Ingredients
1 1/2 lb loin of pork
4 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cup dry red wine
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup coriander leaves, coarse
1 chopped
Directions
1. Cut the pork into 1-in. cubes and place them in a mixing bowl. Add
1 tsp of the coriander seed, the peppercorns and sugar and stir well
to blend. Cover the bowl and let marinate for a least 20 min. If you
can leave the meat for longer, you will need to pat it dry with a
paper towel befor cooking. 2. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large
enough to hold the pork cubes in one layer. When the oil is quite
hot, aromatic and almost smoking, add the meat. Cook, turning often
to brown evenly, about 2-3 min. 3. Add the wine to the skillet and
bring to a boil, stirring. After 1-2 min.,reduce the heat to low and
cook gently, turning the meat occasionally, until the meat is tender
and the wine reduced to about 4 tbsp. This should take about 20 min.
4. Add the butter and the remaining coriander seeds. Increase the
heat to medium high and stir well to mix the melted butter with the
wine for a few sec. Add the coriander leaves, toss to coat the meat
and serve.

The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals cooked for the wealthy. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
