    Recipe Introduction


    England, 15th century

    List of Ingredients




    Beef ribs
    Cinnamon Sticks
    Cloves (powder)
    Mace
    Grains of Paradise (or substitute Cardamom)
    Cubeb (or substitute Black Pepper)
    Onions, minced
    Parsley, chopped
    Sage
    Unseasoned Bread Crumbs
    Red Wine Vinegar
    Saffron or a few drops of yellow food coloring
    Salt

    Recipe



    Place the ribs in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil; add all spices except saffron & salt & reduce heat to a simmer. Continue simmering until the beef is completely cooked. Remove some of the broth; with a wire whisk, thoroughly blend the broth , red wine vinegar, & bread crumbs into a smooth gravy-like consistency. When the beef has cooked, add some of this mixture to the pot, just enough to slightly thicken the broth. Be sure that this thickening agent has thoroughly blended with the broth. Return to a boil and cook for several more minutes. Reduce heat, add salt to taste and enough additional vinegar to give it a slightly sharp taste - it needs to be "poynaunt." Remove the cinnamon sticks. Serve forth!
