Ingredients
1/2 lb mushrooms
1/2 lb spinach
4 tbsp corn oil
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp oregano
4 chicken breasts
3 tbsp dry white wine
1 fresh parsley, chopped
1 lemon wedges
Directions
1. Rinse, pat-dry and chop mushrooms; set aside.
2. Wash spinach; place in saucepan and cook, covered, only with the
water clinging to the leaves, until barely wilted. Drain spinach
well, squeezing out excess water. Chop and set aside.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet until hot; add onion and
mushrooms and saute until tender. Add garlic, oregano, spinach, and
pepper to taste. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Set aside.
4. Meanwhile, flatten each chicken breast by placing between 2 layers
of waxed paper or plastic wrap; pound with rolling pin or heavy plate
edge until about 1/4-inch thick.
5. Spoon 1/4th of mushroom mixture onto center of each chicken
breast; roll lengthwise and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place
breasts in a 9-inch shallow baking pan.
6. Combine wine with remaining oil and spoon over chicken. Bake,
uncovered, in preheated 400-degree oven until chicken is tender,
about 15 to 20 minutes. Baste often.
7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found way back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
