In Struthione elixo
|
|
The original recipe calls for ostrich in this dish (and though available ostrich is both a rare and an expensive meat as a result I have substituted chicken though guinea fowl would probably be a better substitute). Original RecipeIn Struthione elixo (from Apicius' De Re Coquinaria)In struthione elixo: piper, mentam, cuminum assum, apii semen, dactilos vel caryotas, mel, acetum, passum, liquamen et oleum modice. et in caccabo facies ut bulliat. amulo obligas, et sic partes struthionis in lance perfundis, et desuper piper aspargis. si autem in condituram coquere volueris, alicam addis. TranslationA stock in which to cook ostrich pepper, mint, cumin, leeks, celery seed, dates, honey, vinegar, raisin wine, broth, a little oil. Boil this in the stock kettle with the ostrich, remove the bird when done, strain the liquid thicken with roux. To this sauce add the ostrich meat cut in convenient pieces, sprinkle with pepper. If you wish it more seasoned or tasty, add garlic during cooking. Modern RedactionIngredients:
1 whole large chicken (or small guinea fowl) Method:Put the chicken into a large stock pot, cover with water and simmer gently for 2½ hours until thoroughly cooked. Drain the bird and dry well. Grind the spices in a pestle and mortar and add the asafoetida. Add the vinegar and dates and pound into a paste. Stir the honey, oil and garum into this.
