Assaturas

Zu gebratenem Fleisch

Myrtle berries were unavailable, so I chose to substitute dried currants instead. My sauce seemed quite thick without the addition of bread crumbs, so I left them out. Perhaps if fresh currants or myrtle berries had been used, the mixture would have been moister, requiring thickening.

Ius in Assaturae

For Roasted Meat: Crush dried, pitted myrtle berries with cumin, pepper, honey, garum, defrutum, and oil; heat and thicken with starch. Boil the meat and then roast it slightly with salt; pour the sauce over, sprinkle with pepper, and serve.
