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
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a surge in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
