Pullus Vardanus
|
Original RecipePullus Vardanus (from Apicius' De Re Coquinaria)Pullus Vardanus: pullum coques iure hoc: liquamine, oleo, vino, ‹cui mittis› fasciculum porri, coriandri, satureiae. cum coctus fuerit, teres piper, nucleos cyathos duos et ius de suo sibi suffundis et fasciculos proicies. lac temperas, et reexinanies [in] mortarium supra pullum, ut ferveat. obligas eundem albamentis ovorum tritis, ponis in lance et iure supra scripto perfundis. hoc ius candidum appellatur. TranslationChicken à la Varus: Cook the chicken in this stock: broth, oil, wine, a bunch of leeks, coriander, satury; when done, crush pepper, nuts with 2 glasses of water and the juice of the chicken. Retire the bunches of greens, add milk to taste. The things crushed in the mortar add to the chicken and cook it together: thicken the sauce with beaten whites of egg and pour the sauce over the chicken. This is called "white sauce." Though based on the work of the Roman fourth-century CE gastronome, Apicius this recipe also employs a description given in a poem by the first-century CE poet, Martial. Ingredients:
1.4 kg chicken thighs and drumsticks Method:Cook the chicken by placing in a roasting tin, covering with the Liquamen, olive oil and white wine. Cover with a lid and bake at 180°C for 90 minutes or until the chicken is done. Drain the cooking liquor and reserve. Meanwhile, add the peppercorns, pine nuts, and egg whites to a pan. Pour the remaining cooking liquor from the chicken into this along with 60ml milk (for a thick sauce) or 120ml milk for a more liquid sauce. Gently heat the mixture, stirring all the time. When it is thick enough place the chicken pieces on a plate and cover with the sauce. |
