Ingredients
2 to 10 cloves garlic, peeled
1 and coarsely chopped
1 red jalapeno pepper, stemmed
1 seeded and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup red-wine or sherry vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 lb jumbo prawns
Directions
1. Prepare the garlic. Traditionally this is a garlicky sauce, but
the amount of garlic used would be according to personal taste. 2.
Combine the garlic and jalapeno in a food processor and mince finely.
Add the oregano and parsley and pulse to a fine chop. Add the
vinegar, olive oil and salt, processing until smooth and emulsified.
(The sauce can be used immediately; or pour into a jar, cover and
refrigerate until ready to use.) 3. Remove about 1/3 cup of the sauce
to use as a baste for the prawns. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill.
Place prawns on a well-oiled grill, 4 to 6 inches from the source of
heat. Baste and cook about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until prawns
are pink and cooked through. 4. Serve with the remaining sauce on the
side. Note: The sauce can also be used with beef, chicken or pork.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few ancient 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
