Part 3/8:
Preparing the Medieval Feast
In a modern interpretation of this culinary tradition, one can recreate a Medieval stew featuring beef ribs. With ingredients like currants (historically sourced from the dried grapes of Corinth), wine, and an assortment of spices, the dish mirrors the era's complex flavor profiles. The method of preparation, often involving roasting followed by slow cooking, reflects the time-honored techniques of medieval kitchens.
The importance of certain ingredients, such as currants, has evolved over the years. Still, their presence in recipes—from a historical standpoint—illustrates how food served as a cultural touchstone across centuries.
