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
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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 blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many different herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
