2 1/4 parts vinegar
2 parts salt
Directions
Filet out the he middle portion from back to front. Marinate for one
day in a mixture of salt and 5% vinegar until the surface of the fish
is "cooked" (like seviche). Freeze overnight and then slice thin and
serve. I didn't get the proportions of salt and vinegar but I am
assuming that it is very similar to what I use for pickling fish.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in 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 making those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and dill. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an explosion in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
