Recipe: A Roast of Meat, 13th century (Receita: Um Assado de Carne, séc. XIII).

Roast salted, well-marbled (lamb or beef) meat [cut up] like fingertips, and put in a pot spices, onion, salt, oil and soaked garbanzos. Cook until done and add the roast meat; cover the contents of the pot with cilantro and sprinkle with pepper and cinnamon; and if you add whole pine nuts or walnuts in place of garbanzos, it will be good. Assar carne (de vaca ou cordeiro) salgada e bem cortada. Colocar numa panela temperos, cebola, sal, azeite e grão-de-bico encharcados. Cozinhe até terminar e adicione a carne assada; cubra o conteúdo da panela com coentros e polvilhe com pimenta e canela. Se adicionar pinhões ou nozes inteiros no lugar de grão-de-bico, será bom.
