3 roma (plum) tomatoes
3 habanero chiles
1/4 cup water
1/8 tsp kosher salt
Directions
Salsas in the Yucatan are usually quite simple, while recados tend to
make the dishes they season complex. Perhaps that is why simplicity
is seen as a virtue when it comes to salsas. But I think there is
another reason: the habanero chile, reputedly the hottest pepper in
the world. In addition to the heat, habaneros have a citrusy aroma
and flavor that are best savored on their own. This salsa is the
classical accompaniment to meats and seafood cooked in achiote. Try
it on Grilled Squid Yucatan Style. There are variations with onion,
orange juice, and mint, but this simple version is my favorite.
Pan roast tomatoes until blistered, deeply browned, and soft. Pan
roast chiles until dark brown, then remove seed cores.
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend smooth. Use within
several hours.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, there are a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich people of the period. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted a torrent in recipe publications, most of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
