Ingredients
2 lb loin chops, about 4
2 tbsp butter
3/4 cup onion, chopped fine
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tbsp curry powder, more or less
1 to taste
1 tbsp flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 large ripe mango
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
1. Heat the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chops
comfortably in one layer. Add the chops and cook over high heat about
2-3 min. or until well browned. Turn the chops and cook the other
side about 2-3 min. Remove the chops and set aside. 2. Add the onion
and garlic to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring,
until wilted. Add the curry powder and flour and stir to blend. Cook,
stirring, about 2 min., then gradually stir in the broth. 3. Return
the chops to the skillet. Cover and cook gently about 25 min. 4.
Meanwhile, cut the mango in half along one side of its flat seed. Cut
out the seed as neatly as possible. Peel the mango halves and slice
thinly lenghtwise. 5. Add the mango slices to the skillet and cook
3-4 min. longer or until the mango is heated through. 6. Transfer the
chops and the mango slices to a warmed serving platter and keep hot.
7. Increase the heat under the skillet and cook down the liquid until
reduced by about half. Add the cream and cinnamon and stir to blend.
Bring back to a boil. 8. Pour the sauce over the chops.

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes caused a surge in manuscripts on cookery, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
