In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt,
stir in the water, and knead the mixture on a floured surface until
it forms a soft but not sticky dough. Let the dough stand, covered
with a kitchen towel, for 15 minutes. Pull off egg-size pieces of the
dough and pat and stretch them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Poke a
hole with a finger through the center of each round so that the
breads will fry evenly. In a large heavy skillet heat the shortening
over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it fry
the rounds, 1 at a time, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they
are golden, and transfer the breads as they are fried to paper towels
to drain. From: Kailariwoifeyes@aol.Com Date: Sat, 22 Feb

The Cherokee people made bread before the white man came along with
his mills for grinding corn into meal or his soda for making the
bread rise. To prepare meal to make Bean Bread one uses flour corn.
This corn is skinned with wood ashes. Sieve the ashes, put these
ashes into an iron pot or well-made pottery over the fire. When the
water begins to boil put in the corn, stir once in a while to make
sure that the corn does not stick. Let this boil until it is thick
enough to bubble. Take the corn off the fire. Go to the branch, or
what ever source of water that is nearby, wash the corn in the
running water by placing it in a sieve and letting the water run
through it until it is clean. The sieve is a basket that is made so
that there will be little holes in the bottom to let the water go
through. After washing the corn let it drip until all extra water is
dropped off it. While the corn is still damp pound it into meal by
using the old homemade corn beater. This beater is made by hollowing
out a log or stump and beating with a pole with the piece the size of
the tree left at the top to give it weight.
To make the Bean Bread, boil dry beans in plain water until tender.
Pour boiling beans and some of the soup into the cornmeal and stir
until mixed. Have pot of plain water on the fire boiling. If you want
bean dumplings, just make mixture out in balls and cook in the pot of
plain water, uncovered, until done. Eat these dumplings plain, with
butter, meat grease (the Indian's favorite), wild game, hot or cold,
as suits one's fancy. If you want broadswords you should mold the
dumplings flat in the hand and wrap in corn blades, cured corn
fodder, or hickory, oak or cucumber tree leaves. Tie with a stout
reed unless able to tie the wrappings. Drop this into the boiling
water, cover, and boil until done. Do not put any salt in Bean Bread
or it will crumble.
CURING FODDER
Gather even lengths of broad mature blades from the corn plant.
Gather the point ends together, double over and tie. Hang in the
shade to dry for winter use. Dip in hot water to limber up when ready
to use.
Use fine corn meal that has been ground at the grist mill. Sieve the
meal, add wood ashes lye to the meal until it begins to turn a little
yellow. Add cooked beans, soup and all while boiling hot. Proceed
from here as in the first recipe.
BEAN BREAD-Modern
Use any kind of cornmeal, add cooked beans, baking soda and salt.
Cook in a pan as ordinary cornbread. Eat hot or cold but do not be
surprised if it is not very good. The salt will make the bread
Page 9
Put hardwood ashes into a bucket, barrel, old piece of pottery, or any
container that has holes in the bottom. Pour water over the ashes,
catch the drippings in any kind of vessel except a tin one or an
aluminum one. Pottery and gourds are good for catching the lye
drippings. Wood ashes lye is very strong and care should be taken in
handling it.
Skin and wash some flour corn the same as for Bean Bread. Put the
corn into a pot, cook until the grains begin to crack, add raw
shelled beans (also pumpkin if you have it and like it), cook until
beans are soft. While this is cooking prepare walnut meats by
pounding them in the corn beater, then mixing with a little water.
Add this to the cooking mixture, stir constantly while cooking for 10
or 15 minutes more, or until done. A little meal may be added with
the walnut meats to make it thicken.
Prepare the meal the same as for Bean Bread but use chestnuts instead
of beans. Cut the chestnuts in small pieces before cooking them.
Prepare the same as for Bean Bread but use pieces of cooked but not
over-cooked sweet potatoes.
CARROT BREAD
Prepare the same as for Bean Bread but use pieces of carrots not too
well cooked.
1 bean terrine
1 lb dried small white or pinto
1 beans
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon red chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 brown herb sauce:
3 cup beef stock
4 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
3 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
32 sprigs fresh chervil, for
1 garnish
8 whole chives, for garnish
1 chips:
8 blue cornmeal tortillas
1 cup vegetable oil
Soak the beans overnight in enough water to cover. The following day,
drain the beans, rinse under cold running water, and place in a pot
with fresh water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then
reduce heat and simmer for several hours until the beans are soft.
Remove from heat and drain. Mash the beans and mix with butter and
cornmeal. Set aside.
Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the bean
mixture, salt, pepper, chile powder and cumin. Reduce the heat and
simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Pour
into a greased 5-X-9 inch loaf pan, cool to room temperature, and
chill in the refrigerator overnight or until firm. Unmold from the
loaf pan, cut into approximately 1/2 inch slices, and set on a cookie
sheet. Reheat in a 350degree F. oven for 10 minutes, until warm.
For the Brown Herb Sauce, bring the stock to a boil in a large
saucepan over moderate heat. Add the butter and stir until completely
melted. Add the tarragon, chives, dill and basil, stir 1 minutes, and
remove from the heat.
Cut the tortillas into chips (or shapes of your choice)with scissors
or a small paring knife. In a skillet over moderate to high heat,
heat the oil until it almost reaches the smoking point. Using two
forks, dip each tortilla chip into the hot oil, remove and blot with
a paper towel.
To Serve: spoon some Brown Herb Sauce onto each plate and place 2
slices of the Bean Terrine in the center. Garnish with Blue Cornmeal

Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch
heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking,
then brown meat in 2 batches, transferring to a plate as browned.
Return all meat to skillet. Add onion, garlic, and cumin and cook,
stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Puree
tomatoes with juice, chiles, adobo sauce, and water in a blender or
food processor and add to meat mixture. Simmer, covered, stirring
occasionally, until meat is tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Add hominy and
simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Season with salt.
I made this last night with 2 chillies, seeded, and it blew the roof
off our mouths--I thought I liked spicy foods! Still, once we
mellowed it with a little sour cream, we really enjoyed the flavor. I
liked the hominy, but my husband was not pleased--I'll use some corn
next time.
A fiery dish! Next time I'll use one pepper. I would also use a
better cut of meat for less prep time. For variation and to tame the
heat, corn would be a good addition as would pinquitos beans. We
thoroughly enjoyed it the second day too.
Tasty, hearty and very easy to make. Even the kids cleaned their
plates. I used one Chipotle pepper and one tablespoon of adobo sauce.
That gave the dish some kick without being too spicy for the kids. No
fan of hominy, I substituted a can of corn, drained and rinsed--the
result was colorful and delicious. I served it over rice. This dish
is great to prepare the night before. I got it to the point of adding
the corn, then refrigerated it overnight and finished it quickly the
next night. I think doing this also mellowed the slightly bitter,
smoky taste Chipotle dishes sometimes have. This dish will definitely
become a regular at our house.

To sour milk just put the milk in a small bowl and add about 3 tbsp
white vinegar to it. Let it stand for a couple of minutes and you
have the replacement for butter milk (which I do not drink).
Blend egg, milk and oil. Measure flour by dig-level pour and blend dry
ingredients together. Add to liquids. Mix well until everything is
moist. The batter will have a few lumps. Grease heated griddle....I
know use that spray stuff, it's really easy. If you need to test that
the griddle is just right, sprinkle a few drops of water on it, when
the water sizzles it's hot enough. Pour batter from pitcher or use a
ladle/big spoon, slightly apart. Turn pancakes as soon as they are
puffed and full of bubbles, but, before the bubbles break. Turn and
brown the other side. Serve immediately with butter and

a bit thinner than this, so, I add just a bit more milk to mine. If I
need to keep them warm while I get them all cooked (so we might get
to eat together *S*) I'll place them between the folds of a white

find that a 15 min knead even with the dough hook gives a very even
crumb and good strength if one chooses (as I do) to make free-form
loaves. For those who use a thermometer to check their bread, I have
found that an internal temp of 185-190F yields a very acceptable
loaf. And, finally, I omit the oil and have found it makes no
difference except to omit about 513 cal from the loaf. It's become a

yellow pollen. This nutritious, corn-flavoured food substance in
easily gathered by wading through cattail marshes and gently bending
each bloom spike over a deep bowl or bucket and "dusting" the golden
pollen in (thereby pollinating the plant at the same time). This
gathering is best accomplished on a still, dry afternoon. Gather as
much fresh pollen as you can use soon or put by. It is an important
flour extender and makes a good addition to biscuit, bread, and cake
batters. It should be added in an equal amount to replace an equal

Mix together dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to stir in oil, then
water, making a ball. Knead for 2 minutes, then cover and let sit 20
minutes. Divide into 12 balls, then flatten into 1/8" disks and cook
in a dry skillet at medium temperature. When slightly brown (appx. 2
minutes), turn and cook the other side 1 minute. If you plan to use
the cooked tortillas at a later time you can store them in a plastic

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix all the ingrediants together, EXCEPT
WATER in a large bowl, by hand. slowly add water little by little to
form a a dry dough. That is the trick with bannock the dough must not
be too wet. Mix the mixture by hand to make sure that all of the
ingrediants are blended together into a nice dough. Spread the dough
out in a 16" well greased baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for
about 20 minutes or until golden brown. You can add rasins or
currants to the dough before baking. I like to cover the top of the
bread when it is fresh out of the oven with lots of butter and let it
melt over the top. The kids especially like it with peanut butter or
stawberries in honey syrup, which is a recipe that I will soon post.

* Sunflower Seeds: Seeds from the native North American annual were
used extensively by many tribes. The seeds are an excellent protein
source raw or roasted. Sunflower seed oil is extracted by bruising
and boiling the seeds, then skimming the oily residue off the broth.
The ground paste, retaining its natural oil, makes a fine butter. The
roasted seeds and shells make an interesting coffee drink.

The Pueblos have the distinction of making what must be the thinnest
bread in the world--piki. It does rather an injustice to it to call
piki simply "paper bread," for its layers are at least as thin as
tissue paper and often look like they are composed of more air than
bread. In the traditional recipe, a thin batter is made from blue
cornmeal and water that has been soaked with juniper ashes. The cook
sits before a flat stone that has been heated in a fire, armed with
no other implement than one whole sheep's brain. This she uses to
grease the stone, after which she spreads a thin layer of piki batter
across the entire surface with a deft sweep of her hand. When the
papery sheet of corn batter crinkles and dries, it is lifted off.
Three or four stacked sheets rolled together into a scroll make one
piki.
As it turns out piki is easy to duplicate at home if you have any size
skillet coated with a nonstick surface (a 7-8" pan is ideal). The
batter is brushed onto the pan bottom with a bristle brush (nylon
might melt)
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, pour in the hot water all at once,
and whisk the batter for a few seconds until it is smooth. Arm
yourself with a 1" bristle brush, preferably a good-quality pastry
brush or, failing that, a paintbrush. Heat a nonstick skillet over
low heat until it is warm, but do not grease it. The size does not
much matter, since small pikis and large ones are equally easy to
lift once they dry thoroughly. The pan should not be made so hot that
the batter sizzles when you try to brush it on, for the action of the
nonstick material will then cause it to bead up. What you want is a
layer of batter spread onto the pan like a layer of paint.
Take the skillet up in one hand and brush on a layer of batter, using
this at right angles to it--in other words, you are painting in a
crosshatch. Do not worry about holes in the surface, since even a
coating almost imperceptible to the eye will cook into bread. Return
the skillet to the heat and cook for about a minute. The batter has
to sizzle and evaporate all its moisture before it is done. As soon
as the hissing stops and the surface of the bread looks dry and
crinkley, peel it off with your fingers by starting up one edge with
Page 38
Once you have 4 layers, roll them loosely into a scroll and set
aside. Cook the breads in this fashion until you have made 2 per
person. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature with a good salsa
and your main-course dish, preferably a Pueblo stew.
NOTES: One small problem abut baking the piki is that a skillet hot
enough to dry out the dough is too hot to brush with more batter
right away. It helps to have two pans on hand, one to cool while the
other bakes. Also, piki dough tends to become gummy on the brush,
which needs washing once that becomes a nuisance. Finally, if the
batter in the bowl looks too thick at any point, you can dilute it
with water or simply make up a new batch.
VARIATION:
Piki in Blue, Yellow and Pink: In ceremonial and festive use, the
Pueblos often color this bread, using blue cornmeal for the blue,
ground coxcomb for the pink and safflower for yellow. For blue piki,
make a batter from 3 T. blue cornmeal, 2 T. Masa Harina and 3 T.
cornstarch, plus the water and salt in the basic recipe. For pink and
yellow breads, simply add a few drops of food coloring to the basic
batter as you whisk it up.

1 for mayonnaise
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh
1 gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 for salmon burgers:
3/4 lb salmon fillet, skin
1 discarded
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh
1 gingerroot
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 hamburgers buns, cut sides
1 toasted lightly
2 thin slices sweet onion
2 slice vine-ripened tomato
Make Salmon Burgers: Discard any bones in salmon and finely chop
salmon by hand. In a bowl stir together salmon, mustard, gingerroot,
soy sauce, and salt and pepper to taste and form into two 3-inch
patties.
In a non-stick skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not
smoking and saute patties 4 minutes on each side, or until just cooked
through.
Transfer salmon burgers to buns and top with mayonnaise, onion, and
tomato.
Thought there was too much ginger - replaced with 1 garlic clove in
salmon mixture. Added honey (1/4 to 1/2 tsp.)to the mayonnaise to
sweeten it up - make it more like a teriyaki flavor. After modifying
a few things, it's worth making. Using pre-ground salmon makes it
less prone to fall apart.

1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 flour tortillas, warmed

Carefully rinse cactus pads; pat dry. Holding cactus pads with tongs,
use a small, sharp knife to carefully trim off eyes around edges and
on both sides of pads; discard. Cut cactus pads into thin strips (you
should have about 2 cups).
In a bowl beat eggs, milk, chili powder, salt, and black pepper with a
fork. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet. Cook over medium
heat, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on the bottom and
around the edge.
Using a spatula or large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked
eggs so the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over
medium heat about 5 minutes more or until eggs are cooked through,
but are still glossy and moist.
Remove from heat. If desired, serve with tortillas and salsa. Makes 6
servings.
Tip: Nopales, the fleshy, oval pads of the prickly pear cactus, are
showing up in many supermarkets. Cooked, they're soft but crunchy,
with the slipperiness of okra and flavor of green beans. The pads
have tiny, sharp thorns that usually are removed at the market. To
remove any thorns, carefully hold the pad and scrape with a paring
knife. Use the tip of a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove
the thorn bases and any blemishes.

Everybody gets a paper plate. On it, put one full tablespoon of canned
pumpkin and two heaping tablespoons of self-rising flour. (Don't use
pumpkin pie mix.) Mix the two together with your fingers. You can't
just dab at it. You have to grab it and squeeze it between your
fingers so that it is the same consistency all the way through. Your
dough should get to be the same slightly elastic consistency as
Playdo. If it's too sticky, add a little flour. If it's too crumbly,
add a little pumpkin. Take a piece of dough about the size of a
pingpong ball and flatten it out to a patty about a quarter of an
inch thick, like a fast food hamburger patty. Put into 1/2" to 3/4"
hot shortening in a frying pan. It should puff up slightly and float
to the top. When one side is golden brown, turn over and cook the
other side. Don't overcook or it will be hard. Drain on paper towels
and eat. I always do this with open cans of peach slices. Canned
peaches were a very big item with Seminoles at the trading posts. I
announce that I'm now going to demonstrate how to eat peaches
Seminole style, then I reach in the can and grab a slice with my
fingers. I encourage eveerybody else to try a slice that way. I also
encourage them to dip the pumpkin bread they made into the peach
juice. Because not everybody has their dough ready at the same time,
I only need to have two frying pans going for 20-30 people. The
session uses one can of shortening, one bag of self-rising flour, 4
or 5 cans of pumpkin, and 3 or 4 cans of peaches. If you use bigger
cans for the pumpkin or peaches, adjust quantity accordingly.
Amazingly, I never need more than a single roll of paper towels.

Masa: Place 10 pounds of masa in a large plastic mixing bowl. Mix 1/4
cup water with baking powder in a cup held over the bowl with the dry
masa until it fizzes, then pour mixture evenly over masa. Melt 4 cups
vegetable shortening in a large saucepan and allow to cool. Pour
evenly over masa and knead masa with hands. Add sugar, brown sugar,
drink concentrate and strawberry marmalade and work masa with a hand
blender to mix evenly. When it starts to feel thick and compact (like
fudge) it's ready. Pat down in bowl and set aside.
To assemble the tamales, soak dried corn husks in warm water for
about an hour until soft. Spread masa mixture evenly onto husk using
a wooden spoon. Fill with a few strawberry slices and fold corn husk.
Fold waxed paper around the tamale. Steam for 1 1/2 hours. To steam:
To make a steamer, place a metal rack (such as a cooling rack) in the
bottom of a large stock pot or canner. Water level should be below
the rack. Lay extra corn husks over rack. Stand the tamales on the
folded edge in the steamer (the open edge with be facing upward).
First fill the bottom of the steamer, then start stacking tamales on
top of one another. Place any extra husks on top of tamales, cover
with pot lid and steam for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Replenish boiling water,
if necessary, during steaming time. The tamales are done when the
husk peels away easily from the filling.
Yield: 4 servings
Page 51
1 tamale dough
3/4 cup strained blackberry puree
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup or molasses
1 cup blue corn masa harina
2 tablespoon softened butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
8 big dry husks, or
10 inch aliminum foil squares
1 filling:
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or
1 black walnuts
2 tablespoon maple candy rolled into
1 crumbs or
2 tablespoon almond paste
1 topping:
3/4 cup sour cream, do not use
1 yoghurt
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cup fresh blackberries
1 destemmed and washed
2 tablespoon sugar
Try to get blue corn masa harina for this; white or yellow will do,
but blue looks prettier. Don't use ordinary corn meal; masa harina is
treated with lime water and cooks differently. If you have dried corn
husks, you can steam the tamales in them, otherwise use aluminum foil.
Roll and pat dough into 8 squares on the foil or husks, leaving
1-inch edge margin at the sides and slightly more at the ends (to tie
up or twist-flod closed). Use about 4 TBS per tamale. The dough
should be about 1/2 inch thick or less. Now lay out a row of filling
along the long center of the tamale (parallel to long sides of husk
if used). Fold up each edge around it to meet in the middle -- a fat
rectangle, rather than a roll -- and press edges of tamale closed at
ends and top. Fold up and tie husk ends (if using),or fold up and
seal shut foil. Steam tamales for 10 minutes in a steamer or wok.
While steaming, whip cream, starting with whipping cream and adding
sour cream, form soft peaks, add sugar and flavorings. Remove
tamales, cool slightly, open them up and put on big serving plates.
Pour a little juice from berries (if some has formed) over each
tamale, top with some berries (1/4 cup each) and the cream, saving a
few berries to garnish each dish.
Page 52
If you can find blue corn masa harina, these tamales will be a very
interesting purple color from the corn and berries. It's prettier if
you use maple syrup, not molasses. Note that you can use several
other kinds of fillings: blackberry jam mixed with nuts, just nuts
with sugar (but it tends to fall apart), nuts with some sugar and egg
to hold it together, etc. You can also use a different kind of jam or
jelly (strawberry, raspberry) with the nuts for a red color when the
tamale is broken open. In my opinion, using jam or jelly makes it too
sweet and overpowers the corn/blackberry flavors. You can also use
raspberries instead of blackberries, but they are more sour, so use
jam or jelly with the nuts, and don't use blue corn masa, use white
or yellow corn masa, so the tamale will be pink.

rounds. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Great served
with salsa and green chile! A viewer, who may not be a professional
cook, provided this recipe. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe
and therefore, we cannot make representation as to the results.
Combine the flour, dry milk solids, baking powder and salt, and sift
them into a deep bowl. Add the lard bits and, with your fingertips,
rub the flour and fat together until the mixture resembles flakes of
coarse meal. Pour in the water and toss the ingredients together
until the dough can be gathered into a ball. Drape the bowl with a
kitchen towel and then let the dough sit at room temperature for
about 2 hours.
After sitting, tear the dough into 6 equal pieces. Then, on a lightly
floured surface, roll each dough ball into a circle about 4 inches in
diameter and 1/4-inch thick. With a small knife, cut 2 (4 to 5-inch)
long parallel slits completely through the dough, down the center of
each rolled piece, spacing the slits about 1-inch apart. In a heavy,
10-inch cast iron skillet, melt the remaining pound of lard over
moderate heat until it is very hot but not smoking. The melted fat
should be about 1-inch deep, add more lard if necessary. Fry the
rolled dough, 1 at a time, for about 2 minutes on each side, turning
them once with tongs. The bread will puff slightly and become crisp
and brown. Drain the Navajo fry bread on paper towels and serve warm.

Thank you Snowa for this recipe and the others you provided me.
1. Baking Powder Version of Frybread
you can get fluffy frybread, and you can control how fluffy you want it by
how much baking powder you add and how long you let it sit.
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Add water a little bit at a time until you
get a solid ball of soft dough. Cover and let rest for 30 -60 minutes if
you have time. The longer you let it sit the more elastic it will be, but
cover it up with saran wrap so it won't dry out. Heat up your oil. Pinch
off a piece of dough - tennis ball size for big fry bread or golf ball size
for small bread. Stretch it out into a circle. Place it in the hot oil. It
will float up and when the bottom is brown flip it over. When both sides
are brown take it out.
FYI if you add a little cooking oil to your dough when mixing and on your
hands it does a couple of things:
1. Keeps flour from falling off your frybread and falling to the bottom and
burning-you will have to change your grease more often.
FYI: You can add sugar to the recipe to change the taste of it.
FYI: You can add powdered commodity milk if you want. Kinda makes it more
golden when you cook it and adds some more taste.
FYI: You can either pat it out into circles, or you can roll it out into
circles with a glass, or you can roll in out into one huge piece

and cheese or whatever you want in them and pinch the edges shut like
you do a pie crust then fry them in hot oil If you are making Indian
tacos you will need to make the dough way thinner than when making
Abubu since you can only fry the outside of the Indian taco and if it
is too thick it will taste doughy

ACORN FLOUR
1 text file
Lee Peterson, Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Although a few white
oaks have acorns sweet enough to be eaten raw or roasted, most oaks
have extremely bitter acorns. Happily, the bitterness is due to an
abundance of tannin which is readily soluble in water. Whole kernels,
stripped of their shells and boiled in repeated changes of water
until the water no longer turns brown, can be roasted and eaten as
nuts or dipped in sugar syrup and eaten as candy. Dried and crushed
acorns can be placed in porous bags and put through same boiling
process to remove the tannin. They can then be redried, ground into
meal, and used to make excellent breads and muffins. Rich in protein
and fat.

Combine dry ingredients. Mix together egg and milk, then beat into
dry ingredients, forming a smooth batter. Add butter. Drop batter
onto hot, greased griddle. Bake, turning each cake when it is
browned on underside and puffed and slightly set on top.
ACORN MEAL
1 acorns
1 water
Make meal by grinding dry, raw acorn kernels (after shelling). Mix
with boiling water and press out liquid through a cheesecloth. With
very bitter acorns, repeat this process several times. Spread meal
on a tray and thoroughly dry in oven at 250F.
This meal will cake during the drying process. Regrind using a food
chopper. Then, seal in containers, preferably glass jars.
Note: All acorns contain tannic acid or tannin. This is what causes
the bitter taste, the same as the soft brown lining in pecans that we
have all tasted if we have cracked open pecans and eaten them raw.
The white oak family has less tannin than the black oak family. THe
white oak family acorns I have tried are White Oak, Burr Oak, and
Club Oak. There are many varieties. White oaks have rounded leaves.
Black oaks have pointed leaves. Squirrels go for white oak acorns
first. They're not dumb. They don't like the tannin either. Black
oak acorns will make you pucker up just like eating unripe persimmons.

ACORN MUFFINS
Here are some modern bread recipes using some of our native nuts and
beans. We also prepare them the old way for special occasions.
Mix well and put into small greased baking dish
Bake at 350 for 20 - 30 minutes
ACORN PEMMICAN:
Boil the lean stewing meat. When it is tender, drain and allow it to dry in
a bowl. Grind all of the ingredients together in a meat grinder using a
fine blade. Grind again, mixing finely, distributing the ingredients very
well. Place in a covered dish and refrigerate overnight. (Or you can eat
right away, but like many foods, the refrigerating allows the flavors to
blend nicely.) You can serve this on any flatbread, such as a tortilla. It
is best served warm, or you can reheat it in the pan in the oven like a
meatloaf.
Acorn meal can also be used in place of a good portion (or all) of the nuts
in most desserts, from brownies to cookies. It does depend on the variety
of acorn you have available and the taste after leaching. Some acorn meal
never gets “nutty,” only mild, while the meal of other acorns, such as
those of the Emory oak, are so sweet that you can eat them without
leaching, or with very little leaching.
You will have to experiment a bit here. But the end results are usually
surprising.

APACHE DUMPLINGS
These wonderful creations are stuffed with ground beef, green chilies,
onions and seasonings. The ratio for the filling is simple:
60% cooked, drained ground beef 20% cooked sm.diced/chopped onion 20%
green chilies diced canned and seasonings
Gently cook onion until just translucent(do not brown) Add/cook ground
beef, green chilies and two pinches of cumin. On med-low heat add
garlic (DO NOT BURN THE GARLIC!) let the garlic become slightly
areomatic. Season w/ salt and pepper, take off heat and set to the
side, let cool, so that you can work with your clean hands.
Take your already made Frybread dough and make small pieces about the
size of a tennis ball and roll out flat. Spoon your cooled meat
mixture diagonlly across the rolled out dough. Dont roll to thin or
too thick about a quarter inch. Fold the dough over the meat mix like
a taco and seal with fingertips. It should resemble a sharp football
shaped stuffed dumpling. Repeat technique untill you run out of dough
and meat mixture. Place the dumplings in just enough water or stock
to cover by one inch. Add a couple pinches of salt to the water to
your liking. not too salty. Simmer the Apache Footballs for about 30
to 45 minutes. Some of them will break open, thats ok it will add to
your broth. Try to keep them intact.(I like to break a couple open if
I have made alot of dumplings, it makes the broth very tasty.) Do not
boil. Let simmer untill the dough is cooked and the insides are very
hot. Serve piping hot to your loved ones.
I hope they turn out good for you. It takes practice, but when you
get all the seasonings the way you like it, you can teach your
children and family how to make "Apache Footballs". PEACE!

AREPAS
1 teaspoon salt
1 cur of pre-cooked white corn
1 flour (harina pan)
1 1/4 cup warm water
I friend once told me that it is possible to make your own Harina Pan,
using corn meal and cooking it in the microwave with some water, but
the amount of water and the time, vary and you have to experiment.
(This guy has a doctorate in Food Technology, so I guess that he nows
what he was talking about), but I have never tried to do it. In the
US Northwest, you can get the corn-flour at big grocery stores, or at
Latin stores (there are only 2 of those here in Seattle). GOYA
products carries it. Just look in the Ethnic food aisle. In the
other areas of the US, shouldn't be a problem to find it, since they
usually have a larger population of latinos.
Once you have the flour, the very basic recipe is Harina-Pan, water,
and salt.
Put the corn flour in a bowl and add the salted water little by
little, mixing with the flour until all the water has been used and
the flour has become a dough. Let it rest for five minutes. [this is
very important since the dough will absorb a lot of water, if after
the resting time the dough feels a little hard or dry, add some more
water, knead and let it rest again]
Now, shape the dough into round rolls about 3 inches in diameter and
1/2 inch thick. In a lightly greased skillet, slowly cook the arepas
until a crust forms on each side. Now place them into a casserole and
bake in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes, until
the arepas sound hollow when tapped.

To make the gnocchi, peel and boil the potatoes in 2 quarts water
until soft and cooked through.
In a food processor, combine the potatoes and goat cheese and process
until lump free, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and process another
minute. The mixture should resemble putty.
Stir the flour and blue cornmeal toghether. Pour the potato mixture
into a bowl and add 2 cups of the flour-cornmeal mixture. Mix
together thoroughly to form the dough.
With your hands, shape the dough on a board into a long rooll 2
inches in diameter. With a knife cut the dough into slices 1 inch
thick. Flour another board and roll each 1 inch piece into a thin
strip about 1/2 inch wide and 16 inches long. Flatten the stips,
with your hands to about 1 inch wide, and cut the dough with a knife
into arrowheads, or any other shape you desire. Set aside.
To make the Guajillo Chile Sauce, put the chiles, pumpkin seeds, salt
and pepper in a food processor and process for 1 minute. Add the
water, in small amounts, until completely blended, about 4 minutes.
Press the mixture through a fine sieve and discard the pulp.
Once the gnocchi have risen to the top, remove them from the boiling
water with a slotted spoon.

The name signifies 'under the ashes cooked,' and is applied to bread
baked in the embers, or on flat stones placed over the fire. As
reported in Samuel de Champlain's, 'Voyages of Samuel de Champlain'
Prince Society ed., (Boston 1878-1882), this seems to have been
formerly in much favour. Its disuse is probably owing to the
abandonment of the open fireplace and to the general adoption of
European foods.
The mixture used was practically the same as for boiled bread. About
three-quarters of an hour was required for cooking. As the loaves
baked somewhat more quickly on top, they were turned over to be evenly
done. To tell when they were finished, the cakes were tapped with the
finger. If not sufficiently cooked, they felt heavy to the touch and,
when done, felt lighter and more spongy. The last part of the
operation was to wash them in cold water to free them from ashes or
cinders, as was reported by Peter John (Onondaga) and his wife
(Mohawk). The Senecas are said to have omitted the beans or berries.
On the other hand, several informants at Grand River, Ontario, state
specifically that beans, berries, and sometimes maple sugar were
included in the baked corn bread mixture. James Adair, in 'History of
the American Indians' (London, 1775), remarks about the use of a
similar food among the Choctaw and Chickasaw. Mrs. John Williams
(Mohawk) of Caughnawaga states that red beans used to be mixed with
the paste for baked corn bread, and the whole covered with cabbage
leaves or corn husks. Boiled bread is the only kind made there now.
Peter John (Onondaga), Grand River, Ontario, relates that some fifty
or sixty years ago a fire was frequently made in the open field, while
they were harvesting or husking corn, and bread baked in the ashes in
the old-fashioned manner. A single cake of this bread was said, by
John Echo (Onondaga), to have formerly been placed in the coffin with
a corpse. According to Peter Atkins (Mohawk) and others of Grand
River, Ontario, besides the food which is set aside for the dead at
wakes and which they are supposed to require for their own
consumption, a little is sometimes put into the hand. This is to be
thrown to a savage cat and dog which guard a bridge over which the
dead have to pass. While the animals are devouring the food the dead
person slips over in safety.

BANNOCK
info
It's roots lie in Scotland where bannock was generally made with
oatmeal. Barley bannocks were made on the island of Stornoway and the
Irish made their bannock using buttermilk and baking soda rather than
water and baking powder. A similar bread is made in the Australian
Outback where it is known as damper.
Centuries ago bannocks were unleavened cakes but now they are a raised
bread using baking powder.
My nephew Melvin is the best bannock maker in our family. This is how
he makes it. He is a Chipewyan, which is one of the Dene First Nations
and his style is typical of how we make it in northern Canada.
Page 111
BANNOCK RECIPE
4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons oil
add enough water to achieve a bread; dough consistency
You can replace a portion of the white flour with an equivalent amount of
whole grain flour of choice, and include some dried fruit of choice, wheat
germ, bran, and nuts of choice. The bannock can also be seasoned with brown
sugar and cinnamon.
Mix ingredients well and knead for approximately ten minutes. Grease and
heat a fry pan. Form the dough into cakes about 1/2 inch thick and dust
lightly with flour. Lay the bannock cakes in the frying pan and hold them
over the heat. Shake the pan at intervals to prevent the bannock from
sticking to the pan. Once a bottom crust has formed and the dough has
hardened enough to hold together, you can turn the bannock cakes.
Cooking takes 12-15 minutes. Test whether or not the bannock is ready by
inserting a clean toothpick or sliver into the loaf. If it comes out clean,
the bannock is ready to eat.
If you don't have a fry pan you can make a thicker dough by adding less
water. Roll the dough into a long ribbon, no wider than an inch. Wind this
around a preheated green hardwood stick and cook over a fire, turning
occasionally, until the bannock is cooked.

water, at room temperature
Bannock is a Native Indian fry bread. Simple and quick to make. This recipe
comes from a magazine article. The woman who taught the author of the
article to make bannock said that 'rich Indians add raisins to their
bannock'.
1. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
2. Mix with enough water so that the mixture becomes a dough.
3. Form into 4-6 large, thick patties.
4. Fry on lightly oiled frying pan, turning when the bottom is golden.
5. (You may also bake in the oven.) Good served warm.
6. If desired, spread with honey, jam, butter, or peanut butter.
7. Traditionally bannock would have been made with whatever ingredients
were on hand.
8. For example, adding blueberries if they're in season.
'Kenny Blacksmith, a former chief of the Cree community of Mistissini of
northern Quebec, told me that they learned to make bannock from the
Scottish who settled up in Northern Quebec several hundred years ago. They
did not have flour before the arrival of the Europeans. When he went to
Scotland a couple of years back, he had the priviledge of teaching the
Scottish again how to make bannock.' - Jacques Dalton Dec 15, 2005

Arepas are simple corn cakes first made by the Indians of Colombia and
Venezuela. They were an important part of their diet, like corn
tortillas were to the Aztecs.
Originally, arepas were made from dried corn kernels that were soaked
overnight in water and lime to remove the skins, then cooked, drained
and ground into masa (dough). Thanks to modern technology, a pre-
cooked harina de masa is now available at most Latin American markets.
An instant masa can be made by simply mixing this corn flour (either
white or yellow) with a little salt and enough boiling water to make a
stiff dough.
The dough is then shaped into flat round cakes of varying thicknesses,
depending on the intended use, and cooked on a griddle or deep-fried.
In parts of Colombia, arepas are cooked atop a flagstone slab that is
first heated and then brushed with fat. Another Colombian specialty ~-
arepas de chocolo -- are made from fresh corn and cooked on top of
banana leaves.
The versatile arepa indeed proves that umpretentious food can be not
only satisfying but also delicious.
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add water, stir with a
wooden spoon to make a soft dough. Let stand for 5 minutes, then knead
for 3 minutes. Dough is ready to be shaped into standard arepas, or to
be mixed and kneaded with other ingredients such as cheese,
chicharrones (pork rind), etc.
To cook arepas: Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium heat;
grease lightly and cook arepas on both sides, turning a couple of
times until a crust is formed. Colombian arepas are ready to be served
at this point, spread with butter. Venezuelan arepas have to be baked
in a preheated 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. To check for doneness,
tap the arepa lightly ~- if a hollow sound is heard, it's ready. Split
open, add butter and serve hot.

knead for 3 minutes. Dough is ready to be shaped into standard
arepas, or to be mixed and kneaded with other ingredients such as
cheese, chicharrones (pork rind), etc.
To cook arepas: Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium heat;
grease lightly and cook arepas on both sides, turning a couple of
times until a crust is formed. Colombian arepas are ready to be
served at this point, spread with butter. Venezuelan arepas have to
be baked in a preheate 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. To check for
doneness, tap the arepa lightly ~- if a hollow sound is heard, it's
ready. Split open, add butter and serve hot.

3 tsp. baking powder
1 cup water
version #2
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. baking powder
1 1/2 cup water
1 tbs. shortening (cut in)
Using the ingredients from either version above, mix ingredients and let
sit
for 10-15 minutes. Break off a ball of dough about golf ball size and pat
out no thicker than 1/4 inch. (In some tribal traditions a hole is always
made
in the center which has spiritual significance). Fry in deep hot oil to a
light golden brown, turn once to brown both sides. (Oil is hot enough if a
small
test piece of dough dropped in the oil begins cooking almost immediately
and
rises to the top.) Drain bread well and pat with paper towel to remove
excess oil. Keep covered in a bowl while cooking to keep bread warm.
Serving - Usually eaten like bread with soup, stew or posole
Variations - Eat with honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon.

(goat's milk or buttermilk are very good in this, don't heat the buttermilk
though, unless you made it yourself)
Preheat a skillet and oil well.
Pour liquids into the dry ingredients. Mix well. If the mixture is too
dry (it should be a pourable batter) add more water or milk.
Pour into the heated skillet and brown on one side, turn over and brown on
the other side. Serve hot with favorite topping (corn cob jelly is great
on this with fresh butter!).
You can vary this easily by adding things like chopped green onions (or
wild onions), raisins or other dried fruit, chopped ripe or green tomato,
garlic stalks, fresh berries, etc. The possibilities are pretty well
endless. I've added leftover cooked sausage before as well.

BEAN BREAD
Directions:
Boil beans in unsalted water until tender. Drain the beans and mash them.
Put cornmeal, flour and soda in large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add mashed
beans to cornmeal mixture, along with some of the juice to the
cornmeal/flour mixture to form a stiff dough. The secret to a successful
batch of bean bread is knowing just how much liquid to use. Scoop up dough
with a spoon and shape into 3-4 inch balls. Then drop into a pot of boiling
water, let boil for 25-30 minutes. This should make about 5 dozen bread
balls.
BEAN BREAD
1 cup of cornmeal
1/2 cup flour

Mix all of these ingredients, except beans, thoroughly, and then fold in
the beans. Pour into greased, heated pan. Bake at 450 until brown (usually
30 minutes or so)

This pueblo bread originated in the Rio Grande area of New Mexico and has
always been made in the shape of a bear's paw. It is crusty, easy to make,
delicious to eat, and most impressive in appearance! This recipe an easily
be halved; it can also be frozen, well wrapped, for up to three months.
Place the 2 cups of hot water, shortening, honey, and salt in a large
bowl; stir to melt shortening. Dissolve yeast in the warm water in a small
bowl.
When liquid in the large bowl has cooled to room temperature, stir in the
yeast mixture.
Add flour 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. After 8 cups
have been added to the dough, place the remaining 2 cups on a board and
turn out dough over flour. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, 10 to 15
minutes.
Place dough in a lightly greased very large bowl, turning to grease top of
dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise about 1 1/2 hours, or until
doubled in bulk. Turn out on a floured board and knead again for about 3
minutes.
Preheat oven to 350° and place a shallow pan of hot water in the center of
bottom rack of the oven. Place loaves on the top rack. Bake about 1 hour,
or until lightly browned and bread sounds hollow when tapped.
2. Drain the pozole corn. Place each color of corn in a separate medium
saucepan and add enough water to each to cover. Add 2 tablespoons baking
soda to each pot. Bring both to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for
about 2 hours, or until tender, adding more water as needed and skimming
foam from the surface. Drain off the cooking water and rinse the corn.
3. While the pozole is cooking, soak the dried chiles in hot water. When
soft, remove the seeds and dice.
4. In a separate stock pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic,
salt, pepper, oregano, cumin and coriander and cook until the onions are
translucent.
5. Add the tomatoes, tomatillos, diced chiles, vegetable stock and cooked
pozole corn. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer about 1 1/2 hours.
The stew is done when the corn is cooked through.
6. Add the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste.
7. Spoon the pozole into bowls and garnish with queso fresco, toasted
pumpkin seeds and the remaining cilantro.

Fried bread, native fast food, is one of the most popular and
widespread of native foods served at pow wows, Indian cowboy rodeos,
festivals and family ggatherings. There are two basic recipes: one
is a yeast-leavened bread dough, and the other is a quicker baking
powder version. Fry bread is served with honey or powered sugar,
chokecherry and saskatoonberry gravy or sauce. Sometimes fresh
sasktoons are mixed into the raw dough. American natives in the south
are known to chop onions and chilies into the dough.
A basket of fried bread and bannock placed in the middle of the dinner
table at the Pitaa Native Dinner Show quickly disappears. Enjoy!

Few things are as delicious as a warm, freshly made blue corncob bread
especially on a cold fall day when served with a bowl of soup or stew. But
these are just as good for breakfast with jams or jellies. You can purchase
cornstick pans in many specialty cooking stores, or you can use a round
cast-iron skillet or round cake pan.

large mixing bowl. Combine eggs and buttermilk in separate bowl. Gradually
stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and mix well. Add melted butter,
and gently stir again. Do not overstir mixture. Spoon batter into prepared
pan or pans.
This sweet corn bread is best served warm. If you can't find blue cornmeal,
don't worry: Yellow cornmeal works well, too.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk flour,

1 apricot-pinon compote
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 cup chopped fresh or dried
1 apricots
1 to 2 tablespoons light corn
1 syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground mexican cinnamon
1 (canela)
1 drop pure almond extract
1 cup water
1 pancakes:
1 1/4 cup pine nuts
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose
1 flour
1/2 cup blue or other cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
2 drop pure almond extract
1 vegetable oil, for pan
1 frying
Prepare the compote: Warm the butter in a small skillet over medium
heat. Stir in the pine nuts and saute until lightly toasted, about 2
minutes. Watch the nuts carefully; they will continue cooking off of
the heat and can burn easily. In a saucepan, combine the apricots,
corn syrup, cinnamon, and almond extract with 1 cup of water. Bring
to a simmer over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and cook until
the sauce is fairly thick and spoonable, about 10 minutes. Stir in
the pine nuts. Keep the compote warm or let it cool to room
temperature.
Start the pancake batter, placing 3/4 cup of the nuts in a food
processor and pulsing briefly until ground. Avoid processing the nuts
so long that they turn to butter. Add the flour, cornmeal, sugar,
baking powder, and salt and pulse to combine just until a coarse meal
forms. Spoon the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the butter
until it disappears. Add the eggs, milk, almond extract, and
remaining nuts. Warm a griddle or a large heavy skillet over medium
heat. Pour a thin film of oil onto the griddle. Pour or spoon out the
batter onto the hot griddle, where it should sizzle and hiss. A
generous 3 tablespoons of batter will make a 4-inch pancake. Make as
many cakes as you can fit without crowding. Cook the pancakes until
their top surface is covered in tiny bubbles but before all the
bubbles pop, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the
second side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with the
remaining batter, adding a bit more oil to the griddle as needed.
Serve the pancakes immediately, accompanied with the warm compote.

and pounded to a meal or flour. As the pounding progresses the fine
sifting basket is frequently brought into requisition. The hand is
used to dip the meal out of the mortar into the sifter. The large
bread pan is often set on top of the mortar and the sifter shaken in
both hands. The coarser particles are thrown into a second bowl or
tray and are finally dumped back into the mortar to be repounded. A
hollow is next made in the flour and enough boiling water poured into
it to make a stiff paste. Usage differs somewhat in this respect,
cold water being used by some for mixing. The stirring paddle is
often employed at first, after which the paste is kneaded with the
hands. Dried huckleberries, blackberries, elderberries, strawberries,
or beans may be incorporated in the mixture, beans apparently
enjoying the greatest favour. The latter are previously cooked just
so that they will remain whole or nearly so. Currants or raisins are
sometimes used at present. Formerly the kernels of walnuts and
butternuts were employed in the same way. A lump of paste is next
broken off, or about a double handful. This is tossed in the hands,
which are kept moistened with cold water, until it becomes rounded in
form; the surplus material forms a core at one side, usually the
right, and is finally broken off. The lump is now slapped back and
forth between the palms, though resting rather more on the left hand;
and is at the same time given a rotary motion until a disk is formed
about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 inches thick and about 7 inches in diameter.
Boiling water for mixing is stated to make the cakes firmer and
better to handle. No salt* nor other such ingredients are used. The
loaves are immediately slid into a pot of boiling water from the
paddle or from between the hands and are supported on edge by placing
the paddle against them until all are in. The bread paddle, or
sometimes a special circular turning paddle, is used to rotate the
cakes a little when partly done, so as to cook all parts alike. An
hour is usually required for cooking, though the completion of the
operation is indicated when the cakes show a tendency to float, or
when the steam is given out equally all over when a cake is lifted
out. The bread paddle is also employed in removing the bread from the
pot. When a batch is too large for the pot, some of the cakes are
boiled for five or six minutes, then removed and baked in a pan in
the oven. Boiled corn bread, while not light in the ordinary sense,
is decidedly tasty when newly made. It may be sliced and eaten
either hot or cold with butter, gravy or maple syrup. An Oneidatown
informant states that it is often sliced and fried in butter as we
fry cornmeal or oatmeal mush. In his book, "Moeurs des Sauvages
Ameriquains" (Paris, 1724) Volume II, p. 94, Jos. Francois Lafitau
remarks of corn bread that "... nothing is heavier or more insipid;
it is a mass of flour kneaded without regard to cleanliness, without
Page 162
either leaven or salt. They cover it with corn leaves and cook it in
the ashes or in the kettle. They often, also, add oil, grease, beans
and fruits. It is then still more disagreeable." He admits, however,
that it is best when freshly cooked. The boiling of the corn in
ashes, in bread-making, was sometimes omitted. A kettleful of water
was brought to the boiling point, according to an informant, Mrs.
Peter John, a Mohawk woman married to an Onondaga man. The ripe corn
was added and boiled until softened a little. It was then drained in
the washing basket, allowed to dry slightly, then pounded, sifted,
and made into flour. This kind of flour is called ganehana`-we'di`. A
similar omission is found in the Huron process of bread-making as
recorded by Sagard-Theodat in his book, "Le Grand Voyage du Pays des
Hurons," Tross ed., (Paris, 1865). Loaves of corn bread were
frequently carried along while travelling, though parched corn flour
sweetened with maple syrup was a more popular material. The use of
corn bread for this purpose is indicted in the word "johnny-cake"
from "journey-cake." The ash-cake, hoe-cake, and pone are other
European adoptions. * Salt was evidently adopted principally during
the later historical period. In "History of the Mission of the
United Brethren Among the Indians in North America" (London, 1794),
pt 1, p. 65, translated by La Trobe, G. H. Loskiel describes the
Iroquois attitude towards salt by stating that "... neither the
Iroquois, Delaware, nor any in connexion with them, eat their meat
raw, but frequently without salt, though they have it in abundance."
The fact that several old-time foods, such as corn bread, corn and
bean soup, etc. are made without salt would also indicate that the
usage is modern. Source: Iroquois Foods and Food Preparation, by F.

This lively bread has corn and the added kick of jalapeño chilies. It's a
great bread to accompany any Southwest-style meal.
1.
Measure carefully, placing all ingredients in bread machine pan in the
order
recommended by the manufacturer.
2.
Select Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Do not use delay
cycle. Remove baked bread from pan, and cool on wire rack.
Success
If your bread machine has a 2-pound vertical pan, the loaf will be short
but
still will have good texture and flavor. If your bread machine has a
horizontal
pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread.
We also found that we didn't have good results in bread machines with
glass-dome
lids.

This is a dish that I came up with. I do not measure spices so I can really
say how much of each one. I just sprinkle them to cover the browning meat.
So here we go :-)
Pre-heat oven to 350*
Put meat & onion in skillet to brown lightly. Onion will add moisture to
the lean meat since the fat content is low in bison. As it browns add the
desired amounts of the spices so it cooks in well. DO NOT OVER COOK!!
Just before browning is complete, add Rotel, corn & beans. Then simmer
while preparing the corn bread.
Mix corn bread, eggs, milk & syrup.
Put cooked meat mixture into lg. glass/corning ware baking pan.( 10X12 or
9X13 )
Add cornbread mixture to the top.
Bake at 350* for approx. 20 min or until cornbread is done.

1 cup acorn flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tbl baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
3 tbl Sugar
1 pc egg; beaten
1 cup milk
1 tbl oil
Mix together, acorn meal, white flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In
separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, and oil. Combine dry ingredients and
liquid ingredients. Stir just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Pour into
a greased pan and bake at 400F. for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Acorn flour purchased at any Korean Store.
1. Soften the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl. Then mix in the
melted lard or shortening and the salt. 2. Add the flour alternately with
the water, sifting the flour a little at a time and beating well after each
addition to make a smooth mixture. You will probably have to knead in the
final cup of flour. 3. Shape the dough into a ball, and place in a greased
bowl, brush lightly with melted lard or shortening, cover with a dry cloth,
and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour. 4. When the dough has
doubled in bulk, punch down, turn onto a floured board, and knead for about
5 minutes. Divide into two equal parts and shape into two round loaves on
a well-oiled board or greased baking tin. 5. Cover the loaves with a dry
cloth, set in a warm place and let rise for 15 minutes. 6. Bake the bread
in a hot oven, 400F, for 50 minutes or until the loaves are lightly browned
and sound hollow when thumped. Cool, cut into wedges before serving.

Pizzas can also be made on the grill or an outdoor oven like a horno oven.
Make pizza dough:
In a large bowl stir together water and yeast and let stand until foamy,
about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and salt and blend until mixture forms a
dough, adding additional tablespoon water if too dry. On a lightly floured
surface knead dough about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
(Alternatively, dough may be made in a standing electric mixer. In bowl of
mixer make dough as described above. With dough hook knead dough about 5
minutes, or until smooth and elastic.)
Put dough in a very lightly oiled deep bowl, turning to coat, and let rise,
covered loosely, in a warm place 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
Punch down dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Dough keeps, each piece
put
in a small, sealable plastic bag and sealed, pressing out excess air,
chilled overnight or frozen 2 weeks. If dough is frozen, thaw overnight in
refrigerator before using. Makes enough dough for four 12- by 6-inch oval
pizzas.
In a bowl toss squash with oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread squash
in one layer in a shallow baking pan and roast in middle of oven, stirring
once halfway through roasting, 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove
pan from oven and loosen squash with a metal spatula. Squash may be roasted
1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
In a medium heavy saucepan stir together milk and flour and bring to a
simmer over moderate heat, stirring constantly. Simmer sauce, stirring, 2
minutes and stir in nutmeg and salt to taste. Sauce may be made 1 day ahead
and chilled, covered. Increase temperature to 500°F.
Spread sauce on dough ovals, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge of each
pizza, and sprinkle with Parmesan, squash, hopped sage, garlic, and pepper.
Bake pizzas in lower and middle thirds of oven 15 minutes, or until crusts
are crisp and pale golden. Garnish pizzas with sage sprigs.

CACTUS STEW
Use a sharp paring knife to slice off the spine nodes. Trim around the edge
of the paddle where the spines are closer together. It is not necessary to
peel the cactus, only to remove the nodes and spines on both sides. Trim
off
the blunt end where the paddle was cut from the plant. Cut the paddle into
1/4' strips about 2' long.
Bring 4 quarts water with 1 tablespoon salt, the onion, garlic, cilantro
and
tomatillo husks to a boil; drop in the cactus strips. (Tomatillo husks help
retain the bright green color of the cactus.) Blanch the cactus until just
crisp tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain strips in a colander and rinse
with cool water.
Place the meat in a pot with 3 cups of water. Simmer, covered, until the
water is just about gone. Drain off the fat. To the drained meat, add
minced
garlic, the red chile sauce and spices. Simmer about 30 minutes. Taste and
adjust salt as needed, then stir in the drained nopalitos. Simmer for 20
minutes. Blend the masa harina and water to make a paste; whisk it into the
stew for a thickener. Simmer 5 minutes longer, then stir in the cilantro.
If
you like a spicy stew, add the japones chile. Serve in bowls accompanied by
warm tortillas.

CARROT BREAD
1 x no ingredients
Use fine corn meal that has been ground at the grist mill. Sieve the meal,
add wood ash lye to the meal until it begins to turn a little yellow.
Boil carrots in plain water until tender. Pour boiling carrots and some of
the soup into the corn meal and stir until mixed. Have a pot of plain water
on the fire boiling. If you want dumplings, just make mixture out into
balls and cook in the pot of plain water uncovered until done.
Refer to the first bean bread recipe for instructions on making broadswords
as another option.
*Corn meal ground at a grist mill was probably not quite as fine as the
corn meal available in grocery stores today. To gain authenticity in this
recipe, try mixing 1 part hominy grits with 3 parts corn meal.
By: zhinka
mix and let rest for half hour for the dough to relax, pull in to desired
size and put on hot rock which has been pulled from the firepit (fire safe
rock such as granate) if the rock is hot enough to have a layer of fine
stone embers on it the bread wont stick, Dont use oil on the rock, if you
worry about sticking use a dusting of cornmeal,but usually if the rock is
hot enought nothing will stick to it,bake until desired brown color is
reached drizzle with wild honey ,eat while hot
there ya go , yummy stuff! We call it mandan bread but I think its pretty
much a plains staple bread as I know a few lakota friends that make it too.
I make it alot for the urban peeps we take out riding on our ranch in the
badlands of North Dakota and everyone always comes back for seconds, if
wild ducks are done with the laying season, substitute one chicken egg plus
one extra yolk for a duck egg,or use a tame duck egg I usually use eggs
Page 193
from my tame mallards (aka rouens)that lay all year round because im too
lazy to search out duck nests lol
Mix dry ingredients, then add milk and oil. Mix only until moistened.
Heat griddle or pan until water drops sizzle. Pour batter on the hot
griddle. Turn pancakes when they are full of bubbles, just before
they break. Serve hot. Makes 10 four inch pancakes. Cattail roots are
gathered during any time of the year but they are best when gathered
from late fall through early spring when the starch is concentrated
in the roots. After spring, the roots slowly shrink, harden and
become almost ropelike. Be careful not to use roots out of chemically
polluted water. Cattail roots are excellent for providing starch in
the diet. Some claim that cattails roots equal the potatoes in
carbohydrates and rice or corn in protein. To process the starch out
of the roots, the roots can be peeled of left alone and crushed in
cold water. Pour the liquid through a sieve to help separate the
fiber from the liquid. Allow to set for a while to allow the white
starch to settle to the bottom. Next pour the clear surface liquid
off. Add new water, stir and repeat the process several times until
all the fibre and particles are removed. After the final pouring off
of the liquid, the starch can be used wet as flour thickener or dried
in the sun and stored. Most like to mix cattail starch/flour with an
equal mixture of wheat flour when baking. From: Jakers6135@cs.Com

Chili refers to the stew while chile is a pepper. Most chilies have
chiles as an ingredient. And here's another word to add to your
vocabulary: pozole. Pozole [poh-SOH-leh] is a traditional Mexican stew
(and also the Spanish word for hominy). Pozole includes hominy-dried
corn that''s been soaked in slaked lime until its skin comes off,
causing the kernels to swell. Hominy is excellent in stews, and is sold
in cans at your grocer.
Pozole is typically made with a flavorful chile sauce. Commercial brands
tend to be full of preservatives and salt, so make your own using dried
chiles. But don't get freaked out - the chiles are easy to find and the
sauce is quick to prepare. Make it ahead and chill it until you're ready
to make the pozole. It's also great on enchiladas.
This chili, like most, is better the second day. If you're planning to
make it ahead, put off adding the lettuce until right before serving.
Garnish Chili with:
Avocado Salad

Here's an easy winter warm-me-up meal. The flavorful corn dumplings cook
right on top of the simmering chili.
1.
Cook beef and onion in Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally,
until beef is brown; drain. Reserve 1/2 cup of the corn. Stir remaining
corn
with liquid, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder and pepper sauce into
beef
mixture. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
2.
Mix Bisquick mix and cornmeal. Stir in milk, cilantro and reserved 1/2 cup
corn just until moistened.
3.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto simmering chili. Cook uncovered
over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer or until
dumplings
are dry.
Variation
Vary the heat level in chili by adding more or less chili powder or red
pepper sauce. Also, try different brands of red pepper sauce because each
has its
own unique flavor and 'kick.'

In 5-quart or larger pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and
saute along with bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic. Cook until
vegetables are tender.
Add tomatillos and diced green chiles to pot; bring to boil. Add
beans and chicken; simmer 10 minutes. Serve topped with cheese and
sour cream if desired, with tortilla chips on the side.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel chopping blade, combine
the peppers and garlic, and puree until smooth. Scrape the mixture into a
large non-aluminum bowl. Add the stock, buttermilk, sugar, salt, corn,
nopales, oregano, and Tabasco, and stir to blend. Cover and chill for at
least 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt and oregano. Cover and
refrigerate.
Turn on your broiler, and position the rack at least 5 inches from the
heat.
Lightly brush the top of the tortilla wedges with oil. Place them on a
lightly oiled cookie sheet. Sprinkle on the oregano, crumbling it with your
fingers as you do this, then drizzle on the Parmesan cheese. Run them under
the broiler, just to crisp and color lightly, watching so they do not burn.
Before serving, ladle the soup into bowls. Add about a tablespoon of the
yogurt in the center. Sprinkle on chopped oregano and serve with the
tortilla wedges.

PANCAKES
I use the above recipe for making pancakes simply by adding more milk
or water until the consistency is correct for pancake batter. They
are excellent when served with gooseberry topping.

Rabbit Stew with Red Wine. A French civet is normally a winter dish
made with hare. It is cooked in red wine and the sauce is
traditionally thickened with the animal's blood, which gives the civet
its characteristic colour and taste. A simpler year-round civet can be
made with rabbit, marinated overnight in an aromatic mixture of wine,
garlic and peppercorns. Even without the blood, this stew has a mildly
gamey taste and is best served with a rich red wine either from
Burgundy or the Cotes du Rhone.

Collection of Acorns
Acorns are ready when the caps are removed easily without damage to
the acorns. Usually when acorns start dropping to the ground, most of
the acorns remaining on the tree are ripe. Acorns may be picked
directly from the tree when they are ripe. The freshest nuts are
collected this way.
Nuts may also be gathered from the ground if they haven't been there
too long. Choose the acorns that are green or dark brown. Light brown
color usually indicates that the acorns have been on the ground
longer and are more likely to have become dehydrated.
Select the largest acorns, and avoid those with obvious cracks,
holes, or damage from rodents or worms, and those that feel unusually
light or hollow.
A blue-gray mold also damages fallen seed. Acorns covered for about 2
months by wet leaves show mold at the blunt ends that gets well
within the nuts. Gather only freshly fallen acorns to avoid the mold.
Dry storage for the flour is essential. Acorn flour can easily become
moldy with the right combination of moist conditions and a few warm
winter days. When going into the storage container, smell the flour
before using. If a musty smell has developed, discard the flour.
Acorns can serve as a host for the aflatoxin mold, as can peanuts,
rye and other grains; most frequently, aflatoxin poisoning comes from
the mold aspergillus flavus. Acorn flour often lasts into February or
March before "going off," when stored at room temperature on the
kitchen shelf in a ceramic container. Freezing prolongs the shelf
life; but the flour loses the richness of its flavor 8-10 months
after freezing.
Arepas Note: This is a "quick and dirty" way to prepare arepas. They
don't exactly taste like the traditional arepa, but they get close
enough.

CORN TORTILLAS
In a medium mixing bowl combine tortilla flour and water. Stir mixture
together with your hands until dough is firm but moist (if necessary, add
more water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Let dough rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Using a tortilla press or rolling pin, flatten each ball between 2 pieces
of
waxed paper into a 6-inch circle.
Carefully peel off top sheet of waxed paper. Place tortilla, paper side up,
on a medium-hot, ungreased skillet or griddle. As tortilla begins to heat,
carefully peel off remaining sheet of waxed paper. Cook, turning
occasionally, for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until tortilla is dry and light
brown (tortilla should still be soft). Wrap tortillas in foil if using
immediately. Makes twelve 6-inch tortillas.
Morning to night, waffles have timeless appeal. For a simple supper, try
this twist on tacos--stud waffles with kernels of corn and top them
with a lively black bean salsa. A cornmeal mix streamlines the preparation.
For salsa, brush tomato halves with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil; place on
the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 8
to 10 minutes or until tomatoes begin to char, turning once. Remove from
broiler pan and cool slightly; coarsely chop.
Pour about half of the batter onto the grid of a preheated, lightly greased
waffle baker. Close lid quickly; do not open until done. Bake according to
manufacturer’s directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid;
keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
To serve, cut waffles in half. Divide warm waffles among 4 serving plates.

CORNBREAD-SAGE DRESSING
Before Europeans introduced wheat to the New World, most tribes used
cornmeal as a major bread-making ingredient. This recipe calls for the
addition of flour and leavenings to the cornmeal, which results in a
lighter version of this Native American bread.
2. Pour batter into a 2-inch-deep baking pan and bake about 25 minutes
or until the interior of the cornbread reaches 200oF. Remove cornbread
from the oven and let cool. Scrape the cooled cornbread from the pan
and crumble it into a large bowl.
4. Add vegetables to the crumbled cornbread and mix well. Add reserved
turkey stock if the mixture is too dry. Transfer dressing to a baking
dish and bake 20 to 30 minutes until heated through.
Yield: 4 servings
4 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup acorn meal, ground
about 1 cup cornmeal
Bring salted water to a boil and sprinkle the acorn meal into the boiling
water, stirring briskly with a wire or twig whisk. Then add the cornmeal.
Add just enough cornmeal to make a thick, bubbling batch in which a wood
spoon will stand up fairly well. Place the saucepan in a larger container
holding two inches or more of boiling water. (Use a double boiler, if you
have one.) Simmer the mush until quite thick, about 45 minutes, stirring
occasionally to keep it from lumping.
Cornmeal and acorn mush is very good for breakfast on a cold morning. It
can be served with sweetened milk and a dab of wild fruit jam or homemade
butter. But it is also great as a main course lunch or dinner. You can also
add salsa or bacon bits and grated cheese on top to get great variety.
This mush is very filling and will stick to your ribs.
I often make a double batch and pour the “extra” in a greased bread pan.
When cooled in the fridge overnight, it becomes quite solid and can be
sliced in half inch thick slices, dipped in flour and fried in oil, first
one side, then turn and fry the other. Fried acorn and cornmeal mush is one
of our absolutely favorite camp (or at-home) breakfasts. Serve it with
butter, salt, and thick fruit jam or maple syrup. Of course, David likes
his with catsup.
Page 255
2. In a large bowl combine the flour, corn meal, baking powder and
salt. Add the walnuts and lemon zest; set aside. In a large mixing
bowl beat the egg and egg whites until foamy; gradually beat in the
sugar until mixture is very light in color. With the beater running
add the olive oil in a slow steady stream; add milk and vanilla
until combined. Gently fold into the flour mixture.
3. Spoon into the prepared pan and bake until edges pull away from
sides, about 25 minutes. Cool on rack.

Fried bread, native fast food, is one of the most popular and
widespread of native foods served at pow wows, Indian cowboy rodeos,
festivals and family gatherings. There are two basic recipes: one
is a yeast-leavened bread dough, and the other is a quicker baking
powder version. Fry bread is served with honey or powered sugar,
chokecherry and saskatoon berry gravy or sauce. Sometimes fresh
saskatoons are mixed into the raw dough. American natives in the
south are known to chop onions and chilies into the dough.
A basket of fried bread and bannock placed in the middle of the dinner
table at the Pitaa Native Dinner Show quickly disappears. Enjoy!
Yield: 1 servings

4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3 tbs baking powder
2 tbs oil
1 1/2 cups water
Raisins (if desired) Put flour, salt, and baking powder into mixing bowl.
Mix
well. If adding berries, put in now. Make a small depression in dry
ingredients. Put in oil and some water. Stir in a circular motion with a
wooden spoon
(or a clean stick). Add water as needed until the batter is like bread
dough.
Put the batter on a clean rock or board and knead lightly to make sure all
the
lumps are gone. (Put some flour on the board so batter doesn't stick.)
Then pull just enough dough off to make a small ball. Using your hands,
flatten the ball into a circle about 3 inches across and 1/4 inch thick.
Poke a
knife through and cut two slits an inch apart and two inches long in the
center.
These make the bannock cook more evenly.
Carefully drop the cake into the hot oil and let it cook until you see the
edge turn a golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes depending on how hot the oil is.
Then
turn the cake over and let it cook about the same amount of time. Pull it
out
and let the oil drain off. When cool, cut it in half and put jam or butter

added white truffle oil and the dried lavender flowers to processer

DODGER BREAD
recipe
My family has an even simpler version of Johnny Cakes (or Shawnee Cakes)
than Skydancer listed. This is for when times are hard and you just don't
have enough flour to make cornbread. It is just cornmeal, salt and water.
Basically, it is fried cornmeal mush. Mix cornmeal and salt with water.
Slide spoonfuls of the batter into hot grease in a cast iron skillet.
Brown
on both sides. These Dodger Breads are more chewy than hoecakes and last a
little longer before becoming stale. Best eaten hot. They are good
crumbled into stew or chili.
Fried grits are good, too. If you have leftover breakfast grits, pack them
into a bread pan until they are cold and set up hard. Then you can remove
from the pan and slice. Fry the slices in hot grease.
Mix dry ingredients together - except for the yeast - in a large bowl. Mix
warm water with dry milk. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients. Add eggs and
melted butter. Mix well. Add two packages of dry yeast. Mix all
ingredients well.
Knead dough until a good consistency, and form into a ball. Grease a large
bowl, and put ball of dough in bowl and let rise to the top of the bowl
(about 30-60 minutes). Punch dough down and let rise again to top of bowl.
When dough has risen for second time, it's time to make your frybread!
Using an electric skillet or large frying pan, heat enough vegetable oil to
cook several disks of dough at one time. Let oil heat up to 160-180
degrees. When hot, test oil with a little piece of dough. If dough sizzles
and begins to brown, the oil is ready.
From large bowl of dough, pull a small piece off and form into a small
ball, and flatten into disk, about 1/2 inch in thickness and 4 inches in
diameter. Punch a small hole in the center and put into the hot oil. Cook
until brown on one side and then turn over. When both sides are brown,
drain on paper towels.

Remove dove from stockpot. Add chicken bullion to the stock and bring
to a boil. Drop in dumplings one at a time. Cook for about 20 minutes
or until tender. Return dove to stockpot and simmer covered for about
5 minutes.
You can use just about any kind of wild bird for this recipe, I like
it best with dove or quail.

Moisten a mass of corn meal with boiling water and quickly mold it
into cakes in the closed hand moistened in cold water. Drop the
dumplings one by one into boiling water and boil for a half hour.
Dumplings were the favorite thing to cook with boiling meats,
specially game birds.
To fish the dumplings from the pot everyone had a sharpened stick or
bone. The dumplings were speared and held on the stick to cool and
nibbled with the meat as it was eaten. The sticks after use were
wiped off and stuck between the logs or bark of the wall for future
use. Many of the sharpened splinters of bone now excavated from
village and camp sites are probably nothing more than these primitive
forks, or more properly food holders. Oho' sta' was one of the foods
of which children were very fond, nor did grown people despise it as
a bread with their meat. Source: "Iroquois Uses of Maize and Other

To cook the pancakes: pour the pancake mixture into a jug. Heat an
18cm pancake pan and melt sufficient butter to lightly grease the
pan. Stir the pancake mixture and pour just enough into the hot
pancake pan to cover the base. Swirl the pan to achieve an even
shape and cook until the mixture just begins to bubble and the
underside is pale biscuit coloured. Turn carefully with a spatula
(these pancakes are quite soft) and cook on the other side. Remove
from the pan and stack in pairs, separated by grease proof paper,
until required. Repeat the procedure, wiping the pan with buttered
kitchen paper between each pancake, until all the mixture is cooked.
These pancakes can be reheated in a 150oC oven and will freeze well
in an airtight container. (They are delicious served `sandwiched'

The Druids of ancient England worshipped the oak tree. After you've
tasted English muffins made with the fruit of the oak (from ye corne
of ye aike, or aike corne, in Middle English), you just might become
a born-again Druid.
3. Place the leached acorns in a blender with the soy milk, corn oil,
and yeast mixture and process until smooth. In another large bowl,
mix these wet ingredients with two-thirds of the flour mixture. Cover
the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place (80 to 85 degrees)
for 30 minutes.
4. Mix the remaining flour mixture with the baking soda and add this
mixture to the risen dough. Knead the dough briefly and shape it into
12 flat, round muffins that are 3 inches across by 1/2 inch thick.
Dust the tops and bottoms with the cornmeal. Cover the muffins with a
damp towel and let them rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
5. Cook each muffin on an oiled hot griddle over low heat until the
underside is dry, about 10 minutes. Turn it over with a metal spatula
and cook it until the other side is dry, about another 10 minutes.
Serve the muffins immediately or let them cool on wire racks.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub each ear of the corn with the
oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the corn either on the grill
or either on an open flame. Cook the corn for 1 minute on all sides.
Remove from the heat and cool. Using a sharp knife, remove the
kernels from the cob. In a large saute pan, melt the butter. Add the
onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes.
Add the corn and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add the jalapenos
and garlic. Continue to cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and
cool slightly. Turn the vegetable mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in
the mayonnaise and half of the cheese. Mix well. Stir in the green
onions. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a greased
6 cup oven-proof oval baking dish. Spread evenly and top with the
remaining cheese. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until bubbly.
Fry the tortillas in batches until crispy, about 2 minutes, stirring
constantly for overall browning. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish the dip with the chopped olives.

A typical Friday morning for Chalan and Duran is a busy one. Chalan gets up
early to mix the frybread dough while Duran is busy making a cedar fire
for the frybread to cook over. Using self-rising flour, salt, baking
powder, powdered milk and 'just a little bit of lard,' it takes Chalan
about 15 to 20 minutes to mix the dough with her hands. After letting it
rise, she separates the dough into 50 fist-sized dumplings and places them
in a pan to take outside.
Valdo was a little girl when she watched how her grandmother and other
women her grandmother's age shaped the dough over their knees. The women
would lay a wet dishcloth over a knee and place the dough on top to pull it
outward to make the large Frisbee-sized disks'Now the women use their
hands and pull it out that way,' Valdo said.
Before they had metal racks, such as the one Chalan uses, the women would
take the burners from their cast-iron stoves and put them on top of metal
cans placed around the fire to cook the bread.
One piece of plate-sized frybread is said to contain at least 700 calories
-- plus 27 grams of fat, according to a nutritional analysis by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. But Chalan explains it's eaten in moderation and
usually for special occasions.
Frybread is eaten with various types of American Indian food all over the
country. It came about in the 1800s, when American Indians were forced onto
reservations and kept from their traditional foods such as elk, corn, deer
and rabbit.
In place of these foods, American Indians had rations of flour, salt and
lard to live on. Indian women did what they could and fried the bread in
lard.
Today Indian women such as Chalan and Valdo still cook it, giving them a
way to remember their family and spend time together as mother and
daughter. They like to eat their frybread with chile, beans, posole and
bologna, and there's the occasional Indian taco.
'When you cook beans, you have to have frybread that goes with it,' Valdo
said.

We are all familiar with both the corn and flour tortillas, but the
original
ones were of the native corn only, and except in Northern Mexico, corn
tortillas remain the norm and the staple.
*Masa harina (corn flour) can be purchased in most supermarkets.
Quaker and
Maseca brands are both excellent. If you are fortunate to have a
specialty
Mexican market nearby, you can purchase the masa dough freshly made
and
ready to press or roll out.
Directions:
Place the masa harina and salt in a large bowl. Add the water and mix
with
your hands to make a dough that comes together in a soft ball.
Continue
mixing and kneading until the dough is elastic enough to hold together
without cracking, about 3 minutes. If using right away, divide the
dough
into 18 equal portions and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. If
making ahead for later use, wrap the whole ball in plastic wrap and
refrigerate for up to 1 day and then divide.
place the
tortilla in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 30
seconds.
Turn and cook on the other side for 1 minute. Turn again, and cook
until the
tortilla puffs a bit but is still pliable, not crisp, about 30
seconds more.
Remove and continue until all the tortillas are cooked. Serve right
away as
this is when they are the best.
FLOUR TORTILLAS
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons oil
1 cup water
Mix the dry ingredients, then add the wet ones. Knead for a few minutes,
then set aside in a dish cloth to let it rest if you want. Divide the
dough into 5 or 6 pieces and roll each piece out as thin as you
can. Cook in an *ungreased* pan over medium-high heat, flipping when
light brown spots appear. Be careful -- your pan will probably get
hotter as you go and cook faster. If your tortillas get black spots,
don't worry -- they'll still taste fine. However, you'll probably have a
little bit of char in your pan that you'll have to scrub off.
Mix all dry ingredients together well. Mix in lard then add warm milk
gradually kneading until smooth. Make 1' balls and set aside. Flour rolling
surface and with your palm press one 1' ball into a 4' to 5' circle. Then
us
rolling pin to press into an 8' circle. Place into a hot, dry cast-iron
skillet
for about 30 seconds on each side, just until tortilla begins to brown and
spot.

FORCEMEAT BALLS
In a large bowl, combine the suet, ham, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon
peel, thyme, sage, salt and a few grindings of pepper. Stir
thoroughly, then add the egg and mix together until the forcemeat can
be gathered into a ball. Divide into 12 equal pieces and with lightly
moistened hands, shape each piece into a ball about 1 1/2 in in
diameter.

1 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon lard
2/3 cup water
Mix together dry ingredients; cut in lard with a pastry blender until
mixture resembles fine crumbs. Sprikle water over pastry, a little
at a time, stirring with a fork until mixture forms a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a light floured board. Knead about 10 times. Roll
out to 1/2 inch thick circle; place on a greased baking sheet. Bake
at 450 for 10-15 minutes until golden. Cut in wedges and serve hot
with butter.
Same ingredients. Put in bowl and mix with hands until thoroughly
combined. Work with dough until it feels soft and satiny, about 3-5
minutes. Take handful of dough and pat between palms until you get a
saucer sized form. Wrap around sturdy stick and cook over open camp
fire until golden brown. Can be eaten alone, broken in pieces and
buttered and jammed, or if you want to get fancy, stuff with cooked
ground beef mixture. The best way to eat it is at night when the kids
have gone to bed, and you are sitting around the campfire swapping
horror stories. Eat it plain, it is fantastic.

8 ears of corn*
1/2 cup red pepper dice
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
sour cream and paprika for garnish
* (enough for 24 corn husks and 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels)
Remove the husks from the corn, saving the large inner ones and discarding
the very outer and the small inside husks (you'll need 3 husks for each
tamale). In a large bowl, cover the husks with enough hot water to cover
and
leave to soak.
With a sharp knife over a large mixing bowl, remove the corn kernels from
the cobs saving all the juices. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of corn.
Add the red pepper, sour cream, milk, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and
cayenne pepper to the bowl and stir to mix.
Drain the husks thoroughly in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
Place approximately 1/4 cup of the filling onto 1 husk and spread it
slightly lengthwise. Bring the top and bottom ends to the center,
overlapping slightly. Wrap another husk around it lengthwise, forming a
cylindrical shape. Use one more husk to seal and secure the shape by
wrapping the opposite way. Using butchers twine, tie securely crosswise and
make a knot.
Place the tamales in a steamer over simmering water and steam for 1 hour.
Remove with a slotted spatula. Cut the strings and remove. Cool slightly,
then serve with a dollop of sour cream and a drift of paprika.

American markets in the United States. Extra-fine yellow corn meal can be
substituted.
If using fresh ears of corn, cut kernels from the cobs with a knife or a
corn kernel remover. Measure 1 1/2 cups corn kernels, reserving the extra
for another use, and coarsely grind in a meat grinder or food processor.
Pour the ground corn and its liquid into a large mixing bowl.(If using
defrosted corn kernels, coarsely grind, then place in a large bowl and add
the 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir cornmeal and brown sugar into the ground
kernels and their liquid. Mix in the butter thoroughly and stir the batter
until it is smooth.
Spoon 1/3 cup batter into the lightly buttered cups of a standard muffin

Wash and slice the tomatoes. Dip the slices in the egg and then
into the cornmeal and flour mixture. Fry in hot fat, salt and pepper
to taste. Cucumbers and medium ripe tomatoes can be prepared in this
same manner.
2 large eggs
4 cups buttermilk
2 cups flour
2 cups panko breadcrumbs (see note)
2 or 3 green tomatoes, sliced about 1/4-; inch thick
vegetable oil for frying

In a shallow bowl, mix together the eggs and the buttermilk. In another
bowl, place the flour. In a third bowl, the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip the tomatoes first into the flour, making sure flour covers both sides.
Then dip floured tomato into the buttermilk mix (the liquid will make the
flour pasty, enabling the crumbs to stick better). Coat slice with
breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to make sure crumbs adhere. Cover both sides.
When all tomato slices are breaded, fill a large skillet with oil about 1
inch deep. Heat oil to 350 degrees. Deep-fry the slices, a few at a time,
until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Creek sauce.
To make Creek sauce: Mix all ingredients together well in a large bowl.

FRY BREAD
info
Fry Bread is a staple at most North American Indian feasts and gatherings.
It's simply bread dough fried in hot oil and topped with jam or wojapi or
toppings to make indian tacos. It's yummy and cheap and fun to make and
healthy...well never mind the healthy part, but it's GOOD.
There are as many different recipes and ways to make fry bread as there are
Indian aunties and grannies making the bread. Some is thick, some is thin,
some is yeasty, some is soda based. But there are some things that are
important no matter which basic recipe you use. The first thing is making
sure the dough is wet enough. Good fry bread dough should slither off your
hand if you turn your hand sideways. If it drops off quickly, it's too dry.
If it sticks, it's too wet. I think it's always a good idea to mix fry
bread with your hands, too, just because you have more control over it, and
it's fun. The next very important thing in making killer fry bread is to
knead the bread LIGHTLY. When you're ready to roll the bread out for
cutting, only knead in enough flour to keep it from sticking, and don't
mess too much with the dough. My final tip to great Indian fry bread is to
make sure the oil is the right temperature. When the dough is dropped into
the pan, it should take about 4 or 5 second for it to rise to the surface.
If it takes longer, the oil isn't hot enough. You need to pause a minute or
so after frying several pieces of bread to let the oil regain the right
temperature.

It's has many names. Frybread Breakfast Burrito, Frybread Taco, Navajo
Taco, Indian Taco, just depends on where you get it and what time of
day. They're also fabulous for breakfast OR lunch.
The most popular one: You take a freshly made frybread and top it with
crumbled browned meat (lamb, beef, mutton, buffalo, venison, your
choice). Then top that with shredded lettuce, some diced tomatoes,
some diced hot green chile, some diced onions (sparingly if raw,
better if sauted), some shredded cheese, and serve it flat. People
can than eat it flat or fold it like a taco (hence the name) to eat
it. One serves 2 or 3 people. I imagine you could make smaller
frybreads at the diner for individual servings, why not?
At another place, they take frybread (sweet recipe) and top with
scrambled eggs and diced fried ham, hot green chile, some shredded
cheese, salt and pepper, etc. These are served either rolled up like
a burrito or folded like a taco.
I like the ones I make here at home (but my frybread recipe isn't very
good.... for some reason they aren't as good as the ones at the fair)
that I top with thin sliced (think shaved) steak and onions fried in a
scant tablespoon of peanut oil, some salt and pepper, and then rolled
and devoured.

Fry bread is one of the most popular and widespread of the modern
Native American Indian foods. There are two main types of this bread
that are used for everything from a quick snack to an everyday dinner
bread. In the North and East regions, a fried yeast bread is most
popular, while in the South and west regions a recipe utilizing
baking powder in lieu of yeast is the more common form. In Texas the
Alabama-Coushatta use the same recipe as the Navajo Fry Bread listed
below.
In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir
in milk and knead briefly with lightly oiled hands until smooth. Rub

let sit in a warm area for about 30 minutes. Either pat or roll out
enough dough to fit in the palm of your hand in a circle about one
quarter inch thick. Deep fry in a hot 350 degree oil for about one
minute per side or until golden brown. Makes 10-12 pieces.

FRYBREAD (ZAHSAKOKWAHN)-
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
deep hot fat in frypan or fryer
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
deep hot fat in frypan or fryer
Sift dry ingredients. Lightly stir in milk. Add more flour as necessary to
make a dough you can handle. Kneed and work the dough on a floured board
with floured hands until smooth. Pinch off fist-sized lumps and shape into
a disk... everyone has their own characteristic shapes. Shape affects the
taste, because of how it fries. For Indian tacos, the disk must be rather
flat, with a depression... almost a hole... in the center of both sides.
Make it that way if the fry bread is going to have some sauce over it.
Smaller, round ones are made to put on a plate. Fry in fat (about 375°)
until golden and done on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on absorbent
paper. It will make 8-10 small ones or 5 big flat ones for Indian tacos.

This is like corn dogs. The dough is rolled out into a 1/2-inch thick
wrapper for each hot dog. Grill the hot dogs first, then place on wrapper
and seal. Pinch tightly closed along seam and ends. Use more salt in dough
-- about 1 tsp in proportion to my batch ingredients. The above batch will
do about 2 dozen - 30 dogs.

Cook beans covered, with a bay leaf, in 2 1/2 cups water so about 3/4 cup
liquid will remain when they are very tender. If you bring them to a boil,
then turn off the heat and let them cool off an hour, you can then boil
them without soaking all night previousy. Add salt the last 15 minutes

For the forcemeat- If the meat is not very smooth and fine after it
has been ground 3 times, place it in small batches in a food
processor and process it until it is very smooth and the consistency
of the meat in a frankfurter. Add all the ingredients and mix
thoroughly. When well mixed take a small portion of the meat and
poach it in a little boiling water or saute it in a fry pan and test
the seasonings. I prefer to saute the meat. If needed, correct to
taste. Remember these will be eaten cold and the seasoning will not
be as intense when cold so they should be a little over seasoned when
hot.
For the terrines- Using one pound per pan, line each pan with bacon,
allowing the bacon to hang over the side so you can cover the tops
when done. This is accomplished by starting each strip in the center
of the bottom of the pan and working it up the sides and hanging the
excess over the side. Continue until the pan is completely lined.
This will require most of the pound of bacon.
layer about 1 inch deep. Pat in down firmly expelling all the air
from the corners and bottom. Place a layer of the chicken livers on
the meat, sprinkle with salt and the cajun seasoning to taste, and
cover with another layer of meat. Again pack it down firmly expelling
all the trapped air and sealing it to the bottom layer. Place the
sliced chicken breasts on top of the second layer of forcemeat
longways and again season to taste with the salt and cajun seasoning.
Cover with a third layer of forcemeat and pack down firmly. The pan
should be almost full to the top when done. Fold the bacon strips
over the top of the meat, pat down firmly and cover with aluminum
foil.
Terrine #2- This terrine should be made in layers the same way as the
first. Saute the mushrooms and bell pepper in the butter until just
cooked and set aside. Squeeze the spinach with your hands to get all
the liquid out. Construct the terrine using the mushrooms, spinach,
bell pepper and pork loin, seasoning to taste as before, with the

The Chalupa sounds like Indian Fry bread and if you want an easy and fast
way to make this, use refrigerator biscuits for this. I learned this
trick
from some Indian ladies at an Indian gathering. The frying seems to change
the taste and also if you use biscuit mix it tastes the same.

Years later, when Watts, who has a master's degree in anthropology, was
doing research at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, she
offered to make bannock as a fundraiser for a Native youth group. It was so
popular that soon she had a bannock stand in front of the museum.
Over the next few years, her business grew. In 1995 Watts opened the
Liliget
Feast House, a restaurant serving indigenous Pacific Northwest cuisine.
Since then, the restaurant and its chef/owner have gained culinary acclaim
in Canada and beyond. On January 21, 2004, when the popular Food Network TV
program Iron Chef came to Vancouver, Watts competed against the Japanese
Iron Chefs--and won. The award was a fitting tribute both to her talent and
to the rich Native cooking heritage of the Pacific Northwest.
In a large bowl, combine the water, salt, sugar, oil and yeast. Add 6 cups
of flour, mixing by hand until dough becomes stiff. If dough feels sticky,
gradually add additional flour.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes or
until
smooth and elastic. Return dough to bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow
to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
Press down the dough and pat or roll it into a 12' by 18' rectangle. Using
a
knife, cut the rectangle into 2' to 3' squares. Flatten the squares very
gently with the palm of your hand.
In a large, heavy frying pan, heat 1' of oil over medium to high heat to
375
degrees Fahrenheit, or until a small piece of dough floats. Fry dough until
underside is golden brown, then flip dough over and cook until golden
brown.
Drain bannock on paper towels and serve immediately.

GRAPE DUMPLINGS
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp shortening
1/2 cup grape juice
Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and shortening. Add juice and mix
into stiff dough. Roll dough very thin on floured board and cut into strips
½' wide (or roll dough in hands and break off pea-sized bits). Drop into
boiling grape juice and cook for 10 - 12 minutes.
Some Cherokee cooks continue to make their grape dumplings by gathering and
cooking wild grapes, or 'possum grapes' instead of grape juice.
GRATED BREAD
1 none
Use any large vegetable grater. We used to make ours for bread
grating by making perforations with a nail driven through tin, making
a lot of these rough holes, and cupping it trough-shaped and nailing
it to a board, inverted, forming a hump-shaped grater.
Either fry the grated corn like corn pone, or add baking powder and
salt as for making corn bread, using less liquid to the already
moist, grated corn.

surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into
a round loaf. Put the dough into a lightly-oiled 8-inch-round cake pan.

GRITTED BREAD
text
The Corn must be picked from the Corn patch when it is ripe enough to
eat, and when it is too hard to eat as tender Corn. The Corn is gritted
on a Gritten Board. Now days the common graters can be used. The old
timers made theirs with a nail punched piece of tin, cupped with the
rough side up and nailed to a board. (What did they do before nails?)
Take the gritted Corn meal. Moisten it with scalding water or Milk and a
little bit of Salt. Let stand for about an hour. Pour the batter into
a hot greased skillet. When one side is done, turn it over. Just like
making pancakes.
Page 356
Remove the husks (save them! see below) and silks. Using the coarsest holes
on a regular kitchen grater, grate the corn off the cob into a bowl (save
the corn AND the juice). Mix up the cornbread following the directions on
the box. Stir in the grated corn and it's "milk". Pour into a greased 13x9"
baking dish and bake per box directions.
Because this cornbread has a higher moisture content than normal, you may
have to bake it longer than the directions say. Serve hot with fresh
butter. You can serve it with honey, jelly, etc., but it really doesn't
need it. This is the sweetest cornbread you'll ever eat.
"Gritting" was literally scraping the corn cob over something that would do
the same thing as your grater. Gritted breads were made by adding ground
meal to the gritted corn until a "dough" was achieved.
Save those green husks! You can dry them by clothes-pinning them to a line
or towel bar. Corn husks or "corn fodder" are used in a number of dishes.
The silks were sometimes used as smoking material, but I don't have any
info on it.

Here in Sweden the hunting for hare is very beloved and traditional
and for that we also eat a lot of hare. This makes Swededes experts
in preparing the meat. ; -)
To begin with, the hare must be tenderized. We normaly let the hare
hang for a week or ten days at temperatures under 4 degree Celsius.
For some, this may sound long, but believe me, the meat will need it.
After the tenderizing, you may place the hare in a bowl, cover it
comple te with processed sour milk and place the bowl in the fridge
for 24 hours. This will make the meat still more tender and take away
some of the strong venison taste. T his action is not necessary if
you do not mind venison tasting venison ;-).
Dry off the meat with kitchenpaper, and you are now ready to make
yourse lf popular by presenting a exquisite dinner. Place the sieved
breadcrumbs in the milk, leave for 10 minutes to swell. Mix the
remaining ingredients (except the prunes).
Form to small buns or eggs and place a prune in the center of each
egg. Be shure to cover the prune completely with the minced meat. Fry
them golden brown in butter at medium temperature.
Start with sizzle the onion in the butter for about 30 seconds. Add
the well wiped off chanterelles and sizzle while stirring until they
start to crack. Add the wheat flour, stirring well. Add the broth,
wine and the cream. Boil until the sauce starts to get thicker. Stirr

You will now enjoy the familys undisguised admiration and get a

-Boil the nutflour in water for 1/2 hour, or until mushy. Be careful
not to burn, as it can stick.
-Add maple syrup and cornmeal, stir well.
-Remove from heat and let thicken about 20 minutes or so.
-Heat the oil in a skillet.
-Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the hot oil, brown on one
side, then flatten and flip to fry other side.
-Drain on paper towel.
Tastes great for breakfast, hot or cold! Can serve with more maple

Put flour, dry milk, baking powder, salt and shortening in a bowl. With
your fingers, rub mixture until evenly combined. Use a fork to stir in the
water; mix until dough clings together. Turn dough out onto a floured board
and knead until smooth and velvety, takes 2 - 3 minutes. Divide dough into
6 equal portions; shape each into a ball. Using your hands, pat each ball
out into a 6-7 inch flat round. Lay rounds side by side on a floured board
and cover with plastic wrap until all are flattened.
In a deep pan, about 9 inches wide, heat 1 1/2 inches of oil to 375
degrees. Cook rounds of dough, one at a time, until puffy and golden brown,
about 2 minutes, turning once or twice. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm
in a 300-degree oven until all are cooked. Or let cool then package
airtight to chill until next day. To reheat: Arrange in a singe layer on a
baking sheet and place in a 375-degree oven for 5-8 minutes.

Piki is the Hopi name for an unusual, tissue-thin bread. It's traditionally
made on a hot stone griddle, but you can also swirl the cornmeal batter in
a nonstick frying pan. The process, I've found, holds the attention of
summer-bored youngsters; they're fascinated by the bubbling brew that
dries, turns into a crackly, popcorn-flavor bread, and melts away in your
mouth. No kids? Piki makes an entertaining appetizer with a cool beverage.

HUSH PUPPY 2
WHAT? A biscuit that's gone to the dogs. Though just lumps of deep-fried
cornmeal batter, this Southern classic can inspire reveries from people
below the Mason-Dixon line, where an abiding nostalgia for fish fries and
pig pickin's (pork barbecues) requires a steady supply of hush puppies. 'A
plate of fried fish seems mighty lonely without them,' Angela Shelf
Medearis
wrote in The African American Kitchen, and Southern cooking maven Nathalie
Dupree served fried catfish with hush puppies at her wedding. The unusual
name is usually attributed to people trying to quiet dogs by throwing them
bits of fried treats. Who those people were depends on which story you
believe--plantation servants carrying food to the dining room, Southerners
hiding from Yankees during the Civil War; Reconstructionists pitying dogs
left starving due to food shortages, or hunters rewarding hungry hounds
after day-long excursions. Regardless, when hush puppies are made well,
there's nothing like 'em. Chow down.
straight from Tennessee
Southern Hush Puppies Hush Puppies are traditionally made with fine ground
White Cornmeal but you can also use Yellow Cornmeal, too.
METHOD
When the oil is ready, drop a tablespoon of the batter into the hot oil,
shaping slightly with your hand. This makes one Hush Puppy. Cook three or
four at a time until light brown. They will usually turn over once.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot. Good with fried chicken or catfish.
Makes 12 to 14 hush puppies.

Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Gradually add cornmeal to
boiling water, stirring constantly. Stir until all cornmeal is mixed in
making a very stiff dough. Spoon bread out onto a plate and serve. This
bread is eaten with the thumb and first finger to hold it, and is more of a
firm pudding than a typical 'bread'.
Leftover huzusuki can be crumbled into boiling water, then meat drippings
and salt added to form a thick corn soup. By adding still more water, it
can become a broth or beverage.

and pepper.
Dredge with flour. Heat shortening in heavy skillet. Add meat; brown
on all sides. Transfer pieces to roaster; add onions and bay leaves.

The cover should be buttered before placing on mould, then tied down with a
string; otherwise the bread in rising might force the cover off. Mould
should not be fill more than 2/3 full. A melon mould or a one pound baking
powder box makes the most attractive shaped loaves. For a steaming place
mould on trivet in kettle containing boiling water. Allow water to come
half way up around the mould, cover closely and steam. Add more boiling
water as needed.

INDIAN CORNBREAD
From: Date:
Yield: 12 servings
4 cups milk
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup soy grits soaked in 1/2 cup water
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup light molasses
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup fine-chopped dried apples (optional; )
2 eggs
There must be several hundred recipes for this. East coast tribal people
taught settlers how to make it. Settlers sometimes calld it 'Hasty pudding'
kind of a joke, because the stone-ground cornmeal required many hours of
baking. This recipe adds a small amount of soy grits -- precooked soy beans
ground up to a fine quick-cooking meal. Through protein complementarity,
that greatly increases the availability of proteins in this dessert.
In a big pan, bring the milk to a boil, then add the cornmeal and soy grits
gradually stirring rapidly to keep lumps from forming. Lower heat and beat
vigorously until it starts to get thick (about 5 minutes). Remove from
heat. Add butter, sugar, molasses (can use maple syrup) and spices, let
cool somewhat. Stir in 2 beaten eggs. Pour into buttered baking dish, bake
50-60 minutes at 3250, until pudding is firm. Serve warm with cream,
vanilla icecream, or plain yoghurt.
oil
self rising flour
water
Put flour in large bowl, use one hand to mix the flour while slowly adding
water with other hand. You don't need to measure anything. Add the water
till
the mixture is slightly sticky (you don't want it really wet) If you added
to
much water just add some more flour. Once you have your dough you need to
heat up your oil. This is important! Your oil has to be very hot. Put the
oil
in a large deep pan. You need enough oil (like 2 1\2 inches deep) the bread
should be able to float. Once you have heated your oil up, flour your hands
and
tear off some of your dough ( you can make them as big or as small as you
like) Knead the dough in your hands so its like a pancake. Keep adding
flour to
your hands so its not sticking. Carefully add the dough to the oil.
Remember
the oil is hot so don't drop it in. It should only take like 5 seconds on
each side. Use a fork to pick it up and turn it over. It should be golden
brown
color. Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Making fry bread takes alot of practice. You probably won't make the best
fry bread the first time. Just keep trying.

My comments:
I haven't yet tried these recipes. I bought a 'Navajo Taco Kit' at the
Thunderbird Lodge Gift Shop in Chinle, which includes pre-mixed fry
bread flour, but I haven't tried that recipe yet, either.
I don't have any idea of why the first recipe says it's ok to roll the
dough out, and the second recipe specifically says not to.

4 lb pot roast
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoon butter
1 salt
1 flour
----IF DESIRED----
12 whole peppercorns
12 whole allspice
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 tablespoon grated horseradish
1/2 cup rum or dry red wine
1/2 cup water
1 large onion
1 recipe dumplings
1 carrots (small or quartered)
----DUMPLINGS----
2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoon baking powder
1 scant c milk
Mash the garlic and saute in the butter. Rub the meat with salt and
flour and brown it well on all sides in the butter. Lay the meat on a
bed or thin-sliced onion in a large Dutch oven or any pot with a
tight-fitting lid. Add the butter, the spices and seasonings and pour
the rum or wine over the meat. (A good pot roast will supply most of
its own juices, but as it cooks pour the 1/2 C water over it to make
an ample supply of gravy.) Cover tightly and simmer for 3 to 4 hours
until the roast is tender. This may be done either in the oven or on
the back of the stove. If you want carrots with the pot roast, add
them to the pot for the last half hour of cooking and for the last 12
minutes of cooking add the dumplings to steam in the flavors of the
pot. When the roast is done, remove it to a hot, round platter and
surround with the dumplings and carrots. Stir the grave until smooth,
correcting the seasoning if necessary. Pour it over the roast; if
fresh dill is available, cut it over the dish with a lavish hand.
Serves 6-8
DUMPLINGS
Sift together the dry ingredients and add the milk gradually. Drop by
the spoonful into the gravy and cook with pot toast or stew during
the last 12 minutes of cooking.

INDIAN PUDDING
With its delightful contrasts of warm spicy pudding and cold vanilla ice
cream, this version of an American classic is the ultimate comfort dessert.
Homey as it is, though, it looks elegant when served in stemmed bowls.
While Indian pudding is frequently stodgy, our version is soft and light
and altogether tempting.
1. Heat the oven to 350°. In a medium heavy stainless-steel saucepan, bring
the milk, cream, molasses, and brown sugar almost to a simmer over
moderately high heat, stirring occasionally.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, ginger, cinnamon, and
salt. Add to the milk mixture, whisking. Bring just to a simmer, whisking.
Pour into an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. The batter will be thin and shallow.
3. Bake the pudding in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from
the oven and stir well. Return the pudding to the oven and continue cooking
for 20 minutes. The pudding will still be quite wobbly but will set as it
cools. Let cool on a rack for 20 minutes and serve warm. Or cool completely
and reheat the pudding in a 350° oven for about 5 minutes just before
serving. Serve the pudding topped with the ice cream.
Variations: Stir the pudding after it has baked for twenty minutes and then
top it with one-third cup of chopped pecans or walnuts. Continue baking as
directed for twenty minutes longer.

The Iroquois were blessed with clear, cool lakes and sparkling streams, and
both served up an abundance of fish. Fish soup, or u'nega'gei, as the
Iroquois called it, was a favorite. One early recipe is described, 'Fish of
any kind is boiled in a pot with a quantity of water. It is then removed
and
coarse corn siftings stirred in to make a soup of suitable consistency.'
When wild onions and greens were available, they were usually tossed into
the soup pot, adding both color and flavor.
Place the mushrooms, consomme, corn meal, parsley, garlic, basil, onion,
pepper and salt in a large
saucepan, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add haddock, lima beans,
and sherry and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, breaking haddock
into bite-sized pieces. Serve hot.

The common grass burr (Cenchrus incertus) and sand burr (Cenchrus
echinatus) are a major nuisance in Texas and elsewhere. The half-dozen
to a dozen sharp spikelets on each seed stalk grab whatever passes by.
My English Springer Spaniel's hair has been so loaded with them she
could not lie down. There are numerous strategies for getting rid of
this unwanted weed-grass. I divised another. Make wine of their spiked
seeds.
I picked the seed stems while the seeds were still green and tossed
them into a bucket. When my back ached sufficiently, I went inside
and used a fork's tines to strip the spikelets off the stems. When
done, I made two more trips outside to "harvest" more burrs. When at
last I had a quart, I placed them in a 2-quart pan and added a quart
of water. I stirred to dampen them, then put on the lid and brought
them to a boil. Twenty minutes later I strained them out and saved
the dark green water. I assumed some tannin was present, but no sugar
or acids. The recipe developed from those assumptions. The finished
wine was light straw, without any hint of green.
Bring sand burrs to boil in 1 qt water for 15-20 minutes. Strain and
discard burrs, but retain water. Add sugar, tannin, acid blend, and
yeast nutrient and stir well to dissolve. Add grape concentrate and
remaining water. Cover and set aside to cool. When room temperature,
add activated yeast and recover. Stir daily until vigorous
fermentation subsides (7-10 days). Transfer to secondary, top up and
fit airlock. Ferment to absolute dryness (30-45 days). Rack into
clean secondary, top up and refit airlock. Rack after 60 days and
again 30 days after that. Stabilize with potassium sorbate and
crushed Campden tablet (stirred well), then sweeten to taste. Wait 30
days and rack into bottles. This wine was very drinkable after two
months but absolutely heavenly after a year. [Author's own recipe]

3 onions; each stuck with a
1 . few cloves
3 carrots; peeled & halved
3 celery ribs; halved
1 centiliter garlic; chopped
1 lemon rind; grated
1 orange rind; grated
5 juniper berries; crushed
1 handful black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
----FOR THICKENING SAUCE----
6 tablespoon butter
9 tablespoon flour; all-purpose
1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
1 1/4 cup port wine
1 salt & pepper to taste
----FORCEMEAT BALLS----
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 onion; very finely chopped
2 cup day-old breadcrumbs
3 oz beef suet; shredded
2 lemon rinds; grated
2 tablespoon parsley; chopped
1 egg; beaten
1 flour for coating
1 oil for frying
Cut the hares into serving pieces. If available, keep the blood in
a bowl to add to the sauce before serving. In a large flameproof
casserole or heavy saucepan, heat the butter and oil until very hot.
Pat dry each piece of hare with kitchen paper, to absorb any excess
moisture or blood, and brown each piece of hare on both sides in the
hot fat. As the pieces are browned, remove them to a warmed dish;
keep them warm in a low oven. When all the pieces of hare are
browned, add the vegetables and garlic to the fat in the pan and cook
for a few minutes.
Replace the pieces of hare in the pan and add the pared lemon and
orange rinds, the juniper berries, peppercorns and salt. Pour in
enough water to cover the hare. Cover the pan with a tightly fitting
lid and cook gently on top of the stove. or in a preheated low oven
(3000F / 1500C / gas 2), for about 3 hours, or until the meat is just
beginning to come away from the bones.
Meanwhile, make the forcemeat balls. Heat the butter and oil in a
saucepan, add the onion and cook for a few minutes. Pour the onion
into a mixing bowl and add the breadcrumbs. Mix well, then mix in the
suet, lemon rind, parsley and beaten egg. Flour your hands and form
the mixture into small balls about the size of a walnut. Coat each
ball in flour, and put on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof (wax)

paper. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook
them. (They can also be frozen.)
Remove the casserole from the oven and cool the hare in the stock.
When cool. take the pieces of hare out of the stock and strip the
meat from the bones. Put it into an ovenproof dish and set aside
while you make the sauce. Strain the stock.
Use the larger quantities of butter, flour and port wine if you
have no hare's blood to thicken the sauce. Melt the butter in a
saucepan, add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add 1-1/2
pints / 3 3/4 cups / 900ml of the hare stock, stirring all the time
until the sauce boils. Stir in the redcurrant jelly and port wine,
stirring until the jelly has melted in the hot sauce. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the hare meat in the
ovenproof dish. Cover the dish and reheat in the low oven until the
sauce is bubbling gently and does so for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, fry the forcemeat balls. Heat oil in a frying pan and
cook the balls until golden brown all over. Drain them on several
thicknesses of kitchen paper. They will keep warm for up to an hour.
If thickening the sauce with blood, pour a little of the hot sauce
into the bowl containing the blood. Mix well, and stir this into the
rest of the sauce and hare in the dish. If necessary, keep in a warm
oven until you are ready to serve, but take care not to let the sauce
boil again once the blood has been added. Serve the jugged hare with
the forcemeat balls.

Meanwhile you have boiled several gallons of water in a huge pot - likely
your biggest one - or else this recipe won't work.
Scoop boiling water into the meal and mix until you get a very thick dough,
very hot and sticky - but real nice and solid - no whimpy dough here...
Now - this is why only Mohawk Women can do this right...scoop up a handfull
of the hot mix (keep the screaming down - it is not traditional) and using
both hands, pat into a ball about the size of a softball and flatten it out
just a bit, dropping it into the boiling water - when it floats, it's done
and scoop them out as they get cooked. Put it in a bowl or something - it
will drain a bit.
While that's hot, you have braised (that's pan fried to you Lakota) a
large/huge slab of red meat in a giant skillet with lots of salt and pepper
then made a gallon of hot gravy from the drippings.
[PG Note: The slab of meat was obtained by running through the forest
and/or neighbor pasture and clobbering a large animal betwen the eyes with
one of the cornbreads. A large bear might require several clobberings. A
very healthful method of traditional food preparation! You get lots of
healthy exercise, running away from the farmer with your dead cow (or from
the bear who hung in there after being clobbered with all your ammo).]
Take a bread and cut it into bitesize chunks on your plate, likewise a cut
of meat and then pour gravy all over everything. Side dishes could be 2-5
pounds fried mushrooms, 5 pounds of sausages, coffee. Molson. Etonaiawen!
[PG cross cultural note: These are Mohawk exclamations demanding still more
to eat, commenting snidely on how slow the cornball hunters ran from the
farmer with the clobbered cow, and similar traditional ritual festival
exclamations.] You can check on Molson right here...
The next day, fry 1/2 inch slices in drippings until brown (good with
catsup) For a special serving suggestion, dip fried bread in maple syrup.
[PG cross-cultural Note: Those of us less primitive than Mohawks who have
been corrupted by California will pour maple syrup over sliced corncake and
even use knives and forks on the resulting breakfast dish.]

10 pcs dried mild new mexico chiles (2 1/2; to 3 oz)
5 cups water
3 1/4 lb boneless lamb shoulder, trimmed and; cut into 1 1/2-inch piec
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
1 pc large onion, chopped (2 cups)
4 pcs garlic cloves, minced
2 pcs turkish bay leaves or 1 california
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
3 tablespoons finely chopped canned chipotle chil; es in adobo
for dumplings
3/4 cup masa harina (corn tortilla mix)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled lard or unsalted butter, cu; t into small pieces
3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
No one is going to ask 'Where's the beef?' when confronted with this chili.
Slowly cooking the meat with lard, peppers, and spices creates a
wonderfully complex sauce that's topped off with tender corn-flavored
dumplings.
Make chili:
Simmer dried chiles in 2 cups water, covered, in a 2-quart heavy saucepan
until very soft, about 20 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking liquid, then
drain in a colander. Stem chiles (do not remove seeds), then purée in a
blender with reserved cooking liquid until smooth (use caution when
blending hot liquids). Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
Reserve purée.
Pat lamb dry, then sprinkle with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat 2
tablespoons lard in a 6-quart wide heavy pot or a 3-inch-deep
straight-sided skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking,
then brown lamb in 4 batches (without crowding), turning occasionally,
about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a bowl.
Add remaining tablespoon lard to pot, then cook onion, garlic, bay leaves,
and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over moderate heat, stirring occasionally,
until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cumin and oregano and cook, stirring
frequently, 1 minute. Stir in reserved chile purée and chipotles and
simmer, stirring frequently and scraping up brown bits from bottom of pot,
5 minutes. Add lamb along with any juices accumulated in bowl and remaining
3 cups water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until
lamb is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
Make dumplings:
Page 427
Stir together masa harina, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a
bowl. Blend in lard pieces with a pastry blender or your fingertips until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring just until dough is
moistened (do not overmix).
Skim fat off chili and discard bay leaves, then drop 8 or 9 heaping
tablespoons of dough onto simmering chili, about 2 inches apart. Reduce
heat to low and gently simmer, covered, until tops of dumplings are dry to
the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Cooks' note:
Chili is best when made at least 1 day ahead, without dumplings and
cilantro, and can be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered,
then chilled, covered. Discard fat from surface and reheat stew before
adding dumplings and sprinkling with cilantro.

*Note: Adobe Bread is a yeast bread, made in the outdoor ovens called
hornos, in the Southwest. It is sold on the Plaza by Native American
vendors in Santa Fe, New Mexico however, if this bread is not
available to you, any yeast non-sour dough bread can be used and made
into the bread crumbs for this recipe.
To make the stuffed chiles, roast, peel and seed the chiles, keeping
them whole for stuffing. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet
over medium heat and saute the onions about 4 minutes, until
translucent. Add the ground lamb and brown 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally to prevent burning. Drain off the excess fat and add the
bread crumbs, tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Decrease the
heat and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Slice the chiles lengthwise, spread them open on a work surface and
generously stuff each chile with the lamb mixture. Place the stuffed
chiles on an oiled baking pan with the open side down and set aside.
To make the puree, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook
another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until
the excess liquid evaporates. The sauce will reduce and thicken. At
this point you can pour the sauce through a fine sieve to remove the
skins or you can serve the sauce as it is. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the stuffed chiles in the
baking dish in the oven and heat until hot, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve immediately with the tomato puree. Garnish with sour cream, if
desired.

To make the stuffed chiles, roast, peel and seed the chiles, keeping them
whole for stuffing. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium
heat and saute the onions about 4 minutes, until translucent. Add the
ground lamb and brown 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Drain off the excess fat and add the bread crumbs, tomatoes, garlic, salt,
pepper, and herbs. Decrease the heat and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove
from the heat and let cool. Slice the chiles lengthwise, spread them open
on a work surface and generously stuff each chile with the lamb mixture.
Place the stuffed chiles on an oiled baking pan with the open side down and

LAVENDER FOCACCIA
In a small bowl, combine sugar or honey with 1/2 cup of warm water.
Sprinkle yeast over the mixture; let the stand until foamy, 5 to 8
minutes.
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the
flour and pour in remaining water, yeast mixture, and 4 tablespoons
olive oil. Mix approximatelly 5 minutes or until you form a dough;
transfer to your work surface.
Knead for 10 minutes then add the salt and knead for a approximately 6
to 10 minutes or until the dough is very smooth (if the dough sticks
to your hands, add some additional flour, one tablespoon at at time).
Spray a large bowl with non-stick cookiny spray. Form the dough into a
round shape and place dough in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and
set aside in a warm place (draft free) to rise for approximately 45 to
60 minutes or until dough has doubled in bulk. NOTE: At this point
you can refrigerate the dough overnight. Be sure to allow the dough to
return to room temperature before putting it in the oven.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a large baking sheet (I use
the new silpads instead of oil). Lightly flour work surface and roll
out dough into a large rectangle.Transfer dough to the baking sheet,
cover with plastic wrap and let rise approximately 30 to 45 minutes
or until it doubles in size.
While dough is rising, make the lavender garlic topping. Finely chop
the lavender. In a small bowl, mix lavender and garlic with remaining
2 tablespoons olive oil.
Make dimples in the dough with your fingers by pushing into the dough
several times. Brush the lavender-garlic topping all over and into the
dimples. Sprinkle coarse salt and pepper on top. Bake for 30 to 35
minutes or until golden brown. A good check is to use an instant
digital thermomether to test your bread. The temperature should be
between 200 and 210 degrees. Remove from oven and transfer to wire

LAVENDER SHORTBREAD
1 lb sugar, or
8 oz sugar and
8 oz malt extract
1 oz cream of tartar
1/2 oz ginger
1/2 lb dandelion
5 quart water
1 cake or
1 tablespoon yeast, or
1 pkg brewing yeast
Wash well a large non-metal fermentation vessel. Put sugar and cream
of tartar into vessel. Wash dandelion (use any mix of roots and
leaves) and chop coarsely. Boil 10 minutes with grated ginger and
water. Strain through several layers of damp cheesecloth into vessel.
Stir well until sugar is completely dissolved. When cooled to blood
temperature (a little warmer than skin temp) brew is ready for yeast.
Dissolve yeast in water and add to vessel.
Here the original instructions say to "cover the lot with a clean
cloth and let it ferment for 3 days". I put mine into a plastic
fermentation bucket with a bubble air lock. Both methods work.
After three days, siphon off into sterilized bottles, adding 1/2 tsp
of sugar per pint to make it bubbly, and cap. Leave at room
temperature for one week, then if possible at a cooler temp
(refrigerator is fine) for an additional 1-2 weeks. Tastes best well
chilled. Remember that with most homebrews you never pour out the
last few drops in the bottle, which can still have yeasty sediment
even if the rest of the beer is beautifully clear.

Place 6 cups grape juice and sugar in a large saucepan and heat, the
other 1 1/2 cups Grape Juice is the liquid for the dumplings.
Mix the remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl and add the
reserved grape juice until a bit thicker than biscuit dough.
On a floured board roll out four circles each being about 12 inches
in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Cut these into 3/4 inch wide strips,
and cut the strips into 3 inch long pieces.
When the Juice is boiling, add the dumplings, one at a time. Boil
slowly for about 15 minutes. The grape gravy (juice) can be thickened
with flour and water but I prefer a cornstarch slurry to thicken it
to a medium thick gravy.
This can be eaten hot or cold. It is good (although not traditional)
hot with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Below I have included the recipe for some great traditional Chippewa
Bannock with dried berries. This recipe comes out pretty sweet, so
you may want to reduce the honey and and replace the berries with
chopped green onions to end up with a more savory 'hush puppy'. The
recipemay well be pre-contact as it does not include any 'European'
ingredients.
I have often cooked these on a open hearth - in a heavy deep pan and
about 3-4 inches of corn oil. I simply mix the wet ingredients in a
gallon jug and mix it with the corn meal and berries a couple of
minutes before I cook them. These are a big hit with everyone 0
especially kids! Good Luck, Henry

It was cooked in pioneer days in cast iron frying pans over open
fires. Toutons use a similar dough where small rings are deep fried
like doughnuts. Oven baking has become an alternative to the cast iron
frying pan when made at home. The dough can also be wrapped around
green de-barked sticks driven into the ground beside the camp fire.
Measure flour, salt, baking powder [and dried fruit and sugar] into a
large bowl. Stir to mix. Make a well in the center and pour in a 1/2
cup water. Do not mix yet. Then add the melted lard and the rest of
the water. Depending on the dryness of the flour add up to 1/4 cup
more. The resulting batter should be slightly sticky, not flaky like
pie pastry. Stir with fork to make a ball. No not overmix; stop as
soon as the ball of dough lifts away from the bowl. Turn out onto a
working surface. Knead gently about 10 times. Do not over work the
dough and let the gluten develop. Or mix and knead with your hands in
the bowl. Pat into a flat circle 1 inch thick. Cook in a greased
frying pan over medium heat allowing 15 minutes each side. Use two
lifters for easy turning. Serve hot with butter. Break it off in
chunks or slice into wedges with a knife. May also be baked on greased
baking sheet at 375 deg for 25 to 30 minutes or 450 deg for about 20

Mesquite beans
Gather the mesquite beans in fall when they are ripe, and spread them
out in the sun until they are dry. They can be ground stone-on-stone
in the Indian fashion or ground a few at a time in an electric
blender or food processor. (If you use the modern method, expect a
loud clattering, since the beans are very hard.) Sift the resulting
flour to get out all the hulls and trash. If you are fussy, look out
that the mesquite is not infested with weevils; they are perfectly
edible and a part of Native Californian cuisine, but many people do
not like the idea. When you have as much as you will need, pour just
a little water in it and stir; set in the sun to dry a little. Then
mix in enough water to make a stiff dough. Cut the dough into little
cakes and set out in the sun until very dry. Then they are ready to
be eaten with coffee or milk or stored away for future use.

Hi Mesquite lovers:
I have two big Mesquite trees in my garden in Tempe which I grew from
seeds. It's a honey mesquite (Prosopis velutina) from the Tucson area
and produces a bumper crop of beans every year. If I am up to it and
collect them all I get about 5 pounds of meal for cookies and breads
and a wonderful drink from the leftover (which my blender won't turn
into meal).
Mesquite Flour
Pioneers used this flour as a stretcher when real flour began to run
out. For the original people, of course, it was flour. Use only
tree-ripened beans, tan to reddish brown, (Important! Green Beans
Don't Work!) Sun dry or oven dry; or parch carefully. Rough-grind
pieces (1-2 inches) in a metate or on a similar stone surface. Mortar
and pestle will do for small amounts. Re-grind until a rough but
uniform meal is produced. Sun dry or oven dry again (Important Step)
Fine grind to produce a flour roughly the consistency of cornmeal. Do
not sift. Use as a substitute for flour or half and half in any
recipe. Useful in flour tortillas, biscuits, bread, or mush. One may
shape into small cakes and sunbake or oven bake, using only water (or
milk if available) and a little oil or fat.

MESQUITE CORNBREAD
This recipe calls for Peruvian mesquite meal. Sonoran mesquite meal can
also
be used, but you should remember that Sonoran meal is much more like
regular
flour, while the Peruvian is much sweeter and richer. If you'd like to
replace the Peruvian meal in this recipe, try doubling the amount.

8 mini pumpkins
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 cup water
2 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoon blue cheese
Cut the top 1/4 off 4 pumpkins, reserving the lids. Cut the remaining
4 pumpkins in half. Reserve seeds from 2 pumpkins. Bake the pumkins,
cut side down, on lightly oiled baking sheets in a preheated 350
degree oven for 40 minutes or until they are tender. When they are
cool enough to handle, scrape all the pulp out of the halved
pumpkins. Scrape most of the pulp out of the remaining pumpkins,
leaving just enough in each pumpkin so that it retains its shape.
In a skillet cook the onion in butter over low heat, stirring, until
the onion is softened. Add the pumpkin pulp, the chicken stock and
the water and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes.
Reduce the oven heat to 250 degrees. In a bowl, toss the reserved
seeds with the oil and salt to taste and spread them out on an
ungreased baking sheet. Bake the seeds in the middle of the oven,
stirring occasionally, for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours or until they are
golden and crisp.
Heat the soup and warm the hollowed out pumpkin shells in the oven.
Arrange the shells in 4 soup plates, fill each shell with some of the

recipe
Combine dry ingredients. Add oil and water and mix until dough
forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl. (Because
mesquite beans and meal have a tendency to pick up any
moisture from the atmosphere, the amount of water needed will
vary with the weather). Lightly grease a cookie sheet or flat pan.
Form the dough into a half-sphere loaf on the pan. Bake for 30
minutes at 350 degrees.
I mix this all at once and store it in sealed plastic bags for later
use. It is premixed and all I need to do is add water and fry. When
the grandchildren come I can make a quick snack. Just mix and fry in
hot shortening. Put fried bread in a paper bag, add 1/2 cup
confectioner's sugar and shake. You can also use fresh honey for your
fry bread...yummy!!! I make the best fry bread, if you do not believe
me ask my grandchildren.
Put 2 cups of mixture each into small plastic bags and seal until
ready to use.
To each 2 cups flour mixture add 3/4 cup water and mix well. Drop
into hot oil or shortening with a spoon. Fry until golden brown and
drain on paper towel. Place bread in bag of powdered sugar and dust
or eat with all other foods.
For cut fry bread use only 1/2 cup water and turn dough into a floured
board. Pat until approximately 1/4 -inch thick. Cut with a knife
into 3 inch squares and put a slit in center for even frying. ENJOY

Ground venison, run twice through the grinder (and only AFTER
freezing, never before), may be used in all the varied ways of using
hamburger. This is easily the most versatile form in which to use
venison, and one that disguises a variety of of shortcomings in the
meat--from excessive age and lack of fat to an overly strong flavor.
Grinding venison into hamburger is the ultimate tenderizer.

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand for 5
minutes. In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and lard.
Knead thoroughly, and then add the yeast mixture and continue to knead
until it has reached a dough consistency.
Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel and set in a warm dark place to let
rise for 45 minutes.
Divide dough in half and knead again to remove any air pockets. Place each
half in a separate aluminum pan and press the dough down.
Push the coals and ashes of the fire to one side, but do not put fire out.
Place the aluminum pans on the clean ground of the open fire oven, and bake
for 45 minutes.

Almost every pueblo in New Mexico has its own version of bread pudding, and
it is a common feast day dessert, the designated day of each pueblo’s
patron saint given to them by the Spanish. All bread puddings are
delicious, but each varies slightly. Note that the hot water added to the
melted sugar causes the sugar to crystallize, but the sugar dissolves with
heating.
2. Preheat oven to 300F. Spray 5x9-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking oil,
and set aside until ready to use.
3. Cover bottom of loaf pan with 2 cups cubed bread. Sprinkle half raisins
and half walnuts over bread. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon over raisins and walnuts. Cover with 1 cup grated cheese. Add
remaining 2 cups bread, and pat down so layers are firm. Make next layer,

6 cups of flour
1 cup of lard
3 table spoons baking powder
1 table spoon salt
3 1/2 cups warm water
6 cups of flour
1 cup of lard
3 table spoons baking powder
1 table spoon salt
3 1/2 cups warm water
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix all the ingrediants together, EXCEPT WATER
in a large bowl, by hand. slowly add water little by little to form a a dry
dough. That is the trick with bannock the dough must not be too wet. Mix
the
mixture by hand to make sure that all of the ingrediants are blended
together into
a nice dough. Spread the dough out in a 16' well greased baking pan. Bake
in
the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
You can add rasins or currants to the dough before baking. I like to cover
the top of the bread when it is fresh out of the oven with lots of butter
and
let it melt over the top. The kids especially like it with peanut butter or
stawberries in honey syrup, which is a recipe that I will soon post. Hope

1 water
1 cup ground corn meal
1 cup cooked beans with juice
1 salt
First put on a large pot of water so that it will be boiling when you
are ready for it. DO NOT ADD SALT TO THE WATER.... Mix equal
quantities (try 1 c.: 1 c. first, to see if you like them) ground
corn meal and cooked beans with juice (pinto beans are what I usually
use but any good dry bean will work fine). Add more bean juice if
necessary to make it damp, but not too wet. DO NOT ADD SALT.
Take a quantity in hand and roll into a ball. Drop in rapidly boiling
water and let cook. When it floats to the top, it is done. Most of
the time the water will have washed off some of the cornmeal in these
forming a gravy of its own. Serve in a bowl, NOW salt to taste, cover

Gather the mushrooms and wash thoroughly. Rake out fire coals, lay
mushrooms on the coals, sprinkle with salt, turn over until well
done. Eat with bread or dumplings. In later years when it has been
easier to get grease, some folks fried these mushrooms in grease. The
ones cooked in the coals are better.

These are made with mesquite flour ground from pods harvested from native
mesquite trees planted along my brother and I’s neighborhood’s streets
during
our annual tree plantings. Our bees visited the same trees and made the
honey.
We like to celebrate the desert’s bounty by giving these holiday bars to
our
neighbors (especially those that helped us plant the trees).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 8-inch square pans.
In a large saucepan, slowly heat honey, water, and butter until butter is
melted and honey is liquid. Mix flour, mesquite meal, baking powder, and
spices in
a medium bowl. Add to honey mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in
nuts and raisins. Divide batter between pans and spread evenly. Bake for
twenty to twenty five minutes. Over-baking will make the holiday bars very
hard.
When properly baked a straw or toothpick will come out clean. Cool in pans;
slice into bars.

I make this recipe for Indian Pudding, when I don't have any raisins in the
house. This version is a bit spicier, and a slightly different texture than
'Indian Pudding'
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Lightly grease a 6 or 8 cup soufflé dish with butter.
In a medium-size saucepan over medium-low heat, scald the milk.
While the milk is heating, pour the cream into a
medium sized bowl and stir in the cornmeal, sugar, molasses, salt, and
spices.
Add the cornmeal mixture to the scalded milk and
cook, whisking constantly over medium-low heat until the pudding has
thickened to the consistency of syrup (about 5 minutes).
Remove it from the heat.
In a small bowl with a whisk, beat the eggs.
Add 1/2 cup of the hot cornmeal mixture to the
eggs while whisking rapidly.
Then vigorously whisk the egg mixture back into the remaining cornmeal
mixture.
Add the butter and stir until it melts.
Pour the pudding into the prepared baking dish,
and place the dish in a shallow baking pan on the center oven rack.
Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come
two-thirds of the way up the sides of the pudding baking dish.
Bake the pudding until it is set and a tester
inserted close to but not in the center comes
out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.
Remove the pudding from the water bath and cool slightly.
Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream or heavy cream spooned over the top.

My great-grandmother got the recipe from a very old book. We could not make
out the copyright date or who the publisher was. My family usually makes
this recipe during the Holy Week of Lent because we are fasting and it
helps with our hunger because of it's thick consistency.
Sincerely,
Robyn Garcia
If the title of this piece sounds suspiciously like a recipe to you, your
thinking cap is on straight. But it is more than a recipe. The story behind
the recipe dates back close to a century in Connecticut, and probably even
further back in the annals of American history.
Recently Alta, who swats a pretty mean tennis ball, brought in Indian
Pudding. I had a chance to sample it with a liberal dousing of
half-and-half.
'Magnificent,' was my reaction, and when Alta reeled off the simple
ingredients therein--and the history of this tasty dessert--I asked for the
recipe.
Page 539
Alta recalls her grandmother (the late Hazel Hill of Branford) making this
dessert when she was a child. Her grandmother was 91 years old when she
died in 1986. Alta says her grandmother, in turn, had eaten Indian Pudding
as a child, and that her father, Ward Hill, believes Indian Pudding dates
back more than 200 years. This would mean this delightful desert probably
got its name from the fact that it was a dish of native Americans of that
area . . . that era. Directions:
Serve warm or cold with ice cream, cream, whipped cream, or hard sauce.
The Indians showed the Pilgrims how best to grow this staple--a fish
planted alongside the kernals in a mound, providing a ready source of
fertilizer. And the Pilgrims quickly became dependent on the dish, adopting
it into familiar dishes. Cornbread, also known as hoecake, ashcake,
spidercake, or johnnycake was a staple of any traveler during this period,
since cornbread didn't spoil as easily as other breads. Topped with
molasses, it gave cooks the idea for Indian pudding, still a favorite in
New England.
PANOCHA BREAD
Mix the whole wheat flour and sprouted wheat flour thoroughtly,
add one half the boiling water, and stir well. Set aside and cover.
Let stand for 15 minutes; then add the rest of the water. If sugar
is used, caramelize the sugar, add 1 cup boiling water, and when
sugar is dissolved, add to flour mixture. Boil mixture for 2 hours,
add butter, and place uncovered in oven for 1 hour or until is is
quite thick and deep brown. Some people prefer to leave sugar out,
as the sprouted wheat has its own sugar. Serve cold with cream or
ice cream or cool whip.

PAPADZULES
This is a classic Mayan dish from Yucatán made with the minimum of
ingredients. Warmed corn tortillas are dipped into a pumpkin seed sauce
from which the green oil has been extracted, and flavored with epazote. The
tortillas are filled with chopped hard-cooked egg and topped with a tomato
sauce. The final touch is given by little decorative pools of the green
oil. Great care has to be taken to ensure that these ingredients are the
freshest slightly rancid or bitter pumpkin seeds can ruin it and great care
also should be taken in the preparation. Have ready a warmed, not hot,
serving dish or warmed individual dishes.
Put the water, epazote, and salt into a small pan and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Spread the pumpkin seeds in a thin layer over the bottom of a large skillet
and heat through gently over low heat, turning them over from time to
time. The seeds will swell, but take care not to let them become even
slightly golden or the sauce will lose its fresh green color. You might
want to keep a lid handy because often some of the seeds will start jumping
out of the pan. Spread the seeds onto a metal tray to cool completely
before grinding to avoid the blades seizing up with the volatile oil.
Put the ground seeds onto a plate that has a slight ridge around the rim.
Measure out 1/4 C. (63ml) of the epazote broth and little by little
sprinkle it don't, for goodness' sake, pour the whole lot over the seeds
and work it with your hands, first having put the telephone on automatic
answering. Gradually add the liquid until you have a crumbly but cohesive
paste.
Tilt the plate a little to one side and put a folded cloth underneath to
hold it in that position. Start squeezing the paste and you will see that
drops of oil will begin to extrude. Add a little more warm liquid if
necessary — you probably won't need the whole amount — and keep squeezing
until you have collected almost 4 T. of dark green oil. (This is pure
vitamin E, and great for the hands.) Crumble the paste into a blender jar,
add the remaining strained epazote broth, if desired, and blend until
Page 541
smooth.
Transfer the sauce to a skillet and warm through over the lowest possible
heat, stirring almost constantly because the starch content of the seeds
begins to swell and the particles tend to coagulate in the bottom of the
pan.
Dip one of the warm tortillas into the sauce: it should be lightly covered.
If the sauce is too thick, dilute it with a little extra warm water. Work
as quickly as you can, dipping each tortilla into the sauce, holding it
with tongs but supporting it with a spatula so you don't get left with a
bit of broken tortilla in your tongs. Sprinkle some of the chopped egg
across one-third of the tortilla, roll it up, and place it on the warmed
dish.
When all the papadzules are assembled, pour the remaining sauce over them.
(If the sauce has thickened and become grainy looking, put it back into the
blender with a little extra warm water and blend until smooth.) Now pour
on the tomato sauce and sprinkle the chopped egg whites and yolks. Decorate
with the optional epazote. As a final touch, spoon in little pools of the
oil. Serve immediately or the oil will sink back into the sauce and all
that work will have been for naught! Of course, it is more colorful and
attractive to serve the papadzules together on one serving dish.

For the venison: In a food processor, pulse the pecans until they are
coarse and are still textured. (Do not puree the pecans because the
crust will be too wet) Add the bread crumbs and Essence. Season each
medallion with salt and pepper. Rub each medallion with the Creole
mustard, coating each side completely. Crust each medallion with the
pecan crust. (Every inch of the medallion needs to be crusted
completely). For the mash: The potatoes should be roasted for 40
minutes at 425 degrees. Remove skin from the roasted sweet potatoes
and place in a sauce pot. Over low heat, partially mash the sweet
potatoes. Add the cream, bourbon and butter, continue to mash until
all the ingredients are incorporated and the potatoes are smooth but

From 'Indian Nations,' by Lois Ellen Frank, who lived for more than 15
years on reservations in the Southwest documenting techniques and recipes
from Native American cooks. Almost every pueblo has its own version of
bread pudding, and she says she has seen bread pudding served at every
feast day she's attended. This recipe is from the Picuris Pueblo in
Picuris, located in an isolated valley in the northern hills of New Mexico
where the Anasazi once lived. Grease a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan with butter or
lard and cover the bottom with 2 cups bread crumbs. Spread 1 1/2 cups
cheese over bread crumbs.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar over
cheese.
Add remaining 2 cups bread crumbs. Pat down so the layers are firm.
Make a second layer, using remaining grated cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon and
1/4 cup sugar.
Heat remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring
occasionally until the sugar has melted. Add water and let sugar syrup
dissolve. (Sometimes, when you add water, the sugar syrup will harden, but
it will melt again from the heat.)
Add butter and stir constantly until it has melted with syrup, 3-5 minutes.
Pour over layers in loaf pan and poke all around with a fork to make sure
the syrup has saturated the bottom.
Preheat oven to 300. Bake the loaf for 30-40 minutes, until cheese has
browned and the sugar syrup is bubbling. Remove from the oven, place on a
wire rack and cool.
Cut into 1 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with Prickly Pear Syrup. Use
fresh apricots or peaches as garnish if they are in season.
Prickly Pear Syrup: This cactus-fruit syrup is often sold in tourist shops
and is sometimes available in specialty food stores. To make it, you need
12 prickly pear fruits washed, cut into quarters (skin on) and run in a
food processor until the fruit is pulpy and thoroughly blended. Press
liquid through a fine sieve, discard skins and seeds.
In a nonreactive saucepan, combine prickly pear juice with 1/4 cup honey
and 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice and bring to a boil over
medium-high heat. Decrease heat and simmer 10 minutes, until mixture has
thickened. Remove from heat and let cool. Syrup will thicken further as it
Page 552
cools. May be stored, refrigerated, for 1-2 weeks. Makes about 1 cup.
PIKI
1 x no ingredients
The Pueblos have the distinction of making what must be the thinnest bread
in the world--piki. It does rather an injustice to it to call piki simply
"paper bread," for its layers are at least as thin as tissue paper and
often
look like they are composed of more air than bread. In the traditional
recipe, a thin batter is made from blue cornmeal and water that has been
soaked with juniper ashes. The cook sits before a flat stone that has been
heated in a fire, armed with no other implement than one whole sheep's
brain. This she uses to grease the stone, after which she spreads a thin
layer of piki batter across the entire surface with a deft sweep of her
hand. When the papery sheet of corn batter crinkles and dries, it is
lifted
off. Three or four stacked sheets rolled together into a scroll make one
piki.
As it turns out piki is easy to duplicate at home if you have any size
skillet coated with a nonstick surface (a 7-8" pan is ideal). The batter is
brushed onto the pan bottom with a bristle brush (nylon might melt) and
lifted off in layers as thin as gossamer. Suprisingly, the procedure is
not
delicate at all, because however fragile the piki looks, it is strongly
bound by the gluten in the cornstarch. If you can pour crepe batter and
are
adventurous enough to experiment with homemade tortillas and sopaipillas,
you will have no trouble with piki.
5 T. Masa Harina
2 T. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
1 C. hot water
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, pour in the hot water all at once, and
whisk the batter for a few seconds until it is smooth. Arm yourself with a
1" bristle brush, preferably a good-quality pastry brush or, failing that,
a
paintbrush. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat until it is warm, but do
not grease it. The size does not much matter, since small pikis and large
ones are equally easy to lift once they dry thoroughly. The pan should not
be made so hot that the batter sizzles when yu try to brush it on, for the
action of the nonstick material will then cause it to bead up. What you
want is a layer of batter spread onto the pan like a layer of paint.
Take the skillet up iin one hand and brush on a layer of batter, using this
at right angles to it--in other words, you are painting in a crosshatch. Do
not worry about holes in the surface, since even a coating almost
imperceptible to the eye will cook into bread. Return the skillet to the
heat and cook for about a minute. The batter has to sizzle and evaporate
all its moisture before it is done. As soon as the hissing stops and the
Page 554
surface of the bread looks dry and crinkly, peel it off with your fingers
by
starting up one edge with a table knife, then grasping it by hand and
pulling up on top. The layer will peel away easily. Lay it on paper
toweling or a baking rack to dry completely and proceed to make 3 more
pikis
to lay on top. Do not place the piki on a plate once baked, since further
steaming causes them to become too sticky--a few moments on paper towels
completes their drying out.
Once you have 4 layers, roll them loosely into a scroll and set aside.
Cook
the breads in this fashion until you have made 2 per person. Serve
slightly
warm or at room temperature with a good sals and your main-course dish,
preferably a Pueblo stew.
NOTES: One small problem abut baking the piki is that a skillet hot enough
to dry out the dough is too hot to brush with more batter right away. It
helps to have two pans on hand, one to cool while the other bakes. Also,
piki dough tends to become gummy on the brush, which needs washing once
that
becomes a nuisance. Finally, if the batter in the bowl looks too thick at
any point, you can dilute it with water or simply make up a new batch.
VARIATION:
Piki in Blue, Yellow and Pink: In ceremonial and festive use, the Pueblos
often color this bread, using blue cornmeal for the blue, ground coxcomb
for
the pink and safflower for yellow. For blue piki, make a batter from 3 T.
blue cornmeal, 2 T. Masa Harina and 3 T. cornstarch, plus the water and
salt
in the basic recipe. For pink and yellow breads, simply add a few drops of
food coloring to the basic batter as you whisk it up.

During the summer, powwows are held throughout the Heartland, celebrating
the dances and foodways of Native American tribes ranging from the Osage,
Omaha, and Kiowa to the Sioux and Comanche. Fry bread is usually on the
menu, whether cooked and sold by vendors or cooked by locals in the
communal kitchen and dining hall. Fry bread is a relatively recent addition
to the Native American diet. When the Dakota tribes encountered explorers
Pierre Radisson and Medard Chouart in the late 1600s, they gave the men
gifts of the grains they grew and gathered , corn and wild rice, meant to
be boiled and eaten as gruel, not for bread. But eventually a new word for
bread crept into the Dakota language, aguyap, or 'they burn it' , after the
flatbreads that were baked by soldiers or voyageurs at camp sites. During
the late nineteenth century when native Americans were confined to
reservations, they were given staple foods like flour, baking powder,
powdered milk, and lard. At first they made a bannock-like bread that was
quickly mixed, then baked in the oven. Later, they rolled the dough out,
cut it into squares or shaped it into circles, and fried it.
This recipe is adapted from one by Marion Ironstar in Our Daily Bread, a
community cookbook from Enemy Swim Lake, Waubay, South Dakota. Serve the
fry breads as the basis for savory 'Indian tacos,' topped with seasoned
taco meat, shredded lettuce, and chopped tomato, or drizzle with a wild
berry syrup for dessert.
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, dry milk, and salt
together. Stir in the water until you have a sticky dough.
2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and sprinkle with flour. Roll
out to a 16-by-12-inch rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into
twenty-four 2-inch squares. Cut a 1/2-inch slit in the middle of each
square.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat onions, bell peppers, carrot and
ears of corn with nonstick cooking spray. Place in single layers on cookie
sheets and roast about 15 minutes, turning ears of corn once, or until
vegetables begin to caramelize. When corn cools, cut kernels from the cobs;
discard cobs and reserve kernels in a bowl.
Lightly coat poblano chiles with olive oil. Roast chiles over an open flame
until skin chars all around. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap
for 10 minutes. Scrap off skin. Seed and dice the chiles.
Put roasted onion, peppers, carrot, chicken stock, cream, garlic, cumin and
oregano in a large pot and bring to a rolling boil. Combine flour and
butter to form a paste (roux). Stir roux into the boiling soup to thicken
in. Reduce heat, add chiles and corn to soup, and heat through. Season with
salt and pepper.

PUMPKIN BREAD
The Miccosukee and Seminole people of Florida were originally part of the
Creek Nation, an association of clan villages in what is now Alabama and
Georgia. The two groups, who today live in Florida, share many traditions,
including good food.
Fried pumpkin bread and Indian burgers (fry bread stuffed with cooked
ground beef) are favorite snacks at Seminole and Miccosukee powwows and
festivals, as well as with everyday meals. While Indian burgers are popular
nation-wide, our friend, Marie Osceola, a descendant of famous Seminole
chief Osceola, who travels to Native American gatherings across the
country, has only seen pumpkin bread in Florida.
When making pumpkin bread, some traditional cooks still use fresh pumpkin.
Debbie Tiger of the Miccosukee Tribe's Information Center recalls that her
husband's aunt, Irene Tiger, also made a wonderful old-fashioned version
with mashed sweet potatoes. Today, many Seminole and Miccosukee cooks use
canned pumpkin and self-rising flour.
Lorraine Flock, Nutrition Services Coordinator for the Miccosukee Tribe of
Florida, gave us a tip that comes from the Miccosukee restaurant on the
Tamiami Trail. After mixing the dough, refrigerate for about 2 hours, then
divide into portions that can be kneaded on a floured board and rolled into
2 1/2- by 8-inch cylinders. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate
for up to one day before frying, or it may be frozen. When ready to fry,
slice the dough into 4 to 5 equal pieces. Flour hands and flatten each
piece into a round about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick.
If frozen, allow rounds to come to room temperature before frying.
Place 2 cups of flour in a large mixing bowl. In 12 another bowl, combine
pumpkin, warm milk, and sugar.
Make a well in the flour and pour in pumpkin mixture. Flour hands, and with
the fingers and thumbs, gradually mix flour and pumpkin into a soft dough.
Using four fingers, scoop up a portion of dough and roll into a smooth
ball. On a floured surface, pat the ball into a round about 4 inches in
diameter and not more than 1/2-inch thick. Place oil in a deep fryer, or
fill a well-seasoned cast iron skillet a little more than halfway with oil.
Heat oil to 350 F. Carefully lower dough into oil and fry for 4 to 5
minutes, turning after 2 minutes, until bread is a rich golden brown on
both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. If desired, serve
with butter and honey or maple syrup, or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Makes about 20 servings.

To make the pumpkin sauce and ice cream, beat the egg yolks and sugar
together in a large bowl. Set aside.
Heat the milk and vanilla bean in a saucepan over high heat. Stir
constantly until it almost reaches boiling poingt. Remove from the
heat and slowly whisk the hot milk into the egg and sugar mixture.
Return the misture to the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir
constantly about 10 minutes to thicken mixture. Do not allow mixture
to boil or it will curdle.
Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove
it from the heat and add the pureed pumpkin. Stir until completely
mixed.
Put 2 cups of the mixture in a bowl and add to it the ground cloves,
nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix together well and set over ice, stirring
occasionally, until cool, then refrigerate. This pumpkin sauce will
last up to 5 days refrigerated in a covered container.
Pour the remainder of the egg-pumpkin mixture into another bowl. Set
over ice, stirring occasionally, until it has cooled completely, then
place in an ice cream machine and freeze according to the
manufacturer's instructions. The ice cream will last several weeks
in a covered container in the freezer.
To make the pumpkin bread, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sift
together the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla an dmix
well.

Stir in the pumpkin puree and the dry ingredients, mix well, and
fold in the pinons.
Pour the batter into 2 greased 5-X-9 inch loaf pans and bake 45
minutes, until the bread springs back when touched.
*** NOTE *** To roast pinons, also known as pine nuts, place them in a
frying pan over medium heat and stir constantly so that they brown
evenly, 3 to 5 minutes. No butter or oil is needed because the nuts
contain natural oils. ************************

PURSLANE CASSEROLE
You can also blanch the leaf tips and freeze for latter use. I have
found that it keeps well and makes a good addition to my soups and
stews. This is a good idea if you have an "anti-greens" family since
they will never know that they are receiving such a high vitamin wild
veggie hidden in their favorite stew.
Purslane pickles are my favorite and you can adapt any of your
favorite pickle recipes to accommodate purslane stems. I found the
following recipe at Purslane, along with several other recipes. This
site is worth checking out for many more purslane ideas.

1 braces of quail
3 cup stock of crawfish
1 shells/heads, onion, garlic,
1 carrots and water.
1 pan of cornbread
1 cup onion
1 1/2 cup red bell pepper
1 cup celery
1 clove garlic
1 stick of butter
1 lb crawfish tail meat
1 spice mixtures:
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon red pepper (cayenne)
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
You'll need a brace of quail per person. Pluck and draw the birds;
don't even think about skinning them.
Crawfish Dressing:
You'll need about three or four cups of stock. I make my stock from
scratch using crawfish shells/heads, onion, garlic, carrots and
water. Use about six cups of water to make 3 cups of stock. Bring
ingredients to a boil and simmer until reduced to 3 to 4 cups. NOTE:
you can use can chicken or duck stock if you can't find whole
crawfish (many places will sell you the cleaned tails in a vacuumed
packed packages). Also, heaven forbid, you could use a canned chicken
broth if you don't want to make a stock.
To make the dressing you will need cornbread. So bake it or buy it. I
can't really tell you how much exactly. I use as much as it takes to
absorb the liquids. I make a 9 inch cast-iron skillet's worth. I also
use white cornbread but it doesn't really matter that much.
Now that you have your stock and cornbread here is how you make it.
Chop the following: onion bell pepper (I use red ones) celery garlic
Make the spice mixture. Melt a stick of butter in a large skillet.
saute veggies in butter until tender. add spice mixture to veggies
add the three cups of stock and simmer a few minutes longer.
with a slotted spoon, remove all veggies and crawfish and place into
a food processor or blender. lightly process (I usually don't over
do it here. I like to have small bits of crawfish in the dressing).
Stuff the quail with the dressing and baste with butter. Roast birds
at 325 degrees, basting as often as needed. Roast time is dependent
upon number of birds. Once the skin turns a light golden brown, check
by trying to seperate one of the tiny little legs from the quail. If
it pulls from the side easily it's done. Explaining when a roasted
bird is done is hard for me to do. It's just something you gotta know.
Serve this with the remainder of the crawfish stuffing and a what ever
veggies you desire.
One other note of importance: Crawfish are not in season during the
start of quail season so use this recipie later in the season. It's
a cold weather dish anyhow. One other thing, do *not* substitute
shrimp for crawfish; they're completely different tasting crustaceans.

Notes: Up to 1 day ahead, make grain stuffing and bake squash. Reheat grain
mixture in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until steaming, 9 to 11
minutes; stir occasionally. Spoon hot filling into cold cooked squash and
bake, covered, in a 350 [degrees] oven until interior of the squash is hot,
about 35 minutes1. Rinse squash, pierce each with a fork several times,
and set in a 10- by 15- inch pan. Add 3/4 cup water to pan and cover
tightly with foil.
2. Bake in a 350 [degrees] oven until the squash are tender when pierced,
45 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Add olive oil, onions, and celery to the pan; stir over medium-high heat
until the onions are limp, about 6 minutes. Add vegetable broth, wild
rice, and sage. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat, and
simmer for 40 minutes. Stir in quinoa, cover, and simmer until both of the
grains are tender to bite, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
6. When the squash are cooked, hold with a thick towel to protect hands,
and cut 1/2 to 3/4 inch off tops (or sides of Delicata) to form lids. Scoop
out and discard seeds. If needed, trim a little off squash bases so they
sit steady and level.
7. Mound grain stuffing into squash cavities. Set squash lids on filling
and serve, adding salt to taste.

The day before you wish to serve this, place the rabbit in a GLASS
bowl and pour on the red wine. Cover and refrigerate overnight,
turning the pieces once. An hour before cooking, remove the rabbit
from the wine, and pat dry with paper towels.
Add the garlic and saute, stirring, for 5 minutes, until beginning to
brown. Spread in a single layer and return rabbit pieces to the pot.
Add the red wine, thyme, rosemary, and more salt and pepper to taste,
and cover tightly.
Place the pan in the oven and bake 1 hour or until the rabbit pieces
are falling away from the bone.
When the rabbit is very tender, remove pieces and the garlic and
place on a platter. Place the pot over high heat and reduce the wine
until thick. Pour over rabbit. Sprinkle with parsley and serve,
placing a couple of croutons on each plate, a piece of rabbit or two,
and several garlic cloves, which are to be squeezed out onto the
croutons.
CROUTONS: Slice French Baguette very thin (1/4-1/2 inch) and brush
slices with olive oil. Place on a cookie sheet and toast a few
minutes in 350 degree oven. This can be done while sauteing rabbit.

RACCOON:
Buck met his first garbage can dweller emptying 55-gallon drums of
tourist trash in a county park in northern Michigan. It proved to be a
feast of no small proportions--it's flat out delicious when roasted.
Make sure you get those scent glands off from under the front legs
and thighs.
Roadside
Many of these animals have stink glands, usually under their
forelegs and along the small of their back. They must be removed.
Remove all fat, cleaning the carcass carefully so no glands are
ruptured on the good meat.
Home
Many gourmets would soak a carcass overnight in salt water. Young
animals won't need more than 8 hours in the tub, while old critters
could stand a 24-hour soak. Some would add a cup of vinegar and a
pinch of salt to each quart of water.
Beaver
This friendly vegetarian is prized by old trappers and reprobates.

The small yearlings are so tender when cooked properly that all
you'll need is a spoon. On Bucky Beaver, Take care to remove all the
fat and musk glands or castors just under the skin in front of the
genitals. Soak the critter overnight and then cook it is as you would
a large bird. If, However, your furry friend had its castors and
cajones unproperly stirred by a Toyota 4X4, you have just one good
option left:
BEAVER TAIL:
Skin the tail and wash it well. Cover in a pot with water and a
couple tablespoons of vinegar. Cook until tender. Drain and cut into
slices like a London Broil. Dip slices in beaten egg and roll in
bread crumbs. Fry until golden brown.

RATTLESNAKE CHILE
NOTE: Huntin' your own rattler is not recommended! Check with your
local butcher or specialty food store.
DIRECTIONS:
If you're using fresh chiles, roast, cool, peel, seed and chop to
yield about 1 1/2 cups. Test for spiciness: some chiles are hotter
than others, and you may not need to add this much. Set aside.
Fry the bacon until crisp, and set aside to cool. In a large soup pot,
saute the onions and garlic in about 2 Tbsp of the bacon drippings
until transparent. Add the cornmeal and chopped tomatoes with their
juice, the chopped green chiles, cumin, chili powder, oregano and 1
cup of water. Simmer for half an hour.
Meanwhile, seed and chop the jalapeno peppers, (avoid touching the
seeds and take care not to rub your eyes). Add the chopped pepper and
1/2 cup of water to a blender and puree. Add about half the
water/pepper mix to the pot, saving the rest to be added to taste
later. Continue to simmer the chile base for another 15 minuttes.
Drain the beans and stir them into the pot. Remove about 1 1/2 cups
of the chile and puree in a blender with the peanut butter and
chocolate (these ingredients mellow the acidity of the chiles and
allow the flavors to come through, without imparting any of their own
flavor). Return to the pot.

Cut the venison into large chunks and marinate for about 24 hours in
the water and vinegar with 2 bay leaves and plenty of pepper.
Make the forcemeat mixture, seasoning it well and binding it with the
lightly beaten egg. Shape into 24 small balls, fry briskly until
golden- brown and crisp and reserve. Then fry the mushrooms hard in
a very little hot fat. Remove and reserve separately.
Drain and dry the meat well, reserving the marinade. Dust the
venison with well-seasoned flour and brown and seal in batches.
Transfer it to a 4 pint flameproof casserole; ideally this should be
no more than 8 inches in diameter across the top. Chop the onion
finely and fry gently. Sprinkle on 2 tablespoons flour, pour on the
marinade liquid and the stock over the meat and season with salt,
pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 2 bay leaves.
Bring to a bare simmer, cover tightly and cook over the lowest
possible flame (or in a low oven if you prefer) until the meat is
deliciously tender and the gravy is dark and rich. Shoulder meat may
need as little as 1 1/2 hours, lesser cuts of meat will need
considerably more. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. When
ready, remove the bay and check seasoning. Cool and refrigerate
overnight if not to be served on the same day.
Roast the chiles by the Oven or Open-Flame methods then peel, seed,
devein, and chop them. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

1 young boar
1 stuffing -
1 cup bread-crumbs
1/2 chopped onion
2 teaspoon powdered sage
3 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 well-beaten eggs
Stuffing -
Mix all ingredients, except the eggs, moisten with half a cup of warm
water (or milk), beat in the eggs, and stuff the pig into his natural
size and shape. Sew him up, and bend his feet backwards, his
hind-feet forward, under and close body. Skewering them into the
proper position. Dry the pig well, and dredge with flour. Put it to
roast with a little hot water, slightly salted, in-the dripping-pan.
Baste with butter and water three times as the pig gradually warms,
afterward with the dripping. When it begins to smoke or steam, rub it
over, every five minutes or so, with a cloth dipped in melted butter.
Do not omit this precaution if you would have the skin tender and
soft after it begins to brown. A month-old pig will require about an
hour and three quarters or two hours-sometimes longer-to roast.
If your pig is large, you can cut off his head and split him down the
back before sending to table. Do this with a sharp knife, and lay
the backs together. It's best to display a whole roast, it gives a
nice presentation. Place roast kneeling in a bed of green parsley,
alternately with branches of whitish-green celery tops (the inner and
tender leaves). Place a garland around his neck, and in his mouth a
tuft of white cauliflower, surrounded by curled parsley.
Gravy: Skim your gravy well,add a little hot water, thicken with brown
flour, boil up once, strain. Add half a glass of wine and half the
juice of a lemon, serve in a tureen.
In carving the pig, cut off the head first; then split down the back,
take off hams and shoulders, and separate the ribs.

You'll want to use acorns from the so-called "soft" oak species
(White Oak, Swamp White Oak, Chestnut Oak, Post Oak, Bur Oak, etc,.(
the species with rounded lobes on their leaves), as they are lower in
tannic acid and therefore less bitter than acorns from the so-called
"hard" oak species (Black Oak, Scarlet Oak, Northern Oak, Pin Oak,
etc., all of which have leaves with pointy lobes). To make acorn
flour, shell the acorns, and (if their bitterness is still too strong
for your taste) leach some of the tannic acid out by boiling the
shelled nuts for a few minutes in several changes of water. Dry the
nut meats out (e.g., by spreading them out on a cookie sheet and
sticking them in a warm oven for a few hours), then pulverize in a
food processor until it's the consistency of flour or a fine-grained
meal. The delicious and distinctive flavor of the acorn flour will be
quite evident in the muffins despite the fact that it makes up only
1/3 of the flour used in this recipe.

Cover sage hen with water in a kettle that is just large enough
around to hold it. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, let simmer 15
min, and turn heat off. Put a towel or a layer of foil around the
cover to make sure the seal is tight. Let sit for at least 1 hr or
until kettle is not too hot to touch. If your sage hen is this size,
this amount of cooking should do the trick. If not, bring to a boil
again and let sit for another 1/2 hr.
Bone out and cut the meat into dice. Reserve 1 1/2 c cooking liquid.
Layer meat, gravy, crumbs, repeating once or until all are used. Bake
uncovered at 350 for 15-20 min.

Carefully rinse cactus pads; pat dry. Holding cactus pads with tongs, use a
small, sharp knife to carefully trim off eyes around edges and on both
sides
of pads; discard. Cut cactus pads into thin strips (you should have about 2
cups). In a large skillet cook cactus with onion and sweet pepper in
margarine or butter about 3 minutes or until onion is tender. In a bowl
beat
eggs, milk, chili powder, salt, and black pepper with a fork. Pour egg
mixture over vegetables in skillet. Cook over medium heat, without
stirring,
until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around the edge. Using a
spatula or large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked eggs so the
uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over medium heat about
5
minutes more or until eggs are cooked through, but are still glossy and
moist. Remove from heat. If desired, serve with tortillas and salsa.
Tip: Nopales, the fleshy, oval pads of the prickly pear cactus, are showing
up in many supermarkets. Cooked, they’re soft but crunchy, with the
slipperiness of okra and flavor of green beans. The pads have tiny, sharp
thorns that usually are removed at the market. To remove any thorns,
carefully hold the pad and scrape with a paring knife. Use the tip of a
sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the thorn bases and any
blemishes.
NOTE: To lower the cholesterol in this recipe, use an egg substitute or egg
whites.

SEMINOLE FRYBREAD:
Make a well in the center and pour in the melted lard (or other fat)
and honey if you are using it, and some water. Gently stir flour into the
well, mixing in more water as needed to make a firm dough. knead just a
minute or two to make dough springy.
Cover with cloth and let sit for 15 minutes to an hour. Meanwhile heat
lard or oil in frying pan. When the oil is ready, pat out small rounds of
dough and fry into golden brown.
This is a bread that is served with Turtle Stew with Dumplings. I got it
from a southeastern heritage festival, which is held every year in
Tallahassee, FL. A story-teller there had a recipe to share for all of us
who were magnets for such stuff. I did not get her name, sorry.

Mix canned pumpkin with self-rising flour in a ratio of about one to two.
You have to work with hands until well blended. (i.e., mush it through your
fingers). You want to get to a dough that is about as elastic as silly
putty. If it stays sticky, add a little flour. If it doesn't hold together,
add a little pumpkin. Form patties about the size of a fast food hamburger
patty. Fry in about 1/2' of hot oil. It should puff up and float. When
golden brown on one side, turn over and do the other side to a golden
brown.
If it cooks to toasty brown, you've over cooked it. Drain and serve.

have done Seminole Pumpkin Bread several times with Webelos Boy
Scouts. That's right in your 10 & 11 age group. People like it because it's
messy and surprisingly good.
Everybody gets a paper plate. On it, put one full tablespoon of canned
pumpkin and two heaping tablespoons of self-rising flour. (Don't use
pumpkin
pie mix.)
Mix the two together with your fingers. You can't just dab at it. You
have to grab it and squeeze it between your fingers so that it is the same
consistency all the way through. Your dough should get to be the same
slightly elastic consistency as Playdo. If it's too sticky, add a little
flour. If it's too crumbly, add a little pumpkin.
Take a piece of dough about the size of a pingpong ball and flatten it
out to a patty about a quarter of an inch thick, like a fast food hamburger
patty. Put into 1/2' to 3/4' hot shortening in a frying pan. It should puff
up slightly and float to the top. When one side is golden brown, turn over
and cook the other side. Don't overcook or it will be hard.
Drain on paper towels and eat.
I always do this with open cans of peach slices. Canned peaches were a
very big item with Seminoles at the trading posts. I announce that I'm now
going to demonstrate how to eat peaches Seminole style, then I reach in the
can and grab a slice with my fingers. I encourage eveerybody else to try a
slice that way. I also encourage them to dip the pumpkin bread they made
into the peach juice.
Because not everybody has their dough ready at the same time, I only
need to have two frying pans going for 20-30 people. The session uses one
can of shortening, one bag of self-rising flour, 4 or 5 cans of pumpkin,
and
3 or 4 cans of peaches. If you use bigger cans for the pumpkin or peaches,
adjust quantity accordingly. Amazingly, I never need more than a single
roll
of paper towels.
I usually do this session outdoors. The whole thing can be done in 30-40
minutes. B y the way, spreading out newspaper on the table first really
speeds up cleanup.

Crispy and not very sweet, these crackers are perfect to serve with
the Rhubarb Strawberry Drink. They're easy to make, too because you
roll the dough out right on the cookie sheet, cut it into square and
leave them in place to bake. I suggest them for your Midsummer's
party menu.

I would think that this could also be cooked in the traditional frying pan
too. The recipe says that it is really good with mint tea.
I found this on the

Shusway Bannock--I haven't tried it yet, but the blueberries in the batter

Fry the bacon, with the garlic, till it is lightly browned in a heavy
bottomed casserole. Add birds and brown on all sides. Add the
mushrooms and nuts, continue to cook for a couple of minutes, then
add the ale and water with the bay leaves.
Bring to the boil, cover and simmer very gently for 2 - 2 1/2 hours--
the birds should be falling off the bone. Remove the birds from the
juices, cool juices completely and remove any excess fat. The birds
can be served whole on or off the bone. If the latter, carve them
while they are cold then return to the skimmed juices and reheat
gently. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve either the whole
birds of the slices on the pieces of bread, with plenty of the juices
and "bits". A good green salad to follow is the best accompaniment.

Beans used to be a larger factor in our diet than these days. While some of
the population have clung to the bean as a staple item on their menu, for
many folks, meats are now their main source of protein. Why should we be
eating more beans? Beans are rich in proteins (not 'complete' proteins) are
naturally fat-free and cholesterol free, are inexpensive, have an
unlimited shelf life (dried), and they just plain taste good.This recipe
reminds me of a souped up version of Cherokee Bean Bread.

Only in the southwest are the blossoms of squash and pumpkin important
as a regligious symbol, as well as food. They appear as sacred symbols
in many Pueblo ceremonies, and gave rise to a popular design worked in
silver. There is a Hopi Squash Kachina (Patung). He is Chief Kachina
(wuya) for the Hopi Pumpkin Clan. He runs with men of a village in
spring ceremonial dances to attract rain clouds. The Hopis and Pueblo
farmers gather large quantities of squash and pumpkin flowers at the
end of the growing season, when these flowers cannot make fruit;
that's the time white farmers harvest their curcurbitae and pull up or
plow under the still-flowering vines.

Clean all loose fat from inside bird. Cut off wing tips at elbow,
cut off neck close to body, cut off tail (the bird's, not yours).
With fork or sharp knife, prick skinn at the base of each wing, the
back of the legs and where thigh meets back. This will prevent
accumulation of melted fat. Rub bird inside and out with lemon juice
and lightly salt the cavity. Place the bird on rack in roaster pan,
breast side up. Add 1 inch of water to the pan, place on top of
stove, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and steam for 1 hour. Add
more water if necessary. Do not burn dry.
To make the stuffing, belt butter in heavy fry pan over medium heat,
lightly saute onion and celery, add mushrooms. Stir croutons, salt,
pepper and all spice. Pour wine over and mix gentlly, remove from
heat.
Preheat over to 325, remove goose from roaster and let cool 15-20
minutes.
Discard the liquid from the botton of the pan. Loosely fill the
cavity of the goose with stuffing, use skewers and string to close
opening, replace goose on rack in roasting pan. Add 2 cups fresh
water and roast covered for 2-3 hours, depending on size of bird.

1 louisiana hot sauce
1 cooking oil
With a very sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that
surrounds each testicle. Remove the skin. Set testicles into a pan
with enough salt water to cover them for one hour (this takes out
some of the blood). Drain. Transfer testicles to large pot. Add
enough water to float testicles and a generous tablespoon of vinegar.
Parboil, drain and rinse. Let cool and slice each testicle into 1/4
inch thick ovals. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of sliced
testicle to taste.
Mix flour, cornmeal and some garlic powder to taste in a bowl. Roll
each slice into this dry mixture. Dip into milk seasoned with hot
sauce. Dip
into dry mixture. Dip into wine quickly (you may repeat the procedure
if a thicker crust is desired).
Place each testicle into hot cooking oil. Cook until golden brown or
tender, and remove with a wire mesh strainer (the longer they cook,
the tougher they get). Drain on paper towels.

This recipe comes from the Stonehouse Restaurant at San Ysidro Ranch
in California. It's an example of how executive chef Gerard Thompson
combines ingredients, flavors and textures of diverse ethnic origins.
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bread
stick and place them on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with
nonstick vegetable coating. Lightly spray the bread sticks with the
nonstick coating and bake until golden brown on the bottom, about 10
to 15 minutes. Turn bread sticks over and bake until other side is
Page 673
To make stir-fry: Trim all visible fat from meat and cut, against the
grain, into quarter-inch strips. Place oil in a nonstick skillet or
wok over high heat. Immediately add meat and toss two times. Add
ginger and garlic and toss two more times. Add carrot, chile and
onion, toss twice more and remove from heat. Add watercress and toss
again to mix well.
To serve: Spoon 1/2 cup sauce onto each of four warm plates. Top with
1 cup of meat mixture and arrange 3 bread sticks in a triangular
pattern on each plate.
Note: When preparing fresh chilies, wear rubber gloves for protection
against oils that later can cause burning sensation on skin.

TAOS BREAD
This Pueblo Indian bread is shaped in the form of the sun-- to honor
the Sun God (who resides in Arizona *:))
Sprinkle yeast into very warm water in large bowl.Stir in yeast until
dissolved, then stir in butter mixture
Turn on to floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic Use only
as much flour as needed to keep dough from sticking.
Place in a greased bowl, turn to coat all over with shortening; cover
with towel and allow to rise for 1.5 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
Punch down; turn onto floured surface and knead a few times Divide
dough into 3 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Cover with
towel and allow to rest for 10 min.
On floured surface, roll each ball into a 9" circle Fold each circle
almost in half. Top circular edge should be about 1: from bottom
circular edge. Place on greased cookie sheet. With kitchen shears,
make about 6 gashes in the dough, cutting from the circular edge
about 2/3 the way inward to the folded edge. Spread the fingers of
the dough apart so they will not touch each other while baking.
Do the same with the remaining 2 balls of dough. Let rise again in a
warm place, away from drafts, for 1 hour, or until doubled.
Bake in mod. oven - 350F for 50 minutes, or until breads are golden

bring this all to a boil. Add the bay leaves and reduce the heat to
low. Simmer the stew 1 hr with the lid ajar, stirring it occasionally.
Toast the cumin seeds 10 min over low heat. Blend them in a blender
until they are a fine powder. Add the soaked chiles, the rest of the
soaking water, and the garlic, oregano, paprika, sugar, and salt.
Blend this until the mess is smooth.
Stir the puree into the stew and cook it 30 more min with the lid
ajar, stirring it occasionally. Then, stirring constantly, add the
cornmeal in a thin stream and bring the chili to a boil. Cook,
stirring all the time, until it seems done. Add the cayenne if you
wish.

Same as Navajo Fry Bread, but cooked outdoors over an open fire on a
grill. Also called Ute tortillas. Gives a toasty crisp taste. Served
with meal of green chilies and roasted meat.
Fried bread, native fast food, is one of the most popular and
widespread of native foods served at pow wows, Indian cowboy rodeos,
festivals and family ggatherings. There are two basic recipes: one
is a yeast-leavened bread dough, and the other is a quicker baking
powder version. Fry bread is served with honey or powered sugar,
chokecherry and saskatoonberry gravy or sauce. Sometimes fresh
sasktoons are mixed into the raw dough. American natives in the south
are known to chop onions and chilies into the dough.
A basket of fried bread and bannock placed in the middle of the dinner
table at the Pitaa Native Dinner Show quickly disappears. Enjoy!

7 cup sugar
1 gal boiling water
1 gal immature white oak leaves
1/4 cup juniper berries
1/4 cup fennel seeds
1/4 cup celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon champagne yeast or other
1 wine yeast
Use immature white oak leaves or leaves of other members of the white
oak group, gathered in early spring, just before the leaves have
reached full size
Here's one of the weirdest wild food experiments I've ever conducted:
making wine from oak leaves. I was completely astonished that I could
make a superb wine that can be used as a table wine, in place of
white wine, or a cooking wine that can be used in virtually any
savory recipe that calls for wine. The flavor is robust, but not
overpowering. The secret is using very young white oak leaves that
have not yet developed a high tannin content.
2. When the liquid has cooled to lukewarm, stir in the yeast and
cover the container with a non-airtight cover, cheesecloth, or towel.
5. When the bubbling stops and fermentation ends a few weeks later,
seal the jug with a cork and let it age for 2 months to 2 years
(taste it to determine if it's ready) before using it.

In a food processor, blend the egg and cottage cheese until smooth;
add 1 tablespoon of the butter and all the yeast water, mix again,
and transfer to a large bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture,
kneading vigorously after each addition, until a stiff dough is
formed. Cover with a dry cloth and let rest in a warm place until
doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and knead it on a lightly floured surface about 4
minutes. Divide the dough in half and shape each part into a ball.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet, cover with a dry cloth and
let rise 15 minutes more.
Bake the bread about 40 minutes, until well risen, golden, and hollow
sounding when tapped. Brush the top with the remaining butter and
sprinkle with crushed roasted pinons or coarse salt if desired.

Nut Milk
Most nutmeats, including sweet white oak acorns, were eaten raw by a
number of tribes, especially the Algonquins. Nuts were pounded into
meal to be used in breads, soups, and for seasonings. They were also
ground in mortar with water to make a flavorful nut "milk" to add to
various dishes. Nut oils were rendered by boiling the nutmeats and
meal, then skimming off the oil. This nutritious staple was used to
prepare and to season vegetables, potherbs, and meats, and to spread
on breads. The breads were usually "cakes" made by mixing cornmeal
with what was left in the bottom of the pot after nut oils were
rendered and then frying this batter in hot fat or roasting it in hot
coals.

Heat oil to 350 degrees in a frying pan or kettle. Lightly flour surface
and pat and roll out baseball size pieces of dough. Cut hole in middle with
a knife (so the dough will fry flat) to 1/4-inch thickness and place in
oil and cook until golden brown and flip over and cook opposite side until
same golden brown. Dough is done in about 3 minutes depending on oil
temperature and thickness of dough.
After fry bread is done top with favorite topping or, chile and cheese
first, then cover with lettuce and tomatoes, onions, green chile and you
have an Indian Taco.
This is a nice dish for mid to late fall. Excellent for a variation on
pancakes, something with a little more taste and a little more dinner (as
opposed to breakfast) appeal.
Combine yeast, honey, salt, powder, and flour with water in a mixing bowl,
and knead until soft. Cover with a damp towel or oiled plastic wrap and let
rise for 30 minutes. Remove to floured surface and divide into 3-inch
balls. Flatten each to ¼-inch-thick circles, and allow to rise for 15
minutes. Heat oil in frying pan, medium-high heat. Use tongs to fry each
patty for about 1½ minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with
honey or cinnamon and sugar.

Place the pork, half of the chopped garlic and 2 cups water in a large
saucepan (or in a pot.) Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until
about 1/2 cup of water remains.
Meanwhile, in a small pot or pan with a lid, place the tomatillos and
whole serranos. Add water to cover (actually, they will float, but you
want enough water so they aren't resting on the bottom.) Bring to a
simmer, reduce heat, cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove the tomatillos and serranos from the water (be careful, as they
will be hot,) remove stems from serranos (if present,) and place in a
blender. Also add the cilantro, the remaining garlic, and the white
onion to the blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour the tomatillo mixture over the pork. Stir, bring back to a
simmer, and reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally,
about 30 minutes more, or until the sauce reaches the desired
consistency/concentration. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
This makes delicious soft tacos. Serve hot with warm corn tortillas,
crumbled white Mexican cheese (queso fresco or similar,) and white
rice (optional.)

1 fried bread
Fried bread – native fast food! -- is one of the most popular and
widespread of native foods served at pow wows, Indian cowboy rodeos,
festivals and family gga therings. There are two basic recipes:
one is a yeast-leavened bread dough, an d the other is a quicker
baking powder version. Fry bread is served with honey or powered
sugar, chokecherry and saskatoonberry gravy or sauce. Sometimes
fres h sasktoons are mixed into the raw dough. American natives in
the south are kn own to chop onions and chilies into the dough.
A basket of fried bread and bannock placed in the middle of the dinner
table at the Pitaa Native Dinner Show quickly disappears. Enjoy!
