Ingredients
59 1/2 oz lamb fillet
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic
Directions
Cut the meat into 1-inch slices, and put them in an unpunctured
plastic bag. Prepare the marinade by heating for 20 seconds on High
(100% power) in a microwave, or combining over heat on the stove the
lemon juice, honey, oil and garlic, until the honey has melted. Stir
well and cool to room temperature, then pour over the bagged meat and
leave to stand while you make the salsa. Thread the marinated lamb
onto the soaked skewers. Cook on a preheated barbecue or under a
preheated grill, close to the heat, for a short time. The kebabs are
ready when the outside is brown and the inside pink but not red.
Serve two kebabs with an avocade half or with a sliced avocado and
salsa, and slices of your favourite bread.
Servings: 2 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly 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 this recipe site. |
