With the exception of onions, which seemed to fall into the category of 
herbs for flavoring the meat.  I posted a 1599 recipe for Olla Podrida 
which contains a large assortment of meats and poultry, plus garbanzo 
beans, onions, turnips, and cabbage.  Aside from being just barely 
period (nouvelle cuisine, as His Grace would say), it is unlike anything 
else in the pre-17th century Spanish recipes, and should probably be 
considered the first appearance of a modern-style dish.
