Cut carrots, celery and bell peppers into strips about 1-1/2 inches
long then julienne. Julliene the cheese or grate with long strokes.
Brown and crisp the meat: Slice the beef into very thin 2-inch
strips. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over
medium-high heat, and brown the beef in batches. Brown the ground
pork. When all the meat is well browned, drain off fat and put the
meat back into the pan. Continue to brown for another few minutes
until the meat is beginning to get crisp. Sprinkle with salt, add the
chili powder, and allow it to cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside until needed.
Brown some vegetables: In a large cast iron pot or casserole, heat
the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Saute the onions over medium heat
until they begin to wilt, about 5 minutes.Add the carrots, celery,
and red pepper and saute 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another
minute.
Combine: Lower the heat. Scrape the meat into the pot with the onion
mixture. Heat the (meat's) skillet again over medium high heat and
pour in the wine. Scrape up the browned bits and reduce wine for a
minute or so. Pour into the casserole with the meat and vegetables.
Add the tomatoes, water, molasses, sage, and cumin to the pot. Simmer,
covered, for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the black beans,
drained if using canned, and season with salt if needed. Cook another
15 minutes.
Serve: Put a dollop of Cilantro Pesto on each serving, and service the
garnishes on the side.

The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed far back into the far past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs made use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an outbreak in books on cooking, many of which are now in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
