2 tbsp tamari or dark soy sauce
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 tsp lime juice
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dried red-pepper flakes
1/8 tsp salt
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken
1 breasts, cut in 1/4 cubes
1 mango, peeled and chopped
1 cl garlic, minced
1/2 tsp minced jalapeno pepper
3 tbsp rice-wine vinegar or cider
1 vinegar
Directions
1. In a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the ysmsri,
Worcestershire sauce, molasses, oil, lime juice, ginger, 1 teaspoon
of the sugar, the red-pepper flakes and salt. Add the chicken and
toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least an
hour.
2. In a shallow dish, soak 24 six-inch wooden skewers in water for at
least 30 minutes.
3. Make the dipping sauce. In a medium stainless-steel sauce pan,
combine the mango, garlic, jalapeno, the remaining 3 teaspoons of
sugar and the vinegar and bring to a simmer over moderately low heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mango is soft, about 15
minutes. Transfer to a food processor or blender and pulse or blend
briefly to a coarse puree. Let cool.
4. Heat the broiler. Drain the chicken and thread 2 pieces onto each
skewer Put the skewers on a baking sheet and broil, turning once,
until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes in all. Serve with
the dipping sauce.
(Note: There is a trick to removing the flesh from a mango. Stand the
unpeeled mango on end and, using a sharp knife, slice down through
the skin and flesh, as close as possible to the pit, to remove the
flesh in one piece. Repeat on the other side. With the two pieces
skin-side down, score the flesh into cubes, taking care not to cut
through the skin. Turn the skin "inside out" and slice off the cubes
of fruit.)

The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
