GODE COOKERY TRANSLATION: Galyntine Sauce. Take crusts of bread and grind them small. Do there-to powder of galingale, of canel, of ginger, and salt it; temper it up with vinegar, and push it up through a strainer, and serve it forth.
INGREDIENTS:
Thoroughly blend the bread crumbs and vinegar into a smooth gravy-like consistency, keeping in mind that is meant to be a sauce. (A food processor works best.) Season with the spices and salt to taste. Serve as sauce for meat, poultry, or fish. For the Medieval cook, pushing ingredients through a fine strainer was the best way to combine liquids and solids into a sauce or gravy; for us, a food processor or a blender is far easier and produces better results. |
