Source:
England, 15th c.
Recipe by Daniel Myers
This recipe is related to the various recipes for civey, but where the civey recipes are meant for rabbit or chicken, the flavors of pevorade are more suited to beef.
Ingredients
1 cup red wine
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. mace
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 slices bread
1/4 medium onion, sliced(about 1/4 cup)
1/4 tsp. ginger
Method
Put wine, cinnamon, cloves, mace, and pepper into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, tear the bread into pieces and put into a bowl with the vinegar and water, and stir until the bread turns to mush. Strain the liquid into the saucepan and discard the solids. Add onion and ginger, and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the onions are tender. Serve hot over beef.
