MARINADE
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup bourbon
3 tbsp honey
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger root - peeled and grat, ed
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
2 tbsp fresh sage - coarsely chopped
2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
MAIN DISH
3 pork tenderloins
GRILLING MATERIALS
1 charcoal briquettes
6 wood chips (up to 8) - preferably f, ruitwood
Directions
Combine all marinade ingredients; blend well. The marinade for this
dish can be prepared a day in advance; marinating should go on for 24
hours.
Lay the pork tenderloins in a ceramic or glass dish and pour marinade
over them. Turn the tenderloins several times during the 24 hours
that they are marinating in the refrigerator. When ready to cook,
pat the pork dry.
Preheat charcoal in an outdoor grill and soak the wood chips in water
for 30 minutes. Add the chips to the hot coals. Roast the pork
evenly for about 40 minutes, until its internal temperature is 165 F.
If pork is to be eaten hot, allow it to sit on the edge of the grill
for 10 minutes or so after it is cooked so that the juices can be
drawn back into the meat.
Good served either hot or cold, accompanied by a green tomato chutney.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks made use of many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
