Potatoes Annette With Oeufs Sur Le Plat Recipe


Ingredients

350 g potatoes, peeled
25 g butter
1 eggs (1 or 2 per person)
1 salt and pepper


Directions

A crispy cake of julienne potatoes cooked in butter makes a delicious
base for lightly cooked eggs. A perfect supper dish which costs next
to nothing, a memorable meal served with a soft lettuce salad and
some fresh bread.

Cut the potatoes into strips ('julienne'). Wash them in cold water
and dry thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a
heavy frying pan and saute the potatoes until they are well coated,
then press them down into a cake with the back of a fork. Brown on
one side only over a very low heat, covered with a lid, for 30
minutes. When well browned, loosen around the edges and carefully
invert on to a platter, and keep warm.

Put a little more butter into the pan and heat gently. Break one or
two eggs per person into the pan and cook through gently until they
set lightly, without browning the whites (oeufs sur le plat are a far
cry from a fried egg!). Serve on wedges of the potato cake.

The History of Recipes

Historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful.

As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and dill.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in books on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this.
