Original RecipeBetas (from Apicius' De Re Coquinaria)Concides porrum, coriandrum, cuminum . . . uvam passam, farinam, et omnia in medullam mittes. ligabis et ita inferes ex liquamine, oleo et aceto. TranslationTo make a dish of beets that within apply to your taste, slice the beets with leeks and crush coriander and cumin; add raisin wine, boil all down to perfection: bind it, serve the beets separate from the broth, with oil and vinegar. Ingredients:5 medium-sized beetroots3 thinly-sliced leeks a large pinch each of crushed black peppercorns and cumin seeds sweet raisin wine Method:Cook the beetroot by boiling in water. Drain and reserve the liquid. Once they are cool enough to handle slice the beetroot and add to a saucepan with the leeks. Grind the peppercorns and cumin seeds in a pestle and mortar. Add this to the beetroot and leeks and add equal volumes of beetroot stock and raisin wine until the vegetables are just covered. Bring this mix to the boil, cover and simmer until the leeks are cooked (about 10 minutes). This is a marvellously colourful dish and goes well with duck or game birds. |
