaining ingredients, including the pork. Saute,
stirring, on medium heat until the meat is brown (about 5 minutes or
more). Add 4 cups water and simmer, uncovered, on medium heat for one
hour. Add the fish sauce and continue to simmer on medium heat 1 more
hour. Most of the water will be absorbed by the meat and the
remainder will be slightly thick--or carmelized. Be careful not to
burn it. Serve hot as a main dish, with lots of rice. This has a
very long life--it may be frozen, refrigerated, reheated, and served
as an appetizer, etc. Note: This takes a long time to cook, but is
very easy to do. In Hue, central Vietnam, pork belly is used in this
recipe. Bellyis very fat and is considered good in a cooler climate.
Don't discard the fat portions before tasting--it is surprisingly
good and surprisingly digestible. Recipe from: Vietnamese Cookery, by
Jill Nhu Huong Miller.

The History of Recipes

It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley.

For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day.

The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site.
