Asparagus With Toasted Pine Nuts & Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe


Ingredients

1 lb asparagus, fresh spears
3 tbsp pine nuts
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp basil, dried whole
1/2 tsp oregano, dried whole
1 pepper, freshly ground


Directions

Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from stalks with
knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Place spears in a steaming
rack over boiling water; cover and steam 4-5 minutes or until spears
are crisp-tender. Transfer to a serving platter. Sautee pine nuts in
a small skillet over medium heat 2-3 minutes, until browned. Set
aside. Combine olive oil and remaining ingredients in a medium
saucepan; stir with a wire whisk to blend. Cook over medium heat 2-3
minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly. Pour over
asparagus. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Let stand to room temperature
before serving.

The History of Recipes

Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and spices prompted an explosion in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in academic collections.

The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site.
