Meats[edit | edit source]

Chicken a la Stasi[edit | edit source]

aka Dutch Oven Chicken

Provided by Lady Anastasia de Carrera Ingredients:

  1. Dried beef
  2. Chicken, boneless breasts are nice, but bone-in legs and thighs are good and messy (enough to line the bottom of your Dutch Oven)
  3. Bacon
  4. Seasonings of your choice for the chicken (I'm kind of partial to Greek seasoning)
  5. Sour Cream-16 oz container
  6. Two 10 oz cans of cream of something soup (I like the Golden Mushroom)

Equipment:

  1. Dutch Oven (the kind with legs on the bottom and a rimmed lid works best for the charcoal)
  2. Foil or foil casserole pan (optional if you really like to clean messy cast iron)
  3. Charcoal

Season your chicken pieces then wrap each piece with a strip of bacon (or half strip if you are running short and the store is closed or too far away) If you are making this ahead of time and you started with fresh chicken, you can easily freeze the chicken at this point. I like to freeze them individually then package them, it makes handling them much easier if they aren't quite thawed when you want to use them. Line your Dutch Oven with foil, place a layer of dried beef in the bottom, then add a layer of your seasoned chicken. Mix together the sour cream and soup and pour over the chicken.

Place 17 pieces of charcoal under the Dutch Oven and 11 pieces on the lid, let cook for one hour and you will have a pot full of chicken and gravy. I have tried adding dried potato slices to this dish, it worked ok but fresh may have worked better, not quite as dry. You also have to allow for more cooking time. Serving suggestions with this chicken:

  1. Noodles or potatoes (you have plenty of gravy to poor over)
  2. Veggie (I like glazed carrots)
  3. Fresh bread (again, you need something to sop up all that good gravy)

Potage from Meat[edit | edit source]

(from Plantina book 7)

Contributed by Lady Kaie of Blakewode This recipe is from Cariadoc’s Miscellany…our favorite supper at Lilies. I prepare as much of this ahead of time as I can and freeze it. Then I add the fresh herbs, water, breadcrumbs and cheese on site. I have made it with dried herbs but the fresh mint is so much better! (I go heavier on the mint because we like it that way.) My family prefers to sprinkle the cheese on their individual servings. It tends to get very sticky if the cheese is cooked in with the stew.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/3 lb stew beef
  • 4 c water
  • “Rich juice”: 31 oz (3 cans) concentrated beef broth
  • 1 1/2 c dry bread crumbs
  • 3/4 t pepper
  • 8 threads saffron
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 1/2 c grated cheese (~ 7 oz)
  • 3/8 c chopped parsley
  • 3/4 t dried or 1 t fresh marjoram
  • 1 1/2 T chopped fresh mint
  • Verjuice: 3 T wine vinegar
  • 1 t salt (to taste)

Take lean meat and let it boil, then cut it up finely and cook it again for half an hour in rich juice, having first added crumbs. Add a little pepper and saffron. When it has cooled a little, add beaten eggs, grated cheese, parsley, marjoram, finely chopped mint with a little verjuice. Blend them all together in a pot, stirring them slowly with a spoon so that they do not form a ball. The same may be done with livers and lungs.

Bring meat and water to a boil and cook 10 minutes; take meat out and cut up small; put back in water with broth, bread crumbs, pepper, and saffron. Simmer 1/2 hour over low flame, being careful that it does not stick. Mix in remaining ingredients; cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. This makes about 10 cups.

This is a rather meat-rich version; it also works with as little as half this much meat.


Spiced Roast Pork with Apples and Currants[edit | edit source]

(adapted from Spiced Roast Chicken from Eating Shakespeare) Contributed by Lady Juliana MacNayre adapted from a recipe by Lady Kaie of Blakwode Tor

  • Butter or oil
  • Approx. 3 pork roasts
  • juice of 1/2 orange
  • 1/2 tsp cider vinegar
  • Spices
    • 1/2 tsp cloves
    • 1/2 tsp mace
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tsp salt

Stuffing (original recipe was for a roasting chicken)

  • 2+ apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup dried currants, washed (or raisins - make a sweeter result)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (might decrease sugar esp. if use raisins)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Prepare a dutch oven over coals equivalent to a 325 degree oven. Put half of "stuffing" into the dutch oven. Clean the roast, rub it with the "spices", dot with butter and put into the oven. Put in the remaining "stuffing". Bake approx. 25 minutes per pound. Take out the roast and slice. Add orange juice and vinegar to the "stuffing" in the dutch oven and mix before spooning over the meat. This was a big hit in the meal plan at Lilies XXII (2008).

Heat through until beans tender and flavors blended. All amounts approximate. Adjust seasoning to taste. A big hit in the Lilies XXII (2008) meal plan.


Pickled Mushrooms[edit | edit source]

recipe from Lady Antonia Stefani's Ukrainian grandmother

3 lb small whole mushrooms 2 1/2 cups white vinegar 1 3/4 cups water 3 TBS canning and pickling salt 1/3 cup chopped onion 2 1/2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns 5 cloves garlic

Trims stems ends of mushrooms and wash in cool running water. Drain. In a large pot, combine the vinegar, water and salt. Heat, striing to dissovle the salt. Add mushrooms. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer mushrooms in brine for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Pack mushrooms into sterilized half pint jars. To each jar, add 1 TBS onion, 1/2 tsp peppercorns and one clove garlic. Fill jars with hot brine, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles using a non-metal spatula. Wipe rims of jars and adjust lids. Process for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Makes approximately 5 half-pints.


Spinach with Bacon and Feta[edit | edit source]

(originally from Mistress Tatiana) Made by Lady Juliana Macnayre for Lilies

  • 1 bag frozen spinach, defrosted
  • 1/4 lb bacon
  • Chicken broth to keep moist
  • 1/4 lb (or to taste) sheep's milk cheese (eg. feta)

Fry bacon and reserve fat. Rinse frozen spinach with cold water and drain thoroughly, and then squeeze to remove as much water as possible. Gently fry spinach in bacon grease. Put in a slow cooker (or dutch oven). Add just enough chicken broth to moisten. Cook until done. Add cheese just before serving.


Soups[edit | edit source]

Stone Soup a la Stasi/Thomas[edit | edit source]

Well, there isn't really a recipe, but it certainly is a Shire favorite. The secret might be the seasoning and the slow simmering over an open fire.

It really doesn't matter what you put into the soup pot for meats, veggies or spices. Actually the biggest secret to a really good pot of stone soup is the friendship and comraderie from everyone joining together to add something to the pot or as accompanying side dishes.


Starches[edit | edit source]

Savory Kasha:[edit | edit source]

[served 2 batches]

3 cups water 3 beef boullion cubes 1 cup bulgar (cracked wheat) 1 whole onion, sliced, lightly fried 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, finely chopped

Bring water and boullion cubes to a boil and immediately stir in bulgar. Simmer over low heat stirring every 15 minutes until the desired texture, approximately 45 minutes. Meanwhile, fry the onions in 3 tbs of butter for 3 or 4 minutes, until the onions are soft and pale gold. Add the onions to the cooked kasha. Cook the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons more butter on moderate heat for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Then raise the heat to high and cook the mushrooms uncovered until all the liquid in the pan has evaporated. Add the mushrooms to the kasha and season to taste.

Inspired by the kasha recipe in Russian Cooking, Time Life Books Foods of the World Series.

Breads[edit | edit source]

Garlic Monkey Bread[edit | edit source]

Lady Juliana MacNayre

Runzas[edit | edit source]

Mistress Juliana MacNayre

  • Rhodes Texas Dinner Rolls thawed (or other similar dough)
  • 2 lbs. ground meat
  • 1 can sauerkraut, drained
  • salt, pepper, greek seasoning etc. (your choice)

Cook ground meat thoroughly. Add spices and sauerkraut, cook about 15 minutes and let cool a little.

Flatten ball of dough to about 3" across. Top with 1/4 c. of meat mixture. Fold up sides of dough and pinch together and twist. Place pinched side down in pan.

Bake rolls until brown on top, about 15 minutes.

Juliana's notes: I take the frozen rolls out just before I start cooking the meat. By the time everything is cooked and cooled some the rolls are usually thawed enough to work with. I sometimes brush melted butter on the tops after they are baked.

Serve them warm or cold. I actually prefer them cold. They also freeze well. For the Inn we served beef runzas, pulled bbq chicken and vegetable runzas. The chicken and vegetables ones did not have sauerkraut.

Mint Sekanjabin[edit | edit source]

provided by Mistress Sofya la Rus from Cariadoc's Miscellancy

  • 2.5 cups water
  • 4 cups sugar/honey
  • 1 c white vinegar
  • 1/2 c mint (or 8 sprigs)

Dissolve the sugar in the water. Bring to a boil and add the vinegar. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add the mint, stir, and remove from the heat. Allow to cool and strain out the mint. Dilute syrup to taste to serve, approximately 1 part syrup to 5-10 parts water. The syrup does not need refrigeration. Documentation: recipe found in Cariadoc's Miscellany.


Strawberry Sekanjabin[edit | edit source]

(aka Strawberry Shrub) provided by Mistress Sofya la Rus from Food on the Frontier

  • One 16-oz package frozen strawberries
  • Approximately 2 cups vinegar.
  • Approximately 2 cups sugar/honey

Pour just enough vinegar over frozen berries to almost cover them. (As the berries thaw and soften, they will settle under the vinegar.) Cover and leave out at room temperature overnight. Strain out berries. Measure liquid and put in medium saucepan. Add equal amount of sweetener of choice. Boil the mixture for 10 minutes. Make sure your pan is big enough to avoid boiling over. (I used a 2 quart pan.) Dilute syrup to taste to serve, approximately 1 part syrup to 5 parts water.

Documentation: recipe is from Food on the Frontier - a cookbook of 19th cent. Minnesota pioneer recipes. It is obviously in the sekanjabin family of beverages, which are documented to period. Similar honeyed beverages in traditional Russian cuisine are called syta.

Apple Walnut Tart[edit | edit source]

modified from Alia Atlas' redaction of #61 Ein Buch von guter spise brought by Sofya

So du wilt einen vasten krapfen machen von nuezzen mit ganzem kern, und nim als vil epfele dor under und snide sie wuerfeleht als der kern ist und roest sie mit ein wenig honiges und mengez mit wuertzen und tu ez uf die bleter die so gemaht sin zu krapfen und loz ez backen und versaltz niht.

[How you want to make a fastday krapfen of nuts with whole kernels. And take as many apples thereunder and cut them diced, as the kernel is, and roast them well with a little honey and mix with spices and put it on the leaves, which you made to krapfen, and let it bake and do not oversalt.]

  • 3 cups diced "field" apples (original redaction calls for 2 cups of Granny Smith, but peeled too many apples)
  • 2 cups walnuts (chunks about the same size as the diced apples)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground mace
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 nine-inch pie crust

Cook apples in honey and spices until they are just starting to soften. Add walnuts. Put in a 9-inch pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Sofya's Comment: The amount of walnuts, even with the extra apple, could be overwhelming (it seemed better the next day), and I would strongly recommend adding a tablespoon of flour to the filling to thicken the juices a little.


Cock-a-Leekie Soup[edit | edit source]

brought by Gida to the November 2008 A&S Meeting

"I based this on a recipe by a fellow SCAer... Alaina recommended more leeks than are in the recipe."


Byzantine Feast A.S. 42 - Ages of War '07.[edit | edit source]

Feast Steward Brigida von München.

Here are the recipes I used for Ages of War II feast, hosted by Heraldshill. All recipes but the carrots were based on recipes in Byzantine Cuisine by Henry Mark. — Gida

Flavored Water[edit | edit source]

per pitcher

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 cups water
  • ½ cup mint
  • 2 oranges (optional; can use other fruit juices)

Mix all ingredients. Let steep before serving.


Chai Spiced Carrots[edit | edit source]

serves 6

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 spiced Chai-flavored tea bags (I used green tea version for feast)
  • 16 oz of baby carrots
  • rind of half an orange
  • 1/8 cup honey
  • ¼ cup butter

In a medium saucepan, boil water. Add tea bags and steep for 4 minutes. Remove tea bags. Add carrots to the tea and cook until tender. Drain carrots and set aside. In the same pot, combine the orange rind, honey, and butter. Cook over low heat until butter melts. Stir in carrots and remove orange rind. Serve.


Cabbage Salad[edit | edit source]

period cole slaw serves 8

  • ½ head of cabbage
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/8 cup honey
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • extra sugar, as needed

Chop cole slaw and cilantro. Mix the honey and vinegar and add to the vegetables. Add additional sugar to taste. Let marinate for several hours before serving.


Spelt Bread[edit | edit source]

a low-gluten bread makes 1 loaf

  • ¼ cup of ground spelt (find in health food/organic section of grocery store)
  • 1 pkg quick rise yeast
  • 1 tsp honey or sugar
  • 3 cups cake flour (maximum amount; I usually used around 2 cups)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1½ cups water

Mix ½ cup water, sugar and yeast together and set in a warm place to proof. In a mixing bowl (I used a stand mixer with a dough hook), put in the spelt, rest of water and salt. Add the proofed yeast and mix. Add the cake flour a half-cup at a time, scraping the bowl often. Knead for 10-15 minutes, place in a greased bowl, and let rise until the dough no longer bounces back when poked. Shape into a round loaf and place on baking sheet sprinkled with stone ground wheat. Bake at 350º for about an hour. The loaf is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool. Serve with honey butter. Note: the loaf will not be "poofy" like modern loaves due to the low-gluten content of the flour.


Lentil Stew[edit | edit source]

  • 1 cup lentils
  • ½ cup pearl barley
  • 6 cups of stock (I used vegetable; can use a chicken- or beef-flavored as well)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup leek, chopped (white parts only)
  • ¼ cup fresh dill weed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup mint, finely chopped

Bring 5 cups of water with a teaspoon of salt added to a boil. Wash the lentils and drain. Add the lentils to the boiling water and simmer for about 1½ hours, or until the lentils are soft. After about an hour of cooking, add the leeks, dill, olive oil, vinegar and mint. When the lentils are soft, bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a separate saucepan. Add the barley and cook for about 10-12 minutes, until soft. Put the entire contents of this saucepan into the lentils-vegetable pan. Stir to mix. Cook the entire contents together about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Serve hot.

Sofya's comment: I love this recipe and make a batch to take to Gulf Wars almost every year. I even like it cold.


Mustard Sauce[edit | edit source]

served with the roasted chicken

  • ½ tsp ground mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • white wine, as needed

Finely chop the cilantro and mix with salt. Stir the cilantro into the mustard and mix completely. Add the wine to thin the mixture to make a nice dipping sauce for meat.


Braised Beef[edit | edit source]

serves 8

  • 2 lb beef roast (cheaper cuts work better!
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 medium sized leeks, slice (white parts only)
  • 1 tbsp mint
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/6 cup honey
  • ¼ cup red wine

Cook the beef in a covered casserole dish in the oven at 350º or crockpot on high for 2-3 hours, with just enough water to cover. After the meat is done, add the vinegar, leeks, fennel, mint, and celery to the same pot. The liquid there should be enough to cover the vegetables. Cook uncovered at medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Add the rest of the ingredients, reduce heat to low, and baste the meat until serving time.


Honey Cakes with Pears[edit | edit source]

  • ¾ cup water
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2-3 cups unbleached flour
  • 4 eggs
  • additional honey for topping
  • large can of pears or 4 fresh pears, poached in honey water

Preheat oven to 375º. Use a cooking spray to grease the cake pans. Warm honey in the microwave or in double-boiler. Mix the honey and water. Add flour in small amounts and mix by hand until the dough barely holds its shape. Too much flour will make the cake tough. Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks until they are a pale yellow. In a separate bowl, beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully mix the dough and beaten yolks completely. Softly fold in the whites. Pour the dough into a pan or pans. Bake for about 40 minutes. The cake is done when the top is brown and firm to the touch. As the cake comes out of the oven, pour additional warmed honey on the top and allow it to soak in. Cool. Cut into 8 pieces. Plate. Top each piece of cake with a pear half.

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 cups chocolate chips, 2 Hershey's chocolate bars, chopped or M&M'S

Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture and mix until combined. Stir chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir to distribute evenly.

For cookies: Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets and bake about 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack. ( I cook for eleven minutes and leave on pan for five minutes then on to the cooling rack )

Buttermilk Bliny[edit | edit source]

Sofya

4c buttermilk 3 eggs, beaten 1 1/4 c flour 3 TBS sugar 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt

Mix eggs with buttermilk. Add remaining ingredients and blend until no lumps. Batter should be liquid but dense - adjust flour as necessary. Grease hot pan (350 degree electric skillet) with butter. Pour 1/4 cup for each pancake (too much and the delicate pancakes will be too big to flip) and fry as usual for pancakes.

Serve with butter, sour cream, sugar, jam, the berry cherry sauce (below)… or just eat them straight. They are light and delicate, yet rich.

Berry Cherry Sauce[edit | edit source]

12 oz. frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries…) 12 oz. cherry preserves sugar to taste (about 1 TBS) flour to thicken (about 2 tsp?)

Simmer together until sauce thickens. Will thicken a little more as it cools.
