2 large whole chicken breasts(2 lbs)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 peanut sauce:
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground coriander
3 drops red pepper sauce
1 dash brown sugar to taste
Directions
Preparation : Cut chicken into 3/4 inch pieces. Mix with remaining
ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, stirring
occasionally. This can be broiled at 550 degrees on skewers for 5
minutes each side. I baked chicken pieces in a glass baking dish at
400 degrees for 20 minutes with all the sauce plus 1/2 cup water. I
thicken the juice with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and same amount of
water. Cook and stir onion in oil in 1 1/2 quart saucepan until
tender. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients; heat over
low heat just until blended (sauce will separate if over cooked).
Serve on the side as a dip.
Servings: 2 servings

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation 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 `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
