Beef and Cheese Pie, 16th Century, Netherlands - 2nd version (Empada de Carne e Queijo, Séc. XVI, Países Baixos, 2ª versão)

For the pastry: 240g of plain flour - 2 tsp salt - 80g lard - 75 ml water  

 For the filling:  380g of beef - 150g cheddar cheese - a pinch of saffron and ginger 

Add the flour and salt together into a bowl and make a well in the center. Heat the lard and water until boiling and pour it in the well. Beat the mixture with a spoon and then knead it. Mould it in a pie dish. After filling it, cover with the pastry lid.  

For beef pies. Take beef and that you shall cut very small and put into this in the winter manner: cheese, ginger and saffron. (I have put the slices of cheese first, then the meat, then sprinkled a bit of saffron and ginger on it, and then put some more pieces of cheese on top). 

Bake in the oven at 220ºC, for 15 minutes, then at 180ºC, for another 15 minutes.

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...
