Lasagna Perfection: Uncle Bill’s Secret Sauce Recipe Revealed

Lasagna, one of the oldest types of pasta, has a rich history that dates back to ancient Rome. The term “lasagna” is derived from the Greek word “laganon,” which referred to a flat sheet of pasta dough cut into strips. In ancient Rome, a dish similar to lasagna was called “lasana” or “lasanum,” meaning ‘container’ or ‘pot’. The first recorded recipe for lasagna appeared in the early 14th century in the “Liber de Coquina” (The Book of Cookery).

The modern version of lasagna, which includes layers of pasta, ragù (a meat sauce), béchamel sauce, and cheese, is believed to have originated in the region of Emilia-Romagna in Italy. Over time, various regions in Italy developed their own versions of lasagna. For example, in Naples, lasagna often includes small meatballs, ricotta, mozzarella, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.

Tomatoes, a key ingredient in many lasagna recipes today, were not introduced to Europe until after Columbus’s voyages to the Americas in 1492. The earliest European cookbook to include tomato recipes was published in Naples in 1692. This evolution of ingredients and techniques over centuries has made lasagna a beloved dish worldwide.

Chinese Sticky Rice Dumpling Recipe Zongzi

billk6969 — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 12:01:47 +0000

Chinese Sticky Rice Dumpling Recipe Zongzi

Zongzi is a traditional Chinese rice dish made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves. Fillings can be either sweet, such as red bean paste, or savory, such as pork belly or Chinese sausage. The bamboo for wrapping the zongzi is generally of the species Indocalamus tessellatus, although sometimes reed or other large flat leaves may be used. Zongzi are cooked by steaming or boiling. People in the Eastern world often translate this dish into English as rice dumplings or sticky rice dumplings, although the Chinese government has registered Zongzi as the formal name in global use.

Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival (Double Fifth Festival) which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar, and commonly known as the “Dragon Boat Festival” in English. The festival falls each year on a day in late-May to mid-June in the International calendar.

Black Sesame Mantou Recipe 黑芝麻饅頭

billk6969 — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 16:11:31 +0000

Black Sesame Mantou Recipe 黑芝麻饅頭

Mantou (traditional Chinese: 饅頭; simplified Chinese: 馒头), often referred to as Chinese steamed bun, is a white and soft type of steamed bread or bun popular in northern China. Folk etymology connects the name mantou to a tale about Zhuge Liang.

Black Sesame Powder https://amzn.to/3p5Bjb2
Fleischmanns Yeast, Yeast Rapid Rise Active https://amzn.to/3JfvePY
Baking Powder https://amzn.to/42BEYv3
Granulated Sugar https://amzn.to/3qHOAam

Mantou are typically eaten as a staple food in northern parts of China where wheat, rather than rice, is grown. They are made with milled wheat flour, water and leavening agents. In size and texture, they range from 4 centimeters (1.6 in), soft and fluffy in the most elegant restaurants, to over 15 centimeters (5.9 in), firm and dense for the working man’s lunch. As white flour, being more heavily processed, was once more expensive, white mantou were something of a luxury in preindustrial China.

Traditionally, mantou, bing, and wheat noodles were the staple carbohydrates of the northern Chinese diet, analogous to rice, which forms the mainstay of the southern Chinese diet. They are also known in the south but are often served as street food or in restaurants, rather than as a staple or home cooking. Restaurant mantou are often smaller and more delicate and can be further manipulated, for example, by deep frying and dipping in sweetened condensed milk. Colors and/or flavors may be added with other ingredients from brown sugar to food coloring in mantou making. For special occasions, mantou are sometimes kneaded into various shapes in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong.

Precooked mantou are commonly sold in the frozen section of Asian supermarkets, ready for preparation by steaming or heating in the microwave oven.

A similar food, but with a savory or sweet filling inside, is baozi.[2] Mantou is the older word, and in some regions—such as the Jiangnan region of China, and Korea—mantou (or the equivalent local reading of the word) can describe both the filled and unfilled buns. In Japan, the equivalent local reading of the Chinese word (manjū) refers only to filled buns.

Cornish Pasty Michigan Style

billk6969 — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 20:06:07 +0000

Cornish Pasty Michigan Style

History of the Pasty

When one thinks of gifts from other cultures that carry with them great historical significance, one usually doesn’t think of food. In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan there is a food delicacy that has gone ethnic to multi-ethnic and finally to regional. To many people in the Upper Peninsula, the pasty is much more than food, it is an identifying cultural mark that gives them their own identity. While it is a source of great pride to this region, the pasty itself, especially its ancient history is shrouded in mystery.

The easiest way to describe a pasty, is a pot pie without the pot. Nobody knows for sure where and when the pasty originated. It’s thought to have been invented when the preparation of food became an art rather than roasting a hunk of meat on a stick. The pasty came to the Upper Peninsula through Cornwall England. When tin mining started going bad in England during the 1800’s the Cornish miners immigrated to America hoping to earn there fortunes in newly developing mines. No one knows for sure

though whether the Cornish invented the pasty, or whether they picked it up from some other group. Mrs. R.F. Ellis of Cornwall insist that the

Cornish invented it and that it is a diminutive of the star gazed pie, which is a type of pie baked with fish, such that the fish heads stick out of the pie. Others think the Vikings may have brought the pasty to the British Isles when they invaded. And another theory states that it may have been derived from the Italian “pasta”, since the Cornish were considered to be great seamen.

Textually, the earliest known reference to the pasty contribute it to the Cornish. From 1150 to 1190 a man by the name of Chretien de Troyes wrote several Arthurian romances for the Countess of Champagne. In one of them, Eric and Enide, it mentions pasties: “Next Guivret opened a chest and took out two pasties. “my friend,” says he, “now try a little of these cold pasties And you shall drink wine mixed with water….” ” Both Guivret and Eric came from various parts of what today is considered Cornwall.

Pasties are also mentioned in the Robin Hood ballads of the 1300’s “Bred on chese, butre and milk, pastees and flaunes.” and “Thys knight swolewed, in throte noght pering/ More then doth a pastay in onen tryly!” The pasty was not unique to England by this time, a French Chronicler, Jean Froissart (1337-1414) wrote “with botelles of wyne trusses at their sadelles, and pastyes of samonde, troutes, and eyls, wrapped in towels” Today the French call the pasty, tourtiere. The pasty has even shown up in a William Shakespeare play. In the Merry Wives of Windsor (1600) “come, we have a hot pasty to dinner”

When the Cornish came to the copper mines of the Upper Peninsula, they brought with them a lot of mining knowledge which the other ethnic groups did not have. The other ethnic groups looked up to the Cornish and wanted to emulate their mining successes. Many Cornish practices were then copied by the other ethnic groups, including the pasty as the standard lunch for miners. The pasty became popular with these other ethnic groups because it was small, portable, was very filling, and could stay warm for 8-10 hours. Pasty rivalry occurred between the Finns, Swedes, Irish, Poles, Germans, Scots, Italians and French with each group contributing something in the way of seasoning and other ingredients. All groups agree that pasties must contain two things, potatoes and onions. The portability of the pasty not only made it easy to carry, but if it should get cold it would be relatively easy to heat up. This was done by putting the pasty on a shovel and holding it over a head-lamp candle. Miners never ate a pasty with a fork, they ate it end to end, and held it upright to keep the juices in. Since entire Cornish families worked in mines and each member of the family wanted different ingredients in the pasty, the Cornish wife would stamp the bottom corner of each pasty with an initial. According to the Cornish Recipes Ancient and Modern, “The true Cornish way to eat a pasty is to hold it in the hand, and begin to bite it from the opposite end to the initial, so that, should any of it be uneaten, it may be consumed later by its rightful owner. And woe betide anyone who take’s another person’s corner!” There was a superstition among the Cornish miner’s that the initial corner should not be eaten, instead it was dropped on the ground for the mining gremlins to eat. These “gremlins” caused mischief in mines, causing accidents and mine collapses, feeding them supposedly kept them out of trouble. There is

some truth to this rumor, because the early Cornish tin mines had large amounts of arsenic, by not eating the corner which the miners held, they kept themselves from consuming large amounts of arsenic.

The pasty survived the collapse of mining because it became extremely popular with the major ethnic group to remain after the mines closed, the Fins. In 1864 a small wave of Fins came to the UP, well after the Cornish were established, when the big mining wave of Fins came 30 years later, they probably learned pasty making from the older Fins, not the Cornish. The pasty resembles the Finish foods, piiraat and kuuko, so when the new Fins saw their countrymen carrying it in a pail, they thought that it was the Fins who invented the pasty. Since there was a similar food in Finland, it was easier for the new Fins to adopt it. During Finish “ethnic” celebrations the pasty is often featured as a “Finnish” specialty.

The pasty remains relatively unchanged today, a few places have put in healthier vegetable shortening instead of lard, and a couple of other minor changes like the cut of meat used. It’s importance in this area can be seen at local fund raisers for local groups and charities. Local food businesses make and sell anywhere from 50 to 100 pasties every day!

Pasty Legends:

From the cookbook Cornish Recipes Ancient and Modern, “It is said that the Devil never crossed the Tamar into Cornwall on account of the well-known habit of Cornish women of putting everything into a pasty, and that he was not sufficiently courageous to risk such a fate! However, that may be, the Cornish pasty, in its various forms, is a delectable dainty and deservedly world famous.”

During the 1890’s a pasty actually started a mine fire. What happened is a miner forgot about his meal warming on a shovel. The pasty eventually caught fire (because of the high amounts of lard) and spread to the timber holding the walls up.
