Empadas de Carne, Idade Média, Portugal (Meat Pies, Middle Ages, Portugal).


2kg farinha - 10 gemas de ovo - 400 ml água - 200g banha de porco - 200 ml de azeite- 2 kg carne de porco - 600 g de toucinho - sal qb  

Fazer um monte de farinha em forma de vulcão, juntar água morna, a banha derretida, azeite e sal. Mexer muito bem, juntar as gemas e amassar. Deixar repousar durante 30 minutos. Forrar uma forma de massa, cortar as carnes em pedaços e colocar dentro da forma. Cobrir e pincelar com azeite. Leve ao forno a 200º, por 30 minutos. 

Nota: Como a carne de porco tem de ser muito bem cozida, dependendo do tipo de forno utilizado, é aconselhado pré-cozê-la no forno antes de a colocar na tarte.

    perfect pie every time! The crust is suberb but the meat filling should fedinitely be pre-cooked and seasoned because the crust doesn't take very long to turn that golden colour!

Recipe: Cheese Ravioli, 16th Century (Receita: Ravioli, Séc. XVI).

     Take spinach and blanch it as if you were making cooked spinach, and chop it small. Take approximately one handful, when it is chopped, cheese or meat from a chicken or capon that was boiled or roasted. Then take twice as much cheese as herb, or of chicken an equal amount, and beat two or three eggs into it and make a good dough, put salt and pepper into it and make a dough with good flour, as if you would make a tart, and when you have made little flat cakes of dough then put a small ball of filling on the edge of the flat cake and form it into a dumpling. And press it together well along the edges and place it in broth and let it cook about as long as for a softboiled egg. The meat should be finely chopped and the cheese finely grated.  Bibliography: Sabina Welser's Cookbook, tr. from Das Kochbuch der Sabina Welserin (c. 1553) by Valoise Armstrong, Little Rock, Arizona, 1998    in  David Friedman and Elizabeth Cook - How to Milk an Alm...
