I am no cook or specialist in this area but I have cooked and eaten and enjoyed<br>
<br>
Pork, onion and plums, with an assortment of nuts.<br>
Cook off the pork cubes and onion, cut plums into nice chunks and at the last minute chuck in the diced plums and nuts to warm through - quite nice.<br>
<br>
The second one I use is almost exactly the same but it done with chicken, onion and grapes.<br>
<br>
I tend to spice the food with various spices that I have lying about at home which I have no idea whether or not the Romans actually had.<br>
<br>
I got the basis of these recipes from a cook who had (so he told me) researched the true ingredients.<br>
<br>
Perhaps what someone could do would be to list the various fruits and nuts that the Romans had available to them, but I suspect we coudl run into regional probelms, foods available in the UK might not resemble those of N.Africa?<br>
<br>
Hope this helps, but as I say I am not expert, but the above recipes are 'finger licking good' <p>Graham Ashford
