Ingredients
12 chicken breasts, boned
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/8 cup honey
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp mint, dried
1 package g. washington's golden bouillon mix
Directions
Bone chicken breasts if needed, keeping meat as nearly intact as
possible. (It's much easier to rip the meat off the bones than any
knifework I've tried to date.) Pull off shreds and gobbets. Put
peanut butter, honey, cumin and mint in a bowl and mix well.
Microwaving for 30 seconds or so thins it and makes it much easier to
mix. Spread about 2 tsp of the peanut butter mix in a thin layer over
each piece of breast meat. Place 1/12 of the shreds and gobbets on
the breast and roll them up into a packet. Tie the packet shut with
butcher's twine or fasten with a toothpick. Arrange the twelve
packets in layers in the crock pot, being careful not to let any fall
open. Stir water in to the bowl with any remaining peanut butter and
mix well. Add the packet of bouillon and pour over the chicken
packets. Add water as needed to cover packets to a depth of at least
one inch. Turn crock pot on high for 5 or 6 hours. Remove packets
from pot and let drain on a platter. All the chicken fat will have
migrated to the top of the liquid, which I suspect would probably
make a wonderful flavoring for soups and other dishes.

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to a torrent in cookery books, most of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
