2 cup brown rice, cooked
1 cup green onions, chopped

Directions
cups mashed cooked and drained beans instead. The sauce can also be
used in other Mexican recipes.
To make the enchilada sauce combine all ingredients in a saucepan and
cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens,
about 7 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 cup of the
enchilada sauce in the bottom of a covered casserole dish. Take one
tortilla at a time and spread some beans, rice, and scallons down the
center. Roll up and place seam-side-down in the casserole dish.
Repeat until all ingredients are used. Pour the remaining enchilada
sauce over the rolled-up tortillas, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
