"NAVAJO FRY BREAD"

4 cup all purpose flour


1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 cup vegetable shortening

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

This modern interpretation of a traditional Native stew is slow


cooked and flavoured with fresh sage, a wild plant on the prairies.
Serve it over wild rice fritters for traditional taste. From High
Plains: The Joy of Alberta Cuisine by Cinda Chavich (Fifth House).

Combine bison with vinegar, pepper and 2 teaspoons of sage and


marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat the oil in a Dutch
oven and brown the bison over high heat in batches. Set aside the
meat as it@s cooked. Add the onions and garlic to the drippings in
the pan and saute 5 minutes, until beginning to brown. Add the flour
and stir to combine. Slowly stir in the wine, stock, and wild
mushrooms with their soaking liquid. Return the meat to the pan and
bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer the stew for
1-2 hours or until the bison is very tender. Stir in the fresh sage
and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve
with wild rice fritters. Serves 4.

Wild Rice Fritters:

Saute onions in butter until tender. Combine the flours, baking


powder, salt and pepper. Whisk together the egg, sour cream and milk.
Quickly stir the wet ingredients into the dry to form a batter. Let
stand 10 minutes. Fold in the sauteed onion and cooked wild rice.
Heat canola oil over medium high heat in a nonstick frying pan. Using
2-3 tablespoons of batter per fritter, cook for 2 minutes a side,
until browned and cooked through. Serve the fritters as a base for
the braised bison and mushrooms. From: "Lightnin Dave"

(NCL) BEAN BREAD TSU-YA GA-DU

1 see recipe

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.

BEAN BREAD-after advent of grist mills.

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

crumble so it cannot be made into very good dumplings or broadswords.

WOOD ASHES LYE

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.

WALNUT MIXTURE Se-Di A-Su-Yi

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.

CHESTNUT BREAD Di-s-Qua-Ni

Prepare the meal the same as for Bean Bread but use chestnuts instead
of beans. Cut the chestnuts in small pieces before cooking them.

SWEET POTATO BREAD Oo-Ga-Na-S-Ti Nu-Nv Ga-Du

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 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

tender, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Add red chili powder and salt, to
taste. Gradually add white cornmeal and stir, until filling is about
the same consistency as "runny oatmeal." Remove from the heat and let
sit while you make the masa. Mix the cornmeal and baking powder in a
large bowl. Add the water and oil and mix. Masa must be a bit thicker
than a pancake batter. Add small amounts of additional water and blue
corn meal to achieve needed consistency.

To assemble, lay corn husk out flat. Place masa inside middle of corn
husk about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. (depending upon amount of filling
used). Leave outer edges uncovered about 1-inch on each side. Place
filling in center of Masa and fold in each side. Next fold the bottom

1 1/2 cup water or broth
2 tablespoon sunflower seed oil

Thoroughly blend all ingredients together into a smooth batter. On a

Cook for 3 to 5 minute, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip
and finish cooking. Serve hot with nut butter** and maple syrup.

Cattail Flour: A great many of the botanicals natural to any area may
be dehydrated and ground to make flour. The tastiest and most
nutritious wild flours are those prepared from nutmeats. Seeds of
various botanicals can be used to make flour as well as cereals,
gruels, and puddings.

The finest flour in nature, which needs no sifting or refining is


cattail and bulrush pollen. However, its fine also makes it very hard
to wet, so it is easier to mix the pollen with a greater portion of
other flour. From: Kailariwoifeyes@aol.Com

Comments from other cooks:

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.

2 cup cold water
2 cup buckwheat flour (can be

1 grain flours)
1 cup white flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter (i have frequently
1 used vegetable oil in its
1 place)
1 tablespoon molasses (i have also used
1 brown sugar in it's place)
1 teaspoon soda dissolved in
1/2 cup hot water.

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add cold water. Measure flour by


dip-level pour method. Blend flours and salt. stir in. Beat
vigorously until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the
morning stir in butter, molasses and soda dissolved in hot water. Let
stand at room temp 30 minutes. Bake or grill like regular pancakes.
Makes about 3 dozen 4" rounds.

I do adjust my pancake by adding a bit more water if it's too thick.


Depends on how you like your pancakes. Now, if any of you can help me
cut this down to less than cooking for the whole camp (since they're
gone most of the time now) I'd really appreciate it. I have found
that I can keep the initial batter for several days in the
refrigerator and mix the last minute ingredients the morning I want
to cook them.

(NCL) CUTTINGGAL'S FAVORITE PANCAKES

1 egg
1 1/4 cup buttermilk or soured milk
2 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted
1 shortening
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/3 teaspoon salt

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
syrup/sauce/jelly/jam/honey.....take your pick!

Now, I've pretty well given you the recipe as I was......I like mine
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
towel on a cookie sheet in the oven on low. Don't stack them on top
of each other though if you want them to stay light.

Here is the sauce recipe to go with the pancakes.

1/2 cup maple syrup


1/2 cup honey 1 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)

Heat over hot water while stirring and serve over pancakes or waffles.

Another variation of this is to replace the maple syrup with your

1/2 cup wild rice


2 1/2 cup warm water (105 f to 115 f)
2 tablespoon honey
1 envelope dry yeast
3 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3/4 cup toasted shelled sunflower
1 seeds
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cup (about) bread flour
1 large egg beaten with
2 tablespoon water

Cook rice in medium pot of boiling salted water until very tender,
about 40 minutes. Drain. Cool completely.

Stir warm water and honey in large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over, let
stand until foamy, about 8 minutes. Add rice, whole wheat flour, dry
milk, 1/2 C. sunflower seeds, wheat germ, oil and salt and stir until
well blended. Gradually mix in enough bread flour to form dough.
Cover dough and let rest 15 minutes.

Turn out dough onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic,
adding more bread flour if sticky, about 10 minutes. Oil large bowl.
Add dough, turning to coat. Cover bowl with clean kitchen towel. Let
dough rise in warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.

Line large baking sheet with parchment. Punch down dough. Turn out
onto lightly oiled surface. Knead briefly. Divide dough into 2
pieces. Roll each piece between work surface and palms into 12x3-inch
loaf. Transfer loaves to oiled baking sheet, spacing evenly. Cover
with kitchen towel. Let rise in warm area until almost doubled, about
45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Brush loaves generously with egg mixture.


Sprinkle with 1/4 C. sunflower seeds. Using sharp knife, cut 3
slashes crosswise in surface of each loaf. Bake until golden and
tester inserted into center comes out clean, 35 minutes. Transfer
loaves to racks; cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in plastic and
store at room temperature.)

Bon Appetit February 1995

*Cooks comment: A very substantial and satisfying bread. For


vegetarians, an excellent source of protein: all one needs to put
between slices for a sandwich are some greens of choice ! I make this
in a Kitchen-Aid mixer, and have found that when the bread just
begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, it's best to stop and
let the dough rest for about 15-20 minutes. When I begin kneading it,
the dough firms up quite well without having to add more flour. I
Page 23

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
staple at our house and a gift people appreciate beyond words.

(NCL) INDIAN CAKE - BANNOCK

1 cup white cornmeal


1/2 cup cattail flour*
1 teaspoon wood ashes** or baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup sour milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoon corn oil

Natural Breads: Indians discovered the special properties of ashes


mixed with food or water. They saw corn soaked in water with ashes
became whiter and puffier and acquired a unique flavour. This became
hominy, which was fermented into sour soup, fried with meats or wild
greens, or baked into custard like puddings. Hominy was also dried
and pounded into grits, which became various other nutritious dishes.

Preparations: Mix together the cornmeal and cattail flour in a large


bowl. Gradually add the remaining ingredients, blending well and
working into a sturdy dough. Turn into a well-greased loaf pan (8" x
4") and bake in a preheated 425ø F oven for 30 minutes. The dough may
also be shaped and flattened into a greased cast-iron skillet and
cooked over an open fire, turning once. Gauge the cooking time
according to the fire, usually 10 minutes per side. Delicious as a
trail bread, it is enhanced by the addition of a handful or two of
seasonal (or dried) berries included in the raw batter before baking.

**Ashes have special properties when mixed with foods, or in water,


for various preparations. The Indians passed this along to the early
Americans and it became a part of their traditional food as well.
Ashes of distinctive woods such as cedar, juniper, hickory, etc. were
definite flavourings, as well as cleansing and digestive agents.
Ashes also bleach and soften some foods and add trace minerals,
subtly influencing taste and consistency. Ashes in water create lye,
which will harden and chemically change the substances to which it is
added.

Spoon fresh ashes out of a fireplace, wood burning stove, or campfire


for use in recipes. (In some cases substitutions are indicated) Be
sure not to scrape the ashes out of the fireplace, or you will pick
up unwanted and harmful tars and residues.

*Cattail Flour: During June the male blossoms, which are located
above the female cattail bloom spike, produce quantities of bright
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
portion of flour deleted from a recipe. From: Kailariwoifeyes@aol.Com

1 lb coarse ground beef
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 onion, minced
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can green enchilada sauce
1/2 can water
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 cheddar &/or monterey jack
1 cheese, shredded
1 tomato(s), diced
1 lettuce, shredded
1 oil (for deep frying)

"Brown" the ground beef until done, then drain off the grease. Add the
jalapeno, onion, taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, and 1/2 can of
water.

Cook this mixture according to the instructions on the taco seasoning


package. Add the pinto beans and heat through. Remove from heat and
allow to cool.

Portion out the frybread dough so that you end up with 8" diameter
circles of rolled dough 1/4-1/2" inch thick.

Spoon some of the meat mixture onto half a rolled out piece of dough,
sprinkle with the shredded cheese (if desired), and fold the other
half over to form a half-moon-shaped turnover. Seal the edges by
crimping with the tines of a fork. Deep fry the popover as you would
the fry bread (until golden brown). Drain on paper towels.

The meat and cheese will be nice and hot. Serve with lettuce,
tomatoes, more onions, and taco sauce (store bought) as desired. This
is a favorite at all of our Oglala powwows!

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

unbleached white flour, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Generously flour a work surface with some of the remaining flour and
place dough on it. Knead dough, gradually incorporating remaining
flour. The kneading will take 10 to 12 minutes. By the end of this
time the dough should have a slight "stick to it" but not stick to
your hands. Cover dough with an inverted bowl and let rise until
doubled, 30 to 60 minutes.

Lightly oil an 8 by 8-inch baking pan. Divide dough into 16 equal


pieces, shape into round balls, brush lightly with oil, and place in
prepared pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30 to 60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400. Bake rolls until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

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

Let rest, refrigerated, for at least 15 minutes.

Spoon cake mix into a heated, oiled nonstick skillet and spread out
to form 2-inch pancakes. Cook, over medium heat, for about 2 to 3
minutes, or until golden. Turn over and finish cooking pancakes.

Note: corn pancakes can be made ahead and reheated in a moderate oven.

For the Venison and Squash blossoms: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat a thick, ovenproof skillet until quite hot. Add just enough oil
to coat bottom. Season venison liberally with salt and pepper. Place
in skillet and brown on 1 side. Turn venison over and place skillet
in oven to finish cooking. Cook venison to medium rare, about 6
minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 135 degrees F.

Heat a deep pot of oil or a fryer to 360 degrees F.

As venison is cooking, gently dip squash blossoms into tempura


batter, and fry in oil until crisp and golden. Remove and drain on
paper towels.

Remove venison from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Slice venison against the grain of the meat and divide onto 4 plates.
Place warm corn cakes above the meat. Sauce in front, serving
remaining sauce on the side. Garnish with squash blossoms and serve
immediately with Plum Demi-glace.

Tempura Batter: In a bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, egg yolk,


and salt and mix well. Add water, starting with 1/2 cup, until batter
is a thin pancake batter consistency.

Plum Demi-glace: Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and simmer


until very soft. Push through a mesh strainer to remove pulp. Add
demi-glace and keep warm.

(NCL) PIKI (PAPER BREAD)

5 tablespoon masa harina


2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water

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. Surprisingly, 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.

For 8 scrolls of bread, serving 4 people:

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

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 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.

Gourmet August 1995

Some comments from other cooks:

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.
Page 45

Adding bread crumbs and an egg helped bind the salmon a little better,
without hurting the flavor...

Delicious, I added fresh dill to the Salmon Burgers, served it with


rice.

My Salmon Burgers turned out very well. I'm a Culinary Arts Graduate
and I added a few ingredients to this recipe to assure that the
burgers stayed together and were spicy enough. In addition to the
regular ingredients I added, fat free Parmesan cheese, granulated
garlic, used some egg white and very little bread crumbs and a little
bit of skim milk. I also added some Red Pepper to taste. (Yum Yum)

(NCL) SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CACTUS

3 cactus pads or
8 oz can nopalitos, rinsed and
1 drained or
2 small zucchini, cut into
1 bite-size strips
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped red or green sweet
1 pepper
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
8 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 flour tortillas, warmed
1 salsa

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. 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.

(NCL) SEMINOLE PUMPKIN BREAD

1 info file

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.

(NCL) STRAWBERRY TAMALES

10 lb masa (cornmeal flour)


1/4 cup water
3 heaping tablespoons baking
1 powder
4 cup vegetable shortening, boiled
1 and cooled
4 cup sugar
2 cup brown sugar
2 cup strawberry/raspberry drink
1 concentrate
1/4 cup strawberry marmalade
1 tamale assembly:
6 dozen dried corn husks
2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1 waxed paper sheets

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.

(NCL) SWEET BLACKBERRY BLUE CORN TAMALE

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.

Bring puree, water, sugar and molasses to a boil. Whisk in masa


harina and stir mixture over low heat at a slow-popping bubble for 10
minutes. Stir in butter and lemon juice off heat. Mixture should be a
firm, dry dough. not sticky, not crumbly.

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.

6 round fry bread pieces,
1 recipe follows
1/2 poundccheddar cheese,
1 grated
1 head lettuce, shredded
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 salsa, optional
1 green chile, optional
1 for the fry bread:
2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry milk solids
2 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon lard, cut into
1/2 inch bits, plus
1 lb lard, for deep frying

Brown the ground beef in a saute pan. Divide equally onto 6 fry bread
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.

For the fry bread:

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.

(NCL) TSA LA GI BEAN BREAD

1 recipe cornmeal
1 cooking juice from beans
1 corn husks
1 garlic salt

My husband is Tsa la gi and he gave me an old recipe for making bean


bread that just says to mix the beans with some of the juice into the
cornmeal. Well, I did that until it looked about the right
consistency to me and used corn husks to wrap them up and held them
together with a toothpick. Like you, I had no idea how long to cook
them since the recipe just says to boil until done. Well, I figured
20-30 minutes would probably be about right. I tested one and it
seemed done to me so I let my husband taste and he said they tasted
like they were supposed to so I must have guessed right. And I guess
you know not to put salt in the mixture or it will just fall apart.
Season afterwards. Instead of salt I put a little garlic salt on mine
and liked it real well. Just give it a try and see what happens.

A SNOWA FRYBREAD RECIPE

4 cups flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 cups (more or less lukewarm water
oil or shortening

Note*: This frybread recipe was provided by Snowa as a courtesy to the the
people here. Snowa is also a Native. Many recipes are handed down literally
from generation to generation, or from family to family. Some recipes are
carefully kept family secrets. And as frybread is a staple of many
traditional family gatherings, the ability to produce a quality item for
consumption by family members and guests is often a source of pride for the
family.

That being said and not wanting to be to serious here, because thats not
the point either, this is Snowa's recipe given to you. It is a recipe with
a least some roots in the Muscogee (Creek) Indian culture, since that is
what she is, among others. I don't know the history of this recipe. Snowa
has given permission for you to use this recipe among your families and
friends. What permission is not given is for this recipe to be marketed or
that it show up in a cookbook somewhere.

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.

2. Keeps the dough from sticking to your hands.

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

of flat dough and cut into several pieces, if you have ever seen anyone cut
dumplings ( that parallelogram shape) its the same way.

ABOUT SLIPPERY ELM (ULMUS RUBRA).

1 in past years i've done a


1 certain amount of testing,
1 tasting, and such
1 like on the inner bark of
1 ulmus fulva.[syn. ulmus
1 rubra] i find the
1 flavor to be reasonably
1 tasty, at least if it is
1 collected from a young
1 enough tree. at times i've
1 gathered it in quantity (the
1 bark of one
14 &quot; tree[rossed] can make
1 big pile ) and have used it
1 regularly
1 for a cornbread additive,
1 and such like. one problem i
1 see, is that it
1 can be peeled easily in late
1 spring/summer when the sap
1 is up,[once it
1 is rossed, many square feet
1 can be pulled off quite easily]
1 but by
1 september, and on into
1 winter,[when other food is
1 scarce in the woods]
1 it has to be cut off a
1 little bit at a time. that
1 may not be a big
1 problem from a survival
1 standpoint; i.e. cutting off
1 just enough for one
1 meal at a time. one time,
1 just on a whim, i pulled up
1 seedling/sapling
1 in the 2-4' range, wiped the
1 dirt off the root, and
1 started munching on
1 the root bark. yumm! no
1 tough fibers either. that
1 incident made me
1 wonder if a person could get
1 more food for their effort
1 by going after
1 root bark, rather then tree
1 bark

Someday, I hope to try some of the other dozen or 3 of edible tree


barks that I've seen mentioned here and there in various books over
the years, and find out which ones are good eating, and which ones
are not.

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, beaten or egg substitute
1 cup milk (i use soy or rice milk- works; fine)
3 tablespoons oil

Very tasty, with a distinctive texture. Great for Thanksgiving! American


colonists in the Northeast used all available food sources- acorn bread is
an adaptation of a Native American recipe which was somewhat common in the
late 17th century until the mid 19th among the poorer working classes.
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Grease a loaf pan.
3. Sift together dry ingredients in a bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk, and oil.
5. Combine dry and liquid ingredients.
6. Stir just enough to moisten dry ingredients.
7. Batter will be a bit lumpy.
8. Pour into a greased pan, bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
9. Acorns are very easy to use, similar to chestnuts.
10. First examine the acorns as you pick/gather them.
11. Throw away any that are wormy/moldy/cracked/etc.
12. Next, shell them.
13. Early in the season (August-September) the shell is usually soft enough
to cut through.
14. Later in the season acorns may require a nut cracker, though many times
the shells are rather thin and brittle.
15. Taste the raw acorns- if they are bitter, they need to be boiled.
16. Tannic acid causes the bitterness, and is easily leached out by boiling
the acorns in successive pots of water.
17. When the water no longer turns brown (looks a lot like tea), the acorns
are ready.
18. The next step is to roast the acorns slightly.
19. Use a warm oven, no more than 250 degrees.
20. Acorns that have not been boiled will take 60 minutes or so, boiled
acorns will take longer.
21. Once they're roasted, the acorns can be used in place of nuts in most
recipes, although they are less oily than most nuts.
22. They can be glazed like chestnuts, simmered in a soup, ground and used
as a flour extender.

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.

1 T. honey
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c. milk
3 T. melted butter

Combine dry ingredients. Mix together egg and milk, then beat into

onto hot, greased griddle. Bake, turning each cake when it is
browned on underside and puffed and slightly set on top.

Yield: makes 12 to 15.

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.

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.

AH-GEE-CHUM-BUH-GEE

1 lb. dried fruit


2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cups corn meal, well sifted

This recipe originally appeared in the 1950s Oklahoma Indian Cookbook by


Mae
Abbott, who was a friend of Acee Blue Eagle and collected some recipes from
him. He was Creek and Pawnee, but his recipes seem to be Creek.

I have a modern Shawnee variant of this in my ethnic cookbook, so the


general idea was shared around Oklahoma, apparently.
Cook fruit about half done in water that is 1.5' over the fruit. Pour
scalding hot fruit over meal, soup [liquid] and all. If meal is not soft
enough to hold it's shape with the fruit and soup, add boiling water.

Mold into round oblongs and wrap in corn shucks longwise. Tie each end and
two or three sections in the middle, drop into boiling water and cook
covered until done. These were made especially for Indian children to be
eaten between meals, like candy or cookies.

ALGONQUIN PUMPKIN-BLACK WALNUT BISCUITS

2 c unbleached all purpose flour


1/4 ts ground allspice
2 tb sugar
1/2 c butter, cold
1 tb baking powder
1/3 c finely chopped black walnuts
1 t baking soda
2/3 c mashed cooked-pumpkin
1/4 ts salt
1/2 c buttermilk, or a bit more if needed
1/4 ts ground cinnamon
1/4 ts grated nutmeg and
sugar.

*biscuits have a tendency to overbrown on the bottom, so use a


light-colored metal baking sheet instead of a nonstick sheet. Serve
the biscuits hot with butter.

Preheat oven to 450 F. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking


powder and soda, salt, and spices into a large bowl. Cut in the
butter (or use food processor) until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Add the nuts. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin
and buttermilk. Add it to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
The dough will be quite stiff and not all the flour will be
incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cloth and
knead gently a few times to work in the rest of the flour. Roll out
the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a 2 inch round
cutter. Transfer the biscuits to a lightly oiled shiny baking sheet,
and sprinkle tops with sugar. Bake for 10 minutes--do not let them
get too brown. Serve immediately with butter. If you must have
jelly choose a delicate apple jelly so the subtle pumpkin flavor is
not masked.

AMERICAN INDIAN HOPI BLUE CORN MUSH "SAVORY W

1 quart water
1 salt
1 1/2 cup blue cornmeal
1 oil, for frying

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, add salt to taste, and whisk in


the cornmeal. Lower the heat and stir the cornmeal for 10 minutes or
until it tastes done. The coarser the meal, the longer it will take.
Pour the cooked cereal onto a cookie sheet or into a bread pan and
set it aside to cool for an hour or so or until firm. Once it has
cooled, slice it into pieces for frying. Fry the slices in butter or
oil in a nonstick pan until lightly crisped on both sides. If this is
to be eaten as a savory, sprinkle a little red chili or paprika on
top just before serving.

This is cooked like cornmeal mush, molded in a bread pan, and then
sliced and fried. It is delicious with a clear corn flavor and odd
purple-blue color. It's good with eggs and bacon, or with butter.

1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup grated cheddar

ANGU DE MILHO BRAZILIAN CORN MUSH

3 cups cold water


2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup cornmeal
4 teaspoons butter

Place half of the water in a medium-size saucepan, add the salt, and bring
it to a boil over medium heat.
Slowly mix the cornmeal into the remaining water.
Gradually pour that mixture into the boiling water, stirring constantly.
Add the butter and continue to stir constantly until the angu turns into a
thick porridge which will hold its shape.
Pour the angu into a well-buttered 6-cup mold. Let cool, then unmold.

Angu is a northeastern Brazilian dish that harks back to the days of


slavery. Prints by the French explorer and travel writer, Jean Baptiste
Debret, show Brazilian women cooking large pots of angu over wood fires.
Similar to the coocoos of the West Indies and the cornmeal mush of the
southern United States, this corn angu is prepared simply from cornmeal and
water, with the addition of a bit of butter or
animal fat.

APACHE ACORN CAKES:

1 cup acorn meal, ground fine


1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup honey
pinch of salt

Mix the ingredients with enough warm water to make a moist, not sticky
dough. Divide into 12 balls. Let rest, covered, for 10 minutes or so. With
slightly moist hands, pat the balls down into thick tortilla-shaped breads.
Bake on an ungreased cast iron griddle over campfire coals or on clean
large rocks, propped up slightly before the coals. If using the stones,
have them hot when you place the cakes on them. You’ll have to lightly peel
an edge to peek and see if they are done. They will be slightly brown.
Turn them over and bake on the other side, if necessary.

These cakes were carried on journeys dry and eaten alone or with shredded
meat. We cheat and add homemade butter, too. But then, we are spoiled.

APACHE DUMPLINGS

1 your favorite frybread


1 dough
1 ground beef
1 spanish/yellow onion
1 fresh garlic
1 canned mild or hot green
1 chili diced
1 ground cumin
1 salt and pepper to taste

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

Arepas are considered (by Venezuelans) one of our most authentic


dishes, but they are also eaten in Colombia. They are basically a
corn griddle. They can be grilled, baked, or fried. Nowadays they
are made using "pre-cooked corn meal", which is not Masa harina, it
is called Masa Arepa or Harina PAN (trade mark). This is the same
corn flour use for making tamales, which is very different from
Masa-Harina. Masa Arepa/Harina Pan, is coarse ground, and it doesn't
have the pre-treatment of lye, instead they take the corn kernels,
boil them, dry them, and finally grind them. The cooking time is
tricky.

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.

ARROWHEADS OF BLUE CORN GNOCCHI WITH GUAJILLO CHILE SAUCE

----BLUE CORN GNOCCHI----


2 medium russet potatoes
8 quart water
5 oz soft white goat cheese
1 (appx
1/2 cup)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup blue cornmeal
2 tablespoon salt
----GUAJILLO CHILE SAUCE----
3 oz dried red guajillo chiles
1 (about 15 chiles, or 2 1/4
1 cuups)
1/2 cup dried pumpkin seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
5 1/2 cup water

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.

Dust a wooden cuttingboard with half the remaining flour-cornmeal


mixture and place the dough on top. Flatten it and sprinkle it with
the remaining flour and cornmeal. Knead the flour and cornmeal into
the dough until it becomes stiff. The dough is ready when it no
longer clings to the board. If the mixture is still soft, damp and
sticky, add a little more flour.

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.

In a saucepan, heat the chile mixture over medium-high heat 4 minutes,


until it begins to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 15 minutes, until
thickened.
Page 97

While the sauce is simmering, cook the gnocchi. In a large pot,


bring the 6 quarts water to a boil with the salt. Add the gnocchi
and cook 2 to 3 minutes, gently stirring frequently so they don't
stick. At first the gnocchi will sink to the bottom; as they cook,
they will begin to hold their shape and float to the surface.

Once the gnocchi have risen to the top, remove them from the boiling
water with a slotted spoon.

Spoon 1/2 cup sauce on each plate, top with the gnocchi and serve
immediately. From: Sam Lefkowitz Date: 09-04-95 Home Cooking

BAKED CORN BREAD ... OGAHAGQ'WA` WATA'`GQDA'`

text file

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

Bannock is a simple type of scone or biscuit traditionally cooked in


a frying pan. It is the ideal bush bread. At home, oven baking has
become an acceptable alternative to the cast iron frypan.

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.

The Scottish immigrants in Nova Scotia added wheat flour to the


oatmeal and today they are generally all wheat. As the white man moved
west so did bannock. It was a staple for trappers, hunters, covered
wagon pioneers and others who lacked the time and the ovens for
yeast raised loaves of bread. In gold rush days, dough was mixed right
in the prospector's flour bag and cooked in a frypan over an open
fire.

Aboriginal Natives everywhere quickly embraced the bannock. Since time


immemorial they had been making unleavened breads from crushed seeds,
primarily bean and corn but had no grain. In Arizona even the mesquite
tree's bean was used.

Variations in flours and the addition of dried or fresh fruit make


this bread the simple choice of Canadian campers even today. The dough
can be also wrapped around sticks driven into the ground beside a camp
fire, baking it along with freshly caught fish.

In Newfoundland bannock is known as Damper Dogs and they are cooked


right on the stove top. Newfoundlanders would carefully clean the
surface of an old fashioned wood or coal stove, take bannock dough cut
into small pieces about the size of an egg and flatten them to about
1/2 inch thick. Then they would place the damper dogs directly on top
of the stove and brown both sides.

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.

BANNOCK RECIPE

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (or less, if you prefer your; bannock less sweet)
2 pinches salt
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

The Aboriginal Staff of Life, Bannock is common to the diet of almost


all North American's first peoples. There seems to be countless
recipes that vary region to region for this native favorite. We are
offering some of the most common.

Recipe #1 700 ml corn flour 30 ml (2 tbsp) baking powder 7 ml (1/2


tsp) salt 45 ml (3 tbsp) lard 150 ml (2/3 cup) water

frying pan, or baking sheet. Stir and blend together the flour,
baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in
finely the lard. Then gradually stir in the water. Stir with a fork
to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Turn dough on a lightly
floured surface and knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll out or pat 1/2
inch thick, or flatten dough to fit frypan. Cook in frypan on hot
ashes over open fire (turn bannock to brown both sides) or on baking
sheet in over for approx 12 to 15 minutes, or until light golden
brown. Cut and service with butter. Makes 1 loaf.

BANNOCK, THE NATIVE STAFF OF LIFE

1 bannock

Bannock, similar to Native American fry bread, is common to all


Aboriginal Peoples from Truro to Tofino to Tuktoyaktuk.

Originally it was a Scottish oatmeal flatbread (bannach in Gaelic),


introduced by the fur traders of the Hudson's Bay and the North West
companies. Now made from wheat flour it is a staple everywhere in
Canada.

BASIC AREPA DOUGH

1 x no ingredients

2 c Pre-cooked masa flour


-(yellow or white)
1 ts Salt
3 c Water, boiling
Butter; softened

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.

Over the centuries, the poor people of Colombia and Venezuela


continued to use them as inexpensive, easy-to-prepare source of
nourishment. Today, these humble corn cakes are a comfort food for the
rich and poor alike, a heart-warming tribute to simplicity, tradition,
versatility, and good taste.

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.

Colombian arepas are generally thinner than their Venezuelan


counterparts. The standard Venezuelan arepa looks somewhat like a flat
bread roll, crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. They can
be split open and buttered, or spread with cream cheese or fresh goat
cheese. Made this way, they are served for breakfast or as an
accompaniment for grilled fowl, fish, meat stews, or sausages.

In Venezuela, the doughy inside is sometimes scooped out, and the


shell is filled with savory mixtures of ground or chopped pork, beef,
ham, chicken, seafood, vegetables, or beans. They are excellent first
courses. Venezuelan mandocas, for example, are cheese arepas shaped
into rings and deep-fried. Another specialty is bollos pelones --
balls of arepa dough stuffed with seasoned ground meat, either fried
or poached in water, then served with tomato sauce.

A popular snack in Colombia consists of arepas served with fresh


cheese and fried chorizo (sausage). Colombians also make tasty soups
using fresh masa or leftover arepas. Arepitas dulces make great
desserts.
Page 117

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.

Venezuelan arepa is 3 inches in diameter, 3/4 inch thick. Columbian


arepas are larger and thinner, about 4 inches in diameter, 1/4 inch
thick. To make arepas, oil or wet hands lightly and shape dough into
balls. Place between 2 pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and flatten
into a circle; shape the edges to form a smooth disc.

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.

Arepas freeze well if frozen while still warm. Freeze in layers


separated by plastic wrap. Reheat frozen arepas wrapped in aluminum
foil in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes or until heated
through.

BASIC SKILLET BREAD

2 cups fine cornmeal or wheat flour


1 1/2 cups hot water or warm milk1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. baking powder
3 eggs well beaten
1/2 stick melted butter or 4 tbsp melted shor; tening or lard or 4 tbsp
pinch white or black pepper (option; al)

(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.

Mix all dry ingredients together and mix well.

In a separate bowl, mix all liquid ingredients together.

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

By: Pam Oakes

2-3 cups brown or pinto beans


4 cups white cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

(soda is used in place of the traditional lye water)


no salt (will make the bread crumble).

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.

1 tsp. oil or bacon fat
1 1/2 cup bean soup liquid (pot likker....)
1 egg
fat for frying, we used bacon fat,; but that's hardly healthy
days--you can use peanut or sunflow; er oil.

I have a recipe that is really a modern (well it was modern when my


grandmother was making it) variation on the traditional bean bead--we had
several types, but this type is really like a bean cakes recipes, because
it's fried. This is a dump recipe, so keep in mind that my measurements
are by no means exact! And he, don't worry about that drawl! :-)
Mix dry ingedients together.

Add the beans, oil or fat, and bean liquid. Mix well and whip in egg.

Heat fat or oil in skillet to pan fry. Drop bread cakes into fat (1 tbsp.
each) and brown well on both sides, drain well and serve with fried bacon
strips and 'sops' (bacon fat and cane syrup or butter and cane syrup).

Don't know if this is close to anything you had, but it's good
anyway...maybe not so good for you...but....

BEAR PAW BREAD

2 cups cups hot water


2 teaspoons solid vegetable shortening, lard, b; utter, or margarine
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 packages (about 2 active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110°)
10 cups flour

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.

Grease 4 (9-inch) pie pans or 2 baking sheets. Divide dough in quarters


and form each piece into a flat circle about 8 inches in diameter. Fold
each
circle almost in half, allowing the bottom to extend about an inch beyond
the top. With a sharp knife, slash the dough twice, cutting through both
layers of dough, about halfway back to the fold. This will form three
separated sections -- the bear's paw. Place each loaf in a greased pie
plate, or on a baking sheet, curving the folded side in a crescent shape.
Separate the slashes. cover loosely with a towel and let rise until
doubled in bulk.

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.

Note: Dried pozole corn is available in Latino markets.

1. Soak each color of pozole corn overnight in separate bowls of water.

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.

BLACKFOOT FRIED YEAST BREAD

1 cup lukewarm water


1 pkg active dry yeast
2 tablespoon softened butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cup unbleached flour
1 oil or shortening, for deep
1 frying

Place water in a mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast over water and allow to
sit for 5 minutes. Add butter, sugar and 2 1/2 cups of flour.
Knead, adding enough flour to form a stiff dough. Allow to rise
for one hour. Place oil in a deep saucepan and heat to 350&#176; F.
Form dough into dicks 4-inches in diameter and about ¼ inch thick,
and deep fry for about one minute per side, until golden brown.
Makes 8 to 10 pieces.

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!

BLUE CORN CHILE CHEESE MUFFINS

1 cup all-purpose flour


3/4 cup blue cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
3 tablespoon melted margarine
1/4 cup jalapeño pulp

I like to use blue corn in this


recipe because of its nutty taste.

But if you don’t have blue corn


available, substitute yellow
cornmeal.

They will still be just as good.

Another tasty variation is to add


crumbled bacon to the mix.

Normally I use 4 chopped jalapenos


but I substituted the jalapeno pulp
for this experiment.

Serve these in place of cornbread


with barbecues, picnics, or
even as a breakfast muffin.

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F.

Sift all the dry ingredients together


in a large mixing bowl.

In another bowl, combine all the


remaining ingredients.

Add the liquid to the dry ingredients


and stir to just mix them.

Lightly oil a muffin pan and divide


the batter evenly among 12 to 15 muffin
cups, filling up each one about halfway.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a


toothpick inserted into the middle of
a muffin comes out clean.

Cool the muffins on a rack and serve


them warm or at room temperature.

sit while you make the masa. Mix the cornmeal and baking powder in a
large bowl. Add the water and oil and mix. Masa must be a bit thicker
than a pancake batter. Add small amounts of additional water and blue
corn meal to achieve needed consistency.

To assemble, lay corn husk out flat. Place masa inside middle of corn
husk about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. (depending upon amount of filling
used). Leave outer edges uncovered about 1-inch on each side. Place
filling in center of Masa and fold in each side. Next fold the bottom
upward.

Place tamale in 2nd corn husk and repeat with tamale in opposite
direction of first husk. Fold and tie with small strips of corn husks.
Place in boiling water for 60 to 90 minutes.

BLUE CORN TORTILLAS

1 1/2 cup blue corn meal


1 1/2 cup boiling water
3/4 to 1 cup all purpose flour

You will need a medium-sized bowl, a griddle or heavy


skillet at least 8 inches in diameter, and a rolling
pin.

Place corn meal in a bowl and pour boiling water over.


Stir to mix well. Let sit for fifteen minutes. Mix in
one-half cup of all purpose flour. Turn this mixture
out onto a bread board spread with 1/4 cup of flour.
Knead for 2 to 3 minutes, incorporating the 1/4 cup of
flour into the dough (and if necessary, use a little
more). The dough will be soft but not at all strong.
Return the dough to the bowl and cover. Let rest for
30 minutes.

Divide the dough into eight pieces. Between


well-floured palms, make flat round patties out of
each of the eight and set aside. Heat your griddle
over medium high heat, making sure that it is hot
before you cook the first tortilla. On a well-floured
surface (as the dough is quite sticky), carefully roll
out a tortilla until it is approximately 7 to 8 inches
in diameter. (We find it easiest to first pat out the
dough with our fingers or between our palms, and then
to roll out the tortilla at the very last just to make
it uniform in thickness). Cook the tortilla as you
would a wheat tortilla, approximately one minute on
each side. The tortillas will be flecked with brown on
both sides. When cooked, remove and wrap in a kitchen
towel. Stack one on top of another.

Blue corn is one of many different varieties of corn


grown by the Hopi and Pueblo Indians. It ranges in
color from gray to blue to almost black, and is used
in breads, dumplings, sauces, and in drinks. Blue corn
tortillas are traditionally made without salt, as
below, for salt is thought to mask the full but subtle
taste of the blue corn.

These tortillas are soft to eat, and not at all tough.


Because they contain a little wheat flour, they are
also relatively easy to handle; you can pat them out
by hand, then roll them to an even thickness if need
be. They are cooked quickly in a hot ungreased
skillet, then wrapped in a towel to stay soft and warm
until ready to be eaten.

BLUE CORNCOB BREAD

1 cup blue cornmeal


1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbs. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 tbs. melted unsalted butter

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.

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Grease 2 corn- stick pans, 9-inch cast-iron


skillet or 9-inch cake pan, and set aside.

2. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in
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.

3. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, if using cornstick pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes,


or until firm, if using cake pan or skillet. Remove from oven, and serve.

BLUE CORN-PINON PANCAKES WITH APRICOT-PINON COMPOTE

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.

BOILED CORN BREAD ... GAHA'`GU'`GWA'

----KEYWORDS: WALNUT, CORN, AI----


1 corn, hulled and washed
1 water
1 currants, optional
1 walnuts or butternuts, optional
1 berries or beans, of choice

After the corn has been hulled and washed, it is placed in the mortar
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.

BREAD MACHINE CORN-JALAPEÑO BREAD

By: www.bettycrocker.com

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water


2/3 cup green giant® niblets® frozen whole; kernel corn, thawed
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño chili
3 1/4 cups gold medal® better for breadt bread; flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine or quick active dry y; east

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.

Tips from the Kitchen

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.

BUFFALO CORN BREAD

2 lbs. ground bison/buffalo (90-95% lean)


1 lg. onion
1 can rotel diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1 can ranch style beans
2 boxes jiffy corn bread mix
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup syrup
spices:

black pepper
comino/cumin
season salt
garlic powder
cayenne pepper (if desired for extra hot temp)

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.

Left-overs reheat well in the microwave

BUFFALO, TURNIP, AND BERRY RAGOUT

By: Food Journal of Lewis and Clark: Recipes for an Expedit

1 pound buffalo stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-i; nch cubes


1/3 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or othe; r fat
3 to 4 turnips, peeled and cut into eigh; ths
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup dried blueberries

Lewis’s mention of ragouts and truffles morella reminds us that thoughts of


home and familiar surroundings and food did cross the travelers’ minds. Or
Lewis may have wished to return with something new for President Jefferson
and other epicures.
Prairie turnips are not available commercially. This recipe substitutes the
common turnip.

Toss the buffalo cubes in a mixture of cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Heat 1
tablespoon of oil in a heavy 3-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add
the buffalo and brown well on all sides, stirring often, for 5 to 7
minutes, adding additional oil if needed. Reduce the heat to medium if
browning too fast. Stir in 2 cups of water, the turnips, onions, and
blueberries. Bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat to low. Simmer for 1
to 1 1/2 hours, stirring and basting regularly. Serve immediately.

1 package dry yeast (1/4 oz)


1/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons melted lard or shortening
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups flour
1 cup water

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.

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups low-fat (1%) milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
a pinch freshly grated nutmeg
4 teaspoons yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan (about 2 ou; nces)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1 large garlic clove, minced
freshly ground black pepper to tast; e
garnish: fresh sage sprigs
for pizza dough
3/4 cup warm water (110°- 115°f.) plus addi; tional tablespoon if nece
1 1/4 -ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dr; y yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

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.

Make the pizza:


Preheat oven to 450°F.

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.

On a work surface sprinkled with 1 teaspoon cornmeal roll out 1 piece of


dough into a 12- by 6-inch oval and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with
Page 181

remaining cornmeal and dough, ending up with 2 ovals on each of 2 baking


sheets.

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.

Yield: serves 4.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH CHESTNUT DUMPLINGS

By: Scott Carsberg

2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut in; to chunks*


1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
salt
5 ounces fresh ricotta ( 1/2 cup plus 2 tabl; espoons), drained if nece
2 tablespoons puréed chestnuts
2 tablespoons grated parmesan
1 large egg
7 tablespoons flour
ricotta salata (or more parmesan) f; or garnish.

* (weighed after cutting)

1. Put squash in a heavy saucepan with water to cover, about four


cups; bring to a boil over high heat. Split vanilla pod lengthwise
and scrape seeds into pot and add pod. Turn heat to low, cover, and
simmer until squash is quite tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool if time
allows.

2. Remove pod, let cool a bit, and transfer squash and liquid in
batches to a blender; purée, and add salt to taste.

3. Weigh 5 ounces of the purée, or measure 1/2 cup plus two


tablespoons, and combine in a bowl with ricotta, chestnut purée,
Parmesan, egg, and a little salt. Gently fold in flour; a spoonful of
the mixture should just hold its shape on a plate. (If it does not,
add a little more flour.) Put batter in a pastry bag with a No. 5

CACTUS STEW

1 cactus paddle (about 8 oz.)


salt
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove
several sprigs cilantro
dry husks from 4 tomatillos, opt.
2 lb. finely diced venison, bison, elk, m; oose, etc.
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can enchilada sauce
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. toasted cumin seed, crushed or grou; nd
2 T. masa harina
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. minced cilantro
1 toasted japones chile, ground, opt.

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.

1 caribou heart
1 c fine bread crumbs
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 sm onion, chopped
1/2 ts each poultry dressing and
salt
1 ds pepper

I suppose this recipe is pretty standard anywhere (except maybe for the

caribou part). Aklavik is a tiny hamlet on the Mackenzie River delta about

30 miles from the Beaufort sea. It is within the tree-line (barely) and

caribou is a staple there. My new son-in-law is from Aklavik (and our

extended family has hooked up with yet another of the First Nations....

Chuck is Innuit, not Dene.)

Wipe heart with clean damp cloth, then soak overnight in salted water,

covered Drain, trim off blood vessels, fat and small thread- like

cords Wash heart thoroughly with cold water, drain and pat dry Make

stuffing by combining bread crumbs, celery, onion, seasonings and

butter Fill cavity with stuffing Place on a rack in a roaster and

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.

CATTAIL FLAT BREAD

By: zhinka

3 cups cattail flour


2 cups ndn potato flour*
1 wild duck egg*2
1/2 cup mares milk the mares milk3; up to 3/4 cup

*sometimes called prairie turnips or ground potato, a common plant in the


badlands. *2 Can gently shake it to see if the embryo is too far advanced,
(to practice use a purchased chicken egg and shake it to get the feeling of
what a yolk in an egg is like) *3 mares milk gives it a special sweetness
and nutrition,and mares milk is better for those with lactose problems if
you dont own horses you can use buttermilk instead.

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

lazy to search out duck nests lol

CATTAIL POLLEN PANCAKES

1/2 cup cattail pollen


1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk or
1 cup buttermilk with additional
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 egg or egg substitute
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon oil

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

CHICKEN AND CORN STEW WITH CORN WAFERS

for the corn wafers


1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons sugar
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 whole boneless chicken breasts (about 2 p; ounds)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 small green bell pepper, chopped fine
1 rib of celery, chopped fine
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
4 fresh or canned plum tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup fresh corn kernels including the pu; lp scraped from the cobs
about 2 ears of corn)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves,; chopped fine

Make the corn wafers:


In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter, add the sugar, and beat
the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Add the egg white and the salt
and
beat the mixture at low speed for 5 seconds, or until it is just combined.
(The mixture will be lumpy.) Add the cornmeal, the flour, and the Parmesan
and stir the mixture until it is just combined. Transfer the mixture to a
small bowl and chill it, covered, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Arrange
rounded teaspoons of the mixture 3 inches apart on buttered baking sheets
and with a fork dipped in cold water flatten them carefully to form 2-inch
rounds. Bake the wafers in batches in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven
for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, with a spatula
transfer the wafers immediately to racks, and let them cool.

In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until
it is hot but not smoking and in it brown the chicken, patted dry and
seasoned with salt and pepper, in batches, transferring it as it is browned
to a bowl. To the fat remaining in the skillet add butter and the flour and
cook the roux over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until it is
the
color of peanut butter. Stir in the onion, the bell pepper, and the celery
and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are
softened. Add the broth, the tomatoes, the chili powder, and the chicken
with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl, simmer the stew,
covered,
for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and stir in
the corn. Transfer the chicken to a work surface and let it cool until it
can be handled. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and stir it into the
Page 208

stew. The stew may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept
covered and chilled. Stir in the scallion greens and the basil, season the
stew with salt and pepper, and serve it in bowls topped with the corn
wafers.

Yield: serves 4 to 6.

CHICKEN POZOLE CHILI

for the chile sauce -combine and sa; ute:


3 cups tomatoes, chopped
2 cups yellow onion, chopped
8 cascabel chiles, crushed, stems and seeds re; moved
6 cloves garlic,smashed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T. chopped fresh oregano
1/2 t. kosher salt
add and simmer; puree:
26 -inch corn tortillas, chopped
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
for the chili -
saute in 2 t. olive oil:
2 cups yellow onion, sliced
stir in:
1 T. garlic, minced
1 T. chili powder
2 t. ground cumin
1 t. ground coriander
1 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. cayenne
add and simmer:
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 cups romaine lettuce, chiffonade
1 can (15.5 oz.) yellow hominy, drained, rinsed chil; e sauce
for the avocado salad -
combine:
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, diced
1/4 cup scallions, minced
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 t. kosher salt
juice of 1/2 a lime

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
Crumbled feta cheese
Combine tomatoes, onion, chiles, garlic, oil, and seasonings for the
Page 212

sauce. Saute over medium-high heat for 10 minutes.


Add tortillas and broth; simmer 20 minutes. Puree in blender. Saute
onion for the chili in olive oil in large pot over medium heat until
softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and seasonings. Cook for 2 minutes. Add broth, shredded
chicken, lettuce, hominy, and chile sauce. Simmer 10 minutes.
Combine all of the ingredients for the salad. Garnish servings of chili
with Avocado Salad and feta cheese.

NOTE:

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 Rhone. Cut the rabbit into
serving pieces. Put the pieces into a non-aluminium container with
all of the marinade ingredients except the oil, then drizzle the oil
over the top. Leave the rabbit to marinate for at least 12 hours, or
overnight.

Preheat the oven to 220 C (425 F) mark 7.

Remove the rabbit pieces from the marinade and pat dry with paper
Page 228

towels. Strain the marinade; reserve the liquid and the vegetables
separately. Heat 45 g (1.5 oz) butter in a heavy flameproof casserole
over high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and cook until golden brown on
all sides. Transfer to a shallow dish. Add the marinated vegetables
to the casserole and cook over high heat until lightly browned. Stir
in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the marinade and bring
to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the marinade for 2 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Return the rabbit pieces to the casserole,
season with salt and pepper and cook in the oven for about 45
minutes, until the pieces are tender when pierced with a knife.

Meanwhile, turn and boil the potatoes agrave l'anglaise. Meanwhile,


keep warm in the cooking liquid.

Peel and glaze the pickling onions with 15 g (1/2 oz) butter, a pinch
of salt and the sugar. Cover to keep warm.

Cut the bacon into lardons. Blanch and drain. Heat 15 ml (1 tbsp) oil
and 30 g (1 oz) butter in a frying pan over high heat. Add the
blanched lardons and cook until crisp and golden. Drain and add to
the pan with the onions.

Heat 30 g (1 oz) butter in the pan used for the lardons. Add the
mushrooms and cook over high heat until the moisture has evaporated
and the mushrooms are golden. Add to the pan with the onions and the
lardons.

PREPARE THE CROUTONS:

Cut each slice of bread in half to form 2 triangles. Brush each


triangle on both sides with melted butter and arrange on a baking
sheet. Toast in the oven until golden; set aside.

When the rabbit is tender, remove from the oven. Transfer the rabbit
pieces to a bowl. Strain the cooking liquid, pressing down on the
solids to extract the liquid; discard the solids. Return the strained
liquid to the casserole, bring to the boil, and reduce over medium
heat until thickened

Return the rabbit, along with the onions, lardons and mushrooms to the
casserole and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and
adjust the seasoning.

COLLECTING AND STORING ACORNS AND MEAL

1 acorns
1 acorn meal
1 acorn flour

Acorns will generally be at least somewhat green when picked from


trees, but they normally turn brown in storage.

Not every acorn is sound. Several different insects, including


filbert weevils and the filbert worm lay their eggs on the cap end of
developing acorns. When the eggs hatch, the larvae begin to feed on
the inside of the developing acorn. Larvae reach maturity at about
the same time as the acorns do. When mature, weevils and worms bore
their way out of the acorn. Exit holes made by the larvae are about
the size of a pencil lead. Most acorns that have these small open
exit holes have a lot of internal damage and should be discarded. Not
all eggs develop into larvae, so acorns with closed pimple-like
marks, may be perfectly sound. Acorns that are shriveled,
lightweight, or cracked have often dried out excessively, and these
should be discarded.

Insect and weevil damage can be minimized in the second year of


harvesting by raking up and removing all old windfalls.

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.

Storage of Raw Acorns

The primary goal of storage is to reduce the metabolic activity (i.e.


keep the seed dormant). The acorn is perishable, and the other goals
of storage are to prevent the acorns from drying out or becoming
moldy Do not wash or soak acorns before storage, as the water and
room temperature will start the germination process. Freshly
harvested acorns should be stored at 33-41øF as soon as possible. A
Page 233

home refrigerator is adequate.

The easiest way to store acorns is in 1-gallon zip-lock-type plastic


bags. Fill them only half full with acorns. Add a handful of dry peat
moss. Peat moss is slightly acidic, which inhibits bacterial growth,
and it absorbs excess moisture given off by the acorns, which helps
prevent mold growth. Do not seal the bags. Leave them completely
open, and lay them on their sides to allow air circulation so the
acorns do not become moldy.

Some external mold growth on stored acorns can occur, but is


generally not a cause for concern. However, if acorns are oddly
discolored and feel soft when squeezed, they may be decayed. You can
check a few acorns by cutting them open. The inside (the "meat") of
a healthy acorn is whitish or yellowish. Decayed acorns will be dark
brown or sometimes nearly black internally.

Acorn Meal and Flour

Leaching can be effectively accomplished by cold water. Crack and


shell the acorns, then grind them into a coarse meal. Place the meal
in a cloth sack or tightly woven, lidded basket and anchor the sack
or basket in a clean flowing stream. Every several hours, taste the
meal and when the bitterness and astringency are gone the leaching is
complete. The meal is then spread out into flat, broad baskets and
stirred frequently until sun-dried. To assure dryness for storage of
the flour, it is best to then parch the meal on a flat rock over
fire, or in a cast iron skillet. When doing this, a light roasting of
the meal imparts a fine, nutty flavor to the finished flour. The
leached, dried, parched meal can be used at this point, or ground
once more into a fine flour.

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.

COLOMBIAN "QUICK AND DIRTY" AREPAS

1 cup precooked white corn meal


1 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 salt

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.

Bring water to a boil and add it to the corn meal, stirring


thoroughly. Add the butter and salt to taste. Form into several flat
tortillas (around 3mm thick) and roast over a low charcoal fire or on
a wire rack over the burner of the stove. Serve hot with butter and
fresh white cheese. You can also top it with tuna salad, chicken, ham
and cheese, sauteed tomates and onions, beef

COOK-OUT RABBIT

1 rabbit fryer; quartered


1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon season salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sauterne wine

Season rabbit with salt & pepper. Mix oil, wine and season salt. Broil
rabbit, basting often with sauce until browned and tender.

Note: I usually cook this on an indoor electric grill, however I have


had good results with an outdoor charcoal hooded grill as well. For
the charcoal grill, make sure to use foil to shield the ends of the
legs from the excess heat since the unprotected bones burn easily.

This is our favorite way to cook rabbit. I have been known to add a
couple dashes of Tabasco sauce to the marinade which gives it a nice
heat and added flavor.

CORN PONE

By: Mystic Seaport cookbook)

1/2 cup lard or vegetable shortening**


4 cups cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup buttermilk

'Pone' derives from an Algonquian word. The particular language is


apparently unknown, but in Lenape (Delaware), the one local to this area,
the cognate form is apan, 'baked.' The original recipe doesn't have
buttermilk and soda, of course. With those ingredients added, they're
essentially corn biscuits, but they will be denser and grittier than the
cornbreads you usually get served, which generally are at least 1/2 wheat
flour.
** (this usually means Crisco--I'd be inclined to use butter)

In a bowl, work lard into the meal with fingers. Dissolve salt and baking
soda in the boiling water. Gradually stir the boiling water into the meal
and lard mixture. Add just enough buttermilk to make a stiff dough. Shape
into flat rounds ('like fish cakes') and bake 1' apart on a buttered baking
pan at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. Makes about 24.

For 'Indian ashcakes,' wrap flat rounds of pone in grape leaves (baking
parchment paper inside aluminum foil??) and bake in ashes for 40 minutes.

CORN TORTILLAS

2 c. masa harina tortilla flour


1-1/4 c. warm water

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.

Make-Ahead Tip: To freeze tortillas, stack them, alternating each tortilla


with 2 layers of waxed paper. Wrap the stack in a moisture- and vapor-proof
bag, foil, or freezer wrap. Seal tightly and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw
completely before using.

CORN WAFFLES WITH TOMATO SALSA ~ MODERN

6 plum tomatoes, halved


2 teaspoons olive oil
1 15 -ounce can black beans or small white bean; s, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup sliced green onions
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro or parsley
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 to 2 serrano peppers, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
18 -1/2-ounce package corn muffin mix
1/2 cup fresh or frozen whole kernel corn
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

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.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil,


beans, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, serrano pepper, and salt. Stir
in
tomatoes and any juices. Set aside.

For waffles, prepare corn muffin mix according to package directions,


except
stir corn into batter. (If necessary, add 1 to 2 additional tablespoons
milk
to thin batter.)

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.
Dollop with salsa and yogurt. If desired, garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Yield: makes 4 serving

CORNBREAD-SAGE DRESSING

1 for the cornbread


1 cup organic, stone-ground
1 cornmeal
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 egg
1 cup skim milk
1 cup fire-roasted corn kernels
2 tablespoon canola oil
1 for the dressing:
3 tablespoon canola oil
4 ribs of celery, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 tablespoon poultry seasoning
4 tablespoon minced fresh sage

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.

1. Preheat oven to 325oF. Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder


and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together
egg, milk, corn and canola oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry
ingredients, and mix until most of the lumps are removed.

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.

3. Heat the canola oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.


Saut‚ the celery and onion with the poultry seasoning and sage until
the vegetables become translucent.

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.

CORNMEAL AND ACORN MUSH:

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.

CORNMEAL AND WALNUT CAKE WITH FRESH FRUIT

3 cups fresh fruit: cut up strawberries, p; eaches or nectarines,


raspberries and/or blueberries
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 whole egg
3 egg whites
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup bertolli extra light olive oil
1/4 cup low-fat milk

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray 10-inch spring form pan


with olive oil cooking spray.

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.

4. Combine prepared fruit, sugar and lemon in a serving bowl; let


stand until ready to serve. Serve cake cut into thin wedges with
sweetened fresh fruit.

CORNMEAL DANDIES

1 egg
1 teaspoon butter
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely
1 grated
1/4 cup peanut or veggie oil
20 dandelion flowers

Beat eggs with water in a small bowl. Mix cornmeal and cheese in a
small bowl. Heat oil in a heavy frying pan until it begins to sizzle.
Dip each flower into the egg mixture, then place it in the
cornmeal-cheese mixture and gently toss until all surfaces are
covered. Gently drop the coated flower in the hot oil, turning
frequently, until evenly golden. Drain on paper towel. Serve
immediately or later at room temp.

This is a variation of a Native American dish. The slight bite of the


cheese is a fine contrast to the sweetness of the flowers. A versatile
recipe, serve the battered blossoms as a side dish, crunchy garnish,
or hors d'oeuvres.

CORNMEAL GRAVY

By: Pam Oakes

4 pieces of side meat


2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cups cornmeal
bread
salt to taste

Fry meat to have enough grease to cover cornmeal.

Add cornmeal and salt and pepper to taste. Brown meat in grease. Add
milk, stir and let boil until thick. Serve hot over bread.

CORNMEAL PATTYS

meal
flour
salt
water
fried in grease

This is all we ever put in the patties. No sugar or egg


or shortening..there was enough grease in them when
you fried them. We did not put half flour but not quite
a 1/3 mixture of flour to meal.
They were kind of like a cornmeal pancake only thicker.
But I might try this version..
I know there was a version of the cornmeal bread done
actually on a hoe that is why they are called hoecakes.
The women that worked in the fields cooked the bread
on the hoes in the fields.

Although European settlers nicknamed Native American cornbread 'johnny


cake'
or 'hoe cake,' some credit was allowed the originators in early recipes,
which usually referred to corn meal as Indian meal.
Preheat oven to 400° and lightly spray an 8-inch square baking pan. In a
mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Stir
in cranberries and set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, honey, and oil. Add to dry

CREE FRIED BREAD

5 cup all purpose flour


10 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
2 cup water

Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a separate


bowl, combine vegetable oil, eggs and water. Make a well in centre of
flour mixture and stir in liquid, mixing it well. Put a clean towel
over the bowl and let stand for 3 1/2 hours. Knead dough for about
3 minutes. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to 4 inch
thickness. Cut pieces in triangular shapes and fry in hot fat until
golden brown.

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!

CREE INDIAN BANNOCK

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.)

The secret to light bannock is 'not to much kneading'. Less is better.

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
on.
Or save it for later.

This bannock tastes best right after it's cooked, but still tastes good
days
later and is great to chew on while paddling.

CREE WINTER BREAD

1 egg
13 fl.oz. water
½ tsp salt
13 oz (by weight) fresh berries
2 tbsp sugar
2 oz lard
3¾ cups flour
7/8 tsp yeast

This is inspired by the bread made by the Cree who live around
Hudson's Bay, which since time immemorial was made of equal parts
fat, corn flour and berries, moulded around a stick and baked over an
open fire. True winter fare for anyone who spends all day outdoors,
combining energy and vitamin C. Most sweet fresh or dried fruits may
be used, unless they contain sulphur dioxide as preservative. If you
use dried, such as currants, use 1 cup and add water to total

CROSTINI WITH TRUFFLE AND OLIVE PASTE

1/2 cup black olive paste


1 teaspoon white truffle oil
1/2 teaspoon food grade lavender flowers
8 (1/2-slices) italian bread

If you can't find olive paste, use a combination of green and black
olives (that you can purchase from tubs at your local store. Some
Sevillano, Kalamata, etc. I did throw in some plain black olives. I
did not make a paste, but chopped until small in mini-processor. Then
added white truffle oil and the dried lavender flowers to processer
and chopped in).

(Choose a bread with a close texture and a good crust, like a baguette
bread.)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bread slices on a baking sheet and
bake until lightly toasted, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from
oven.

In a medium bowl or mini-processor, mash the olive paste (or chopped


olives), truffle oil, and lavender flowers together. Spread on the
warm bruschetta bread and serve immediately. Serve with a good red
wine and enjoy!

DANDELION FRITTERS

By: Acorn Pancakes, Dandelion Salad and 38 Other Wild Recip

1 c. biscuit mix
1 c. milk
1 T. sugar or honey
1/2 inch oil in skillet
4 c. dandelion flower heads without stem; s

Mix together the buscuit mix, milk, and sugar or honey. Heat oil in
skillet
until it sizzles when a bit of batter is dropped into it. Dip dandelions
flowers into mix and drop into hot oil headfirst. Fry until golden brown.
Turn with tongs and brown on other side. Drain on paper towel and serve
hot

DAWN MANYFEATHERS BASIC FRYBREAD

9 cups flour,
5 tablespoons baking powder,
3/4 to 1 cup dry milk,
2 cups sugar (i like it a little sweet)
2 tablespoons salt.

Mix all the dry ingredients


together thoroughly. Put up in plastic bags.

When ready to cook, take out some of the mix and add enough stingy (warm
enough to sting your wrist but not burn it, like a baby's bottle) water to
make
the dough the consistency of pizza dough. Don't over work the dough as this
will
make the bread tough. Let sit about 30 minutes to work. Put some oil in a
plate and on your hands. This will keep the frying oil clean as excess
flour will
darken and burn. Pinch off some of the dough. The size is up to you. I like
small ones. Pat the dough out on the oiled plate then drop it into hot oil
for
frying. Drain on paper towels. Eat hot with toppings or plain.

Variations...Cranberry-nut.. to the amount of basic mix I add 1 package of


craisins that are plumped in 4 cups of warm orange juice. Then I add 2 cups
chopped nuts and another cup of sugar. Apple-cinnamon...6 tart apples
chopped with
the peels on. 4 tablespoons cinnamon and 2 cups raisins plumped in warm
water
or apple juice. This is also added to the full amount of basic mix. I make
that much for my family at a time. It sometimes lasts through breakfast the

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.

DORIS EAGLE'S FRYBREAD RECIPE

4 cups of white flour


4 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 pint of warm water
1 cup of dry milk
2 eggs
1 stick butter or margarine, melted
2 packages of dry yeast

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.

DOVE DUMPLINGS

12 dove or quail breasts


1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 salt, pepper and onion to
1 taste
2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 cubes chicken bullion

This is one us kids grew up on, I haven't found anyone including


children that didn't like this quick meal.

Rinse dove well; pat dry. Brown in skillet with oil; drain. Place the
dove in a stockpot and barely cover with water. Add salt, pepper, and
onion. Simmer, covered, until meat is tender

Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add in shortening, mixing


until crumbly. Stir in eggs and enough milk to form a soft dough.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/8in thickness. Cut
into 2-inch squares.

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.

This recipe was one of my favorites when I was a kid and I still
enjoy it to this day.

DUMPLINGS ... OHO' STA'

1 no ingredients found

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 make the pancakes: place the whole eggplants in a preheated 175oC


oven and roast in their skins for about 45 mins until the flesh is
soft. Remove and when cool enough to handle halve the eggplants and
spoon out the flesh, discarding the skins. Mash well with the
garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Place the eggs, milk, flour,
butter, brandy and salt and pepper in a food processor and blend
until smooth. Add the eggplant mash and blend until incorporated into
the pancake mixture. Adjust the seasoning, cover and rest the mixture
in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

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'
around grilled eggplant, topped with

For dessert, how about yummy elderberry bloom fritters, made with
cattail pollen. My daddy makes it with a squirt of fresh orange (they
have those in South Texas) followed by a dusting of powdered sugar.
But if you want to keep it wild, try adding blueberries (gooseberries,
huckleberries, etc.) and pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. and top it
with maple syrup.

ENGLISH OAK MUFFINS

4 teaspoon or
2 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
5 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet
1 brown rice flour and
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons buckwheat
1 flour or
32 oz any whole-grain flour
1/2 cup arrowroot or kudzu
2 teaspoon vege-sal or
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme, finely
1 crumbled
1 teaspoon dried marjoram, finely
1 crumbled
1 3/4 cup shelled white oak acorns,
1 leached
1 1/2 cup soy milk or nut milk
1/4 cup corn oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal

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.

1. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. 2. In a large bowl, mix


together the flour, arrowroot, Vege-Sal, thyme, and marjoram.

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.

FEAST DAY BREAD PUFFS

1 x no ingredients

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1 1/2 cups all-purpose + 1/2 cup tepary bean
flour)
2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 whole green onion, diced fine
1/2 cup cilantro, diced fine
1/4 tsp. each - ground pepper, chili powder, thyme, and cumin
1 cup cold water or milk
2 tsp. honey
oil for frying

Directions

In a large deep bowl, mix together all dry and fresh ingredients. Make a
well in the center, and add the cold water or milk and the honey. Stir
dough well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Dough should be
sticky.

Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep frying pan, until about 375ºF and just
bubbling. Carefully drop dough by generous tablespoonfuls into the hot oil,
two or three pieces at a time. Fry quickly, turning so that all surfaces
become light golden-honey colored.

Drain on layers of clean brown paper or paper towels. Serve pronto. (These
can be enhanced with a savory flair by adding 1/2 cup of cooked, diced
corizo sausage, or roasted, diced chilies.) Best eaten immediately. Good
with salads and main dishes. Also good alone or with prickly pear cactus
syrup or jelly.

This recipe is from Enduring Harvests by E. Barrie Kavasch, Globe Pequot.


Special Note from Nagi: One of the most surprising discoveries resulting
from this recipe aside from a wonderful contemporary bread, is the spice
mixture it calls for. Since our first batch of Feast Day Bread Puffs, we
have successfully used the spice mixture in numerous other dishes
involving pork and chicken. We urge you to be adventuresome by not only
trying the recipes in this collection, but experimenting with the cooking
methods and ingredients you learn about from them.

FIVE GENERATIONS OF FRYBREAD

By: Karen Chalan

info

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.

FLOUR TORTILLA RECIPE.

4 cups masa harina *


1/2 tsp. salt
21/2 cups hot but not boiling water

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.

To form the tortillas, place a portion of dough between 2 pieces of


plastic
wrap. Press with a tortilla press or roll out with a rolling pin into
a
circle 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Use your fingers to smooth any
raggedy
edges. Continue with the remaining portions until the dough is used
up.

To cook the tortillas, heat a heavy skillet, griddle or comal over


high heat
until it begins to smoke. Peel the plastic wrap off a tortilla and
Page 302

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

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.

FORCEMEAT BALLS

1/8 lb fresh beef suet finely chopped


1/4 cup cooked smoked ham finely chopped
2 cup fresh soft bread crumbs
1 made from homemade
1 white bread, shredded in
1 a blender or processor.
2 teaspoon parsley - finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon peel - finely grated
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, - lightly beaten
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon vegetable oil

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.

In a heavy 10 to 12 in skillet, melt the butter in the oil over


moderate heat. When the foam has almost subsided, drop in the balls.
Cook them for about 5 minutes or until the golden brown on all sides,
turning them frequently with a spoon and regulating the heat so that
they color slowly and evenly without burning. With a slotted spoon,
transfer the balls to a double thickness of paper towels to drain
briefly, and serve.

FRASER CANYON BANNOCK

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.

** This is the city slicker method, now on to the "native" method,


the one that native Indians used long before the white man came to
the Caribou.*

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.

FRESH CORN AND RED PEPPER TAMALES

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.

Yield: 8 tamales

1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened

* Brands of areparina, such as Goya, Iberia and Pan, are sold in South
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.

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.

Traditional Navajo Recipes Basic Fry Bread Recipe - 2 variations


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.

FRY BREAD POTAWATOMI

1 x no ingredients

3 cups of bread flour


3 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of warm water

Mix all the dry ingredients and add just enough of the lukewarm water to
form a dough that can be handled. Roll out on a floured table about
1/2-inch thick. Cut into squares and make two slits in the center. Cook in
deep fat until the bread is golden brown on one side then turn it over and
cook the other side. Best when eaten hot.

FRY BREAD RAMBLINGS

info

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 RECIPE 1

By: Elaya K Tsosie

2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
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.

FRY BREAD, MY PERSONAL RECIPE (BAKING POWDER RECIPE)

1 1/2 cup unbleached flour


1 cup whole wheat flour
1 half cup cornmeal
4 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoon sugar
1 fourth teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk (water can be
1 substituted if desired)
1 oil or shortening for
1 frying

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
the remainder of the one tablespoon of oil over the dough. Cover and
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.

Note: Dough can also be cut into triangles, squares or perfect


circles if rolled out and a cookie cutter like device is used. Serve
with honey, maple syrup, or as a bread for meals.

FRY BREADIN

By: Sondra Flynn

3 c. flour
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. warm water or milk
1 T. oil or shortening

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except


oil and knead until smooth. Rub oil over dough.
Cover and let sit ~ 30 min. Either pat or roll out
dough to fit in the palm of your hand in a circle
~ 1/8' thick and deep fry in hot oil. Usually, the
fry bread is a little larger than the size of your
hand. Makes 10-12 fry breads.

(I think I like this one the best with beans,


lettuce, tomatoes, etc. - it's a bit more tender.
The yeast one tends to be tougher, and it lends
itself well to cinnamon sugar or honey. It is
also good with beans, etc., just a little tougher.)

FRYBREAD (ZAHSAKOKWAHN)-

2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
deep hot fat in frypan or fryer

Staple of Powwows, Symbol of Intertribal Indian Unity


Frybread: Just a couple out of hundreds, but all basically alike. The first
makes 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 limps
and shape into a disk -- everyone has their own characteristic
shapes.(Shape affects the taste, by the way 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.

Yield: 8-10 small ones

FRYBREAD AND HISTORY

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.

History of Frybread - Frybread was developed by Indian women in response to


commodities issued on early reservations, which included little more than
flour, salt, sugar, coffee, and corn oil. It does taste quite good, and is
very individual even though almost everybody uses just about the same
proportions of ingredients. It tastes different according to how you knead
and shape it and what kind of oil it's fried in. Indian women did the best
of what was often poor - quality issue of rations in the new reservations.
The traditional part - frying in oil - does predate rations, using bear and
deer tallow to fry cakes made of various seed meals, but frying in deep
oil post-dates iron frypans obtained in trade goods.

FRYBREAD ANIMOSH (DOGS)

recipe

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.

FRYPAN CORN/BEAN FORK BREAD

1/2 cup dry beans (kidney or black)


3/4 cup bean stock
1 large onion chopped
2-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg beaten
2 tbs corn oil
1 cup cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1 4 tbsp chili powder
3/4 cup grated cheese
1 tomato cut up very fine
a few green onions cut up
1/4 cup black olives sliced

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
only. Fry onion and garlic in a little corn oil, in a big skillet that can
go in the oven. Leave half of it in the bottom of the skillet. Mix the
cornmeal, other dry ingredients, egg, beans and bean stock with the other
half of fried onions/garlic. Mix thoroughly and pour into the skillet on
top of the fried onion/garlic left in it. Bake at 3500 for about 12
minutes, then sprinkle on cheese, olives, tomato and onion, bake 5 minutes
longer. This is a fork-eating, not a pick-up corn bread. The corn and beans
combine protein complementarity to make one serving about 20% of a day's
protein requirement. However, you better make 2 skillets of this for your
family if this is the main dish.

1 tablespoon leroy's cajun seasoning
----TERRINES----
3 bread pans; 9 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 3 inches
3 lb bacon
----TERRINE #1----
1 lb chicken livers; washed, trimmed and separ
2 skinned & boned chicken breasts; cut in 1/2 x 1/2 inch str
1 salt
1 leroy's cajun seasoning
----TERRINE #2----
2 lb frozen spinach leaves; thawed and well drained
1 red bell pepper; seeded and cut in 1/4 inc
1/2 lb boneless pork loin; cut in 1/2 x 1/2 inch str
1/4 lb shiitaki mushrooms; cut in strips
1 butter
1 salt
1 leroy's cajun seasoning
----TERRINE #3----
1 jar cocktail onions; well drained
1 jar green olives; stuffed with jalapenos
1 lb frozen spinach leaves; well drained
1/2 lb boneless pork loin; cut in 1/2 x 1/2 inch str
1 salt
1 cajun seasoning

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.

Terrine #1 - Place enough forcemeat in the bottom of the pan to form a


Page 336

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
salt and cajun spice. The m ush rooms , spi nach and bel I pepper wi
I I cook down a lot so add more than you think you need or you wont
see them when you serve the terrine. The nicest part of serving the
terrine is seeing the pattern the vegetables and meats make when you
cut it. continued in part 2

GARY'S RABBIT TERRINE

1 rabbit, boned and chopped


1 into 4 cm pieces (1kg
1 rabbit - 400g meat)
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 onion, peeled and finely
1 chopped
2 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely
1 chopped
30 ml whisky
400 gm boneless belly pork, chopped
1 into 4 cm
200 gm fatty bacon, finely chopped
75 gm apricots, diced
50 gm pistachio nuts, skin removed
1 roughly chopped
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon whisky
12 rashes of rindless streaky
1 bacon
4 bay leafs
2 sprigs of thyme
1 watercress
1 figs, quartered
1 slice fresh bread
1 chutney

Blanch the nuts in some boiling water and rub them between your hands
to remove the skin.

Melt 2 Tbsp of butter in a saucepan over a moderate heat. Add the


onions to the pan and sweat them until they are transparent. Add the
garlic, thyme and rosemary to the onions and cook the mixture for a
further minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the
mixture to cool.

Place all the terrine ingredients except the pistachios in a bowl


including the cooled onion mixture. Mix the ingredients together
until well combined and cover it with cling film and refrigerate it
over night or for at least 6 hours to allow the flavours to mingle.
After marinating the ingredients, chop the meat finely to a rough
mince or use a mincer using the coarsest mincer. I prefer to chop the
meat by hand as you have more texture. Return the mixture to a bowl
and mix in the pistachios so that they are well distributed.

Preheat an oven to 160C. Place 2 bay leaves and a sprig of thyme on


the base of an 800ml-1litre terrine container or loaf tin and line it
with 8 slices of streaky bacon. Fill the container with the terrine
mixture, pressing it down firmly. Place the remaining slices of bacon
over the top of the terrine and place the remaining bay leaves and
thyme on top. Place the lid on the terrine or cover it in foil and
place the terrine container in a roasting dish filled with enough
Page 341

water to come up to 2/3s of the terrine container (bain-maire). Place


the terrine in the roasting tin on the centre shelf in the preheated
oven. Cook the terrine for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours, until
the terrine is set. The terrine is cooked when it begins to come away
from the sides and the fat runs clear.

Remove the terrine from the oven and bain-marie, remove the lid or
foil from the terrine and allow it to cool. Cover the terrine with
cling film and place a weight on it eg. tin of food. Place the
weighted down terrine in the refrigerate and leave it for one day
before serving. The terrine will keep for 2-3 days covered in a
refrigerator.

Serve the slices of the terrine with quartered figs and handful of
watercress or and slices of buttered rye or wholemeal bread and
chutney of your choice

2 1/4 c flour
3/4 c warm water (or a little less)
3 T solid vegetable shortening
1 ts salt
2 ts baking powder
fat or oil for frying

Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in 1 T. of shortening. Melt


and cool remaining 2 T of shortening and set aside. Add just enough water
to
flour mixture so dough holds together and can be handled easily. Knead on a
lightly floured board until smooth (30 seconds), adding only enough flour
to
work dough.

Form dough into smooth 2-inch balls. Brush each ball with cooled shortening
and let stand 45 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, with the heel of
your
hand, flatten each ball out into a round circle about 6 inches in diameter.

In a deep skillet or deep fryer, heat fat to 360 degrees. Ease dough into
deep fat. Dough will bob to surface. Cook until dough is a light brown
(45-60
seconds). Turn and cook other side (45-60 seconds). Remove from fat
immediately
and drain on paper towels. Makes 6 individual breads.

Fry bread should never be made in advance. The only way to enjoy it is
sizzling hot from the skillet. Try drizzling its crusty golden skin with
honey or
dust it with powdered sugar; great for breakfast or addition to soup or a
stew
meal.

GOLDEN CORN COINS

1 cup yellow cornmeal


1 teaspoon salt
1 boiling water

Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a well-greased,rimmed cookie


sheet in the oven. Combine the cornmeal,salt and just enough boiling
water to make a thick pancake-like-batter. Carefully remove greased
sheet from oven. Using a large serving spoon, quickly spoon batter
onto the hot grease in 36 large fifty-cent size rounds. Place in oven
and bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve hot.

This recipe can be adjusted. You can add a little chopped onion and

corn coins. I have learned to substitute carbohydrates. Leave off the
sweets for the breads since I am so addicted to corn bread and other
breads.

GOT FRYBREAD

info

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.

Mmmmm, frybread and coffee for breakfast--one of my favorite


things about powwow! I'll have to try using fridge biscuits; they
certainly make great Chinese-restaurant donuts.

For frybread I just do it more or less Tsalagi- or Shawandase-style,


'cause that's who's local; self-rising flour, oil, salt, milk or water,
and sometimes an egg. Used to use shortening, but those trans
fats are extremely hard on my joints.

I know other people here probably have other frybread recipes,


so. . . care to share?

GRANDMA'S FAMOUS BANNOCK

2 c. lukewarm water
2 tsp. salt
2 T. sugar
2 T. oil
1 1/2 tsp. instant yeast
6 1/2 c. all purpose flour
oil for frying

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.

Take field corn when it is in the dough stage, just when it is a


little too hard for roasting ears. Place the grater inside a large
pan and rub the semi-soft corn back and forth over the rough
perforations until the desired amount of dough-like mass has
collected in the pan.

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.

GREEN CHILI CRAB AND HOMINY CAKES WITH SALSA FRESCA

By: Mary Putman, executive chef and general manager, Pearlz

for the crab cakes:


1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1 cup hominy, prefer yellow, rinsed well
1/2 cup mild green chilies, diced
1/2 cup sweet onion, finely diced
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 egg
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon old bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 to 1/2 cup panko breading
salt and pepper to taste
additional panko for breading
olive oil for sautéing
for the salsa fresca:
4 ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
1 avocado, diced
1 fresh jalapeno, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

In a heavy sauté pan, cook the hominy, green chilies, onion and celery over
medium heat until slightly browned. Place the cooked vegetables in a
mixing bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients to the vegetables and combine gently so as


not to break up the lumps of crabmeat.

Form the mixture into cakes and coat with the Panko. Allow the mixture to
set for half an hour before cooking.

Put approximately a tablespoon of olive oil into a heavy bottomed sauté pan
and heat over medium heat until the pan and oil are hot.

Brown the cakes and place on a baking sheet, only cooking halfway or so.

Reheat in oven at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes before serving.


Salsa combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.

Allow to marinate for about an hour.

Serve at room temperature over the warmed crab cakes.


Yield: 6 to 8 cakes.

onion
1 red bell pepper
4 cups canned black beans (about 2-1/2 8-o; unce cans)
2 cups self-rising flour
vegetable oil for frying
sweet chili sauce, for dipping

Simple to make, and made with simple ingredients -- wish I'd thought of the
rn a food processor fit with a steel blade, quickly pulse the onion and
peppers until just past diced. Add beans and blend until mixture is still
chunky, but with pieces no bigger than 1/4 inch long. Spoon into a bowl and
add flour; mix by hand until it forms a smooth paste.

Heat a thin layer of oil, about 1/4 inch deep, in a nonstick skillet set
over medium-high heat (do not let oil smoke). Rub a little oil onto your
hands (mixture is very sticky) and flatten about 2 tablespoons of mixture
into a patty. Continue with remaining mixture.

Fry patties, a few at a time, about 3 minutes on each side, adding more oil
as necessary to prevent them from sticking to the pan.

Merve with purchased sweet chili sauce.

Yield: 2 dozen cakes.

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

GRITTED CORN BREAD

6-8 ears corn on cob, fresh


3 boxes corn bread mix

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.

HARE WITH CREAM CHANTERELLE SAUCE.

500 gm minced hare meat


2 decilitre milk
1 decilitre sieved
1 breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 decilitre finely chopped
1 onion
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
8 prunes
1 cream chanterelle sauce:
1/2 finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon wheat flour
5 decilitre meat broth
3 decilitre cream
1 decilitre dry white wine
150 gm chanterelles (fresh or
1 canned)

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).

Add the milk/breadcrumbs-mix. Mix well by hand. Avoid using a


kitchen machine as this could make the meat fibres twist together and
form kind of ropes, making the dish leathery!

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.

To make the cream chanterelle sauce, you:

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
Page 359

now and then especiall y at the bottom of the saucepan to avoid


burning. taste with salt and pepper.

Serve with boiled potatoes and green salad.

You will now enjoy the familys undisguised admiration and get a
reputati on of being a perfect chef! (If you do not have a hare, I
guess you could use a white-tail or whatever venison you
have..........) Have a nice time in the kitchen and at the dinner
table! Your Swedish cook (Amateur that is) :-)

HOPI PAPER BREAD

1/4 cup blue cornmeal


1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
lard, shortening, or salad oil

NOTES: To speed up the process, use 2 frying pans at once.

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.

1. In a 3- to 4-quart pan, whisk 7 cups water with the cornmeal, baking


soda, and salt until well blended. Bring the mixture to a boil over high
heat, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes,
stirring occasionally. 2. Mix 1 cup water with cornstarch until smooth.
Whisk into cornmeal mixture. Turn heat to high and stir until boiling
again; stir 1 minute longer. Remove from heat. 3. Place a nonstick frying
pan, 91/2 to 10 inches across the bottom, over medium heat. 4. When pan is
hot, rub lightly with lard, then pour in 1/4 cup of the cornmeal mixture.
Tilt pan, swirling batter to coat bottom (see right). Cook until batter
stops bubbling, begins to curl away from pan sides and is dry, 5 to 7
minutes. Slide a wide spatula under sheet of paper bread (the first sheet
may be hard to handle), lift out, and lay flat (if bread breaks, lift out
and save pieces). 5. Repeat step 4 with more batter, but when edges of
bread begin to curl from pan sides and bread is still bubbling a little in
the center, lay the first piece, along with any broken pieces, on top of
the piece in the pan. Cook until bread feels dry in the center when
touched, pressing flat if it puffs up, 5 to 7 minutes. Lift bread out with
spatula and fold up opposite sides, overlapping to make a loose roll (at
left). (If bread is not cooked dry, it loses its crispness when it cools;
if this happens, unroll, return to pan, and toast again until dry.) Set
roll on a rack. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with remaining batter to make each
double sheet of paper bread. Serve immediately, or store airtight at room
temperature up to 1 week.

HOW TO MAKE NATURAL FLOURS

By: Cathy Starfire Woman Lenape

info, native american

I know it can be difficult to cook native, if you are unable to


obtain ingredients. So, with this in mind, I thought my first post
would be on how to make flour with common ingredients.
I have had good experience with sunflower seeds, black walnuts,
hazlenuts, and hickorynuts. I understand you could use beechnuts,
but they are unavailable to me. I plan on trying chestnuts next
week. Nuts make a very tasty and nutritious flour.
Shell the nuts and dry them a day or 2 on a tray. (I don't dry
sunflower seeds.) You really need a lot of nuts. I suppose you could
bake them in a slow oven, but you do not want to cook or roast them.
Then, grind the nuts finely. I cheat and use a coffegrinder, but if
you want to be traditional, use a mortar and pestle. I just want to
get to the eating.
Wild rice makes a really excellent flour, but this is very
expensive unless you are able to harvest your own. I only did a
small amount once for pancakes, but it was wonderful! And we didn't
get very many pancakes either. I suppose I will try brown rice soon.
I have made flour from potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, (of course)
jeruselum artichokes tubers and believe it or not, daylily tubers!
This flower is really prevalent on the side of roads during the
summer. Just dig em up, wash real good, dry them in the sun a few
days, being sure to turn them to prevent mold, then grind. It is
MOST important that what you are using is dehydrated, or else you
will have a sloppy mess! Edible, but not flour.
Bulrush and cattail pollen make the most excellent, fine flours,
tasting somewhat like corn, but I am too lazy to be mulling around
in the water, as I imagine it would take quite a long time to gather
enough. You have to gather the bright yellow pollen in June in my
area, (NJ). You just bend the cattail over a bowl or whatever you
want to use, and tap. Best to do this on a windless day! These
flours are pretty starchy. You would substitute the same amount as
you would white flour in a recipe. Also, my mom told me my
Grandmother said you have to mix them with other flours, as they
don't mix well with liquids since they are so fine.
It is important that you use the flours quickly, or store them in
an airtight container in the fridge. Remember, no preservatives
here. Also, be sure the flour is dry, or it will most certainly mold!

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

Place dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Add remaining ingredients and thoroughly mix.

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.

vinegar or lemon juice, along with a pinch of salt in one-half glass of
whole milk. Let stand for 10 minutes before using

HUZUSUKI (HOPI FINGER BREAD)

1 3/4 c. blue cornmeal, ground medium fine


2 c. water

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.

INDIAN BEAN TERRINE IN BROWN HERB SAUCE

----INDIAN BEAN TERRINE----


1 lb dried small white or pinto 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
----BROWN HERB SAUCE----
3 cup veal 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 garnish
8 whole chives, for garnish
----BLUE CORNMEAL TORTILLA----
----FEATHERS----
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 350 degree 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 feather shapes 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
feather into the hot oil, remove and blot with a paper towel.

Spoon some Brown Herb Sauce onto each plate and place 2 slices of the
Indian Bean Terrine in the center. Garnish with a Blue Cornmeal
Tortilla Feather and a whole chive, and sprigs of fresh chervil.

----BROWN HERB SAUCE----
3 cup veal 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 garnish
8 whole chives, for garnish
----BLUE CORNMEAL TORTILLA----
----FEATHERS----
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 350 degree 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 ands tir until
completely melted. Add the tarragon, chives, dill and basil, stir 1
minutes, and remove from the heat.

Cut the tortillas into feather shapes 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
feather into the hot oil, remove and blot with a paper towel.

INDIAN CORNMEAL PUDDING

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.

If soy grits is used: one serving is about 30% of a day's protein


requirement. Some kinds of cornmeal (stone ground) have more protein and
other minerals and vitamins, though it depends on where/how it was grown.

INDIAN FRIED BREAD

By: Erica Miner

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.

INDIAN FRIED BREAD

4 cups white flour


6 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1 large tbsp. shortening
water to make a stiff medium dough

Authentic Indian-American Recipes by William


Hardwick, 1965, P.O. box 1109, Fort Stockton, Texas 79735 (I bought
this for $3 at Sunset Crater National Monument Visitor Center, north of
Flagstaff)
Mix all together to make a stiff dough. Make a ball about 3 inches in
diameter, and pull the ball into a 6-inch circle with the fingers. Do
not use a rolling pin. Slash one side from the center out with a sharp
knife in five places. Heat 1' cooking oil in a skillet and when hot,
drop in the bread. Brown on each side and drain. Serve hot.

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.

I believe the cuts described in the second recipe are to make a


five-pointed star shape, but I don't remember eating any fry bread with
this shape cut into the uncooked dough.

***************

Now, here's what I've tasted for a Navajo Taco:

Cooked spiced Anasazi Beans (whole beans, not mashed--I suppose


one could substitute Azuki Beans, as well)
Shredded Cheese
Diced Green chilis
Diced Tomatoes
Shredded Lettuce
Diced Onions

Top the cooked Fry Bread with the above, layering as follows:

Chilis
Tomatoes
Onions
Cheese
Lettuce
Beans
Fry Bread

In a bowl, mix sugar and milk. Add flour. Gradually stir in the
water until the flour is moistened and the dough forms. Turn the
dough out on a lightly floured surface; knead until dough is well
mixed. Roll to a 10 inch square and about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut
into 12 rectangles. In a deep saucepan, heat some oil at 375 F. and
fry the dough 2-3 minutes or until medium brown. Turn often as you
are frying. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Mix dry ingredients. Cut in 1 tablespoon lard until crumbly. Add water
and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead until dough is smooth and springy
in texture. Make into 12 balls. Melt 1 tablespoon lard and brush on each
ball of dough. Set aside for 30-45 minutes. On lightly floured surface
roll ball to a 4 inch circle. Then stretch to 4 to 8 inches in diameter.
Poke hole in center. Fry in oil at 365* until lightly browned, turning
once. Serve with butter or honey.

INDIAN FRYBREAD S

5 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

2 cups milk

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola is good)


Measure 4 cups of flour, add baking powder and salt. Mix together and set
aside. Melt butter and add it to the milk. Add milk and butter mixture to
the flour ingredients, a little at a time. Beat until dough becomes stiff.
Sprinkle the remaining flour on a pastry board, or other flat surface and
knead lightly until all of the flour is worked in. Roll the dough into 3
circles about 1/8 inch thick and 10 inches in diameter, or if you like you
can make smaller circles about 1/8 thick. In a heavy skillet pour about 1
inch of oil and heat until hot. Fry each piece of bread until crisp and
light brown on both sides. Serve hot.

This bread is delicious served warm with butter and jam.

INDIAN POT ROAST (AI)

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

By: Food & Wine, 1998

2 cups whole milk


1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pint vanilla ice cream

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.

INDIAN PUDDING

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup molasses
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 quart milk

Also called Indian meal pudding and usually without eggs.


Mix cornmeal with molasses (warmed, I would guess) and add melted butter.
Beat eggs until light and stir into first mixture (cool down mixture before
adding the eggs). Bring milk to a boil and slowly add it to the
cornmeal-egg mixture (while whisking? otherwise the eggs will cook and make
lumps). Bake for 2 hours in a slow oven (= 275 degrees?)

2/3 cup cornmeal
4 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
1 vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 300. Butter a small casserole - mine is 6 1/2" x 10


1/2". Over med. heat, in a large saucepan, heat the milk but don't
boil it. Slowly whisk in cornmeal & continue to stir until mixture
begins to thicken ~ 10 min. or so. Add remaining ingredients & keep
stirring till heated through. Pour into casserole & bake 3 hours
till sides are brown & sticky-looking. (The pudding hardens a bit as
it cools.) Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

An old New England favorite, this pudding is best served warm with a
big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's a comforting wintertime dessert.

IROQUOIS SOUP - MODERN

By: THE ART OF AMERICAN INDIAN COOKING

4 lg. mushrooms, sliced


2 10 1/2 oz cans beef consomme
2 T. yellow corn meal
2 T. minced parsley
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. basil
1 onion, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
haddock fillets, 12 oz (or other wh; ite fish of choice)
1 1/4 c. baby lima beans

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.

JACK KELLER'S SAND BURR WINE

1 quart sand burr spikelets


11 oz can welch's 100% white grape
1 juice frozen concentrate
1 1/4 lb finely granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon acid blend
1/8 teaspoon grape tannin
6 1/2 pint water
1 teaspoon yeast nutrient
1/2 teaspoon potassium sorbate
1 crushed campden tablet
1 pasteur champagne yeast

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]

JOHNNY CAKES

By: Rose Houk

1/2 cup flour


1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup hot water or milk
1 tablespoon shortening

Sidney Saylor Farr, More Than Moonshine:


'Johnny-cakes were made by Mrs. Farr's Granny Brock, who told her she
supposed the name for this bread came from the time when a pioneer woman
was fixing her hungry little boy a cake of cornbread that would be
'Johnny's cake.' Other versions say it was bread suitable to be carried on
a journey, and the 'johnny' is a corruption of the word 'journey'.'
Mix the dry ingredients, then stir in the rest. Drop or pour on the hot,
greased griddle or iron skillet and fry to a golden brown on both sides.
Serve with butter as a bread or with molasses as pancakes.

JUGGED HARE W/ FORCEMEAT BALLS

2 hares; oven-ready
4 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon sunflower oil
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)
Page 417

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.

JUNIPER BREAD

2 tablespoon juniper berries


1 cup acorn flour
1 cup water

Juniper berries were gathered from the mountains by Cahuilla, and


their strong taste was much appreciated. Cahuilla ate the berries
raw, lightly boiled, and as a mush; non-Cahuilla usually find such
concentrated juniper taste overwhelming and an acquired taste. This
recipe tones down the juniper taste, though many people still find it
overly strong.

Grind the juniper berries into as fine a flour as possible, and mix
it with the acorn flour. Add sufficient water to make into a dough
that can be molded into small, round cakes, about 1/2 inch thick and
3 inches in diameter. Cook on an ungreased skillet over moderate heat
or in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the inside is hardened
and the exterior has browned. Other flours can be substituted for the
acorn flour.

Note: If more water is added to the dough, it can be boiled as a mush.

KANATAONESTEROKHONWE (CORN BREAD)

Mix 4 cups masa jarina, 2 cups white flour, 8 oz or so cooked, drained


kidney beans in large bowl. (10 cornbreads)

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 fun has just begun.

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.]

This stuff will keep!

KNEELDOWN BREAD

10 ears of fresh corn


3 t. lard
1 1/3 c. water
salt to taste

In Breads of the SW Kneeldown Bread is also known as tamales and is baked


in a corn husk. It used to be made in bulk after the corn harvest and
stored over the winter like a hard cracker. One old recpe reads as follows:
'Scrape the kernels from fresh corn cobs and grind on a metate until
mushy. Wrap in several layers of corn husks. Place in the ashes of a wood
fire and cover with fresh corn husks or leaves to seal in the heat and
steam. Cover with a layer of moist dirt, then layer of hot coals. Stoke a
small fire over all the layers and bake the breads about 1 hr. Remove the
packets from the ash pit, peel off the husks, and eat hot.' Husk corn
reserving husks for wrapping. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernals off cob.
Scrape down the cop with the dull side of blade to release the corn milk.
In a processor, bring the kernels to a mush. Add the lard, water and salt,
and process to a paste.

Divide into equal portions. Fill the husks by laying out the husks so that
the natural curl faces up to the enclose the filling. Spoon filling
liengthwise into the center of husk. Using stirps of husks, tie both ends
to enclose the filling. Gently bend the bread in half to tie the two ends
together. Wrap each bread in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet or
roasting pan.

Preheat oven to 350

Place the pan in the center of oven and bake for 1 hr. or until firm to
touch. serve hot and stor in fridge up to five days.

LAMB CHILI WITH MASA HARINA DUMPLINGS

By: Gourmet Menus February 2006

for chili
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.

LAMB-STUFFED GREEN CHILES WITH FRESH TOMATO PUREE

By: Lois Ellen Frank

12 firm green new mexico mild or anaheim ch; iles


1 tablespoon cooking oil
2/3 cup finely chopped wild onions or yello; w onions
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1 cup adobe bread crumbs *see note
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspo; on dried
fresh tomato puree:
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 pounds tomatoes, coarsely chopped
sour cream, garnish (optional)

*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.

LAVENDER FOCACCIA

1 tablespoon sugar or honey


1 2/3 cup warm water (110 to 115
1 degrees), divided
1 (1/4 oz.) envelope active
1 dry yeast
5 cup all-purpose flour or bread
1 flour
2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
1 flowers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coarse salt (sea or kosher)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

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
rack to cool, Let baked loaf cool for 30 minutes before cutting (this
Page 431

is because the bread is still cooking while it is cooling).

LEDA'S DANDY BEER

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.

LENAPE SHËWAHSAPAN (GRAPE DUMPLINGS)

By: Manyfeathers

6 cups grape juice


1 tbs butter
1 cup sugar or more if the grapes are tar; t
1 1/2 cups grape juice
3 cups flour might need more or less

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.

MAIZE AND BERRY BANNOCK

By: 'Spirit of the Harvest': Beverly Cox and Martin Jacobs

1/2 cups white corn meal *


1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons walnut or corn oil
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup chopped dried berries (or cranberri; es)
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup corn or sunflower oil (enough for 2; ' oil in your pan)

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
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAIZE OR CORN IN THE NATIVE AMERICAN DIET COULD
HARDLY BE OVERSTATED. IT WAS THEY WHO TAUGHT EUROPEANS COLONISTS TO
PREPARE AND RELISH CORN IN ALL ITS MYRIAD FORMS: HOMINY, GRITS, FRIED
MUSH, PANCAKES, HOECAKES, PONES AND CORN BREADS.

I AM USING AN AUTHENTIC CHIPPEWA RECIPE FOR NATIVE CORN BREAD


OR 'BANNOCK' (MADE WITHOUT MILK, EGGS, WHEAT FLOUR OR BAKING
SODA/POWDER), SWEETENED WITH HONEY AND DRIED BERRIES.

THIS RECIPE IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THE CAKE-LIKE BAKED CORNBREAD


MOST PEOPLE KNOW, BEING MORE SIMILAR TO SOUTHERN HUSHPUPPIES. THE
SLIGHTLY SWEET CORN CAKES ARE BEST WARM, BUT MAKE AN EXCELLENT TRAIL
FOOD TO CARRY ON HUNTING TRIPS.
- COMBINE ALL INGREDIENTS IN MIXING BOWL
- STIR WELL TO FORM A SMOOTH THICK BATTER, LET SIT 5 MINS.
- PREHEAT APPROXIMATELY 2' OIL IN HEAVY PAN OVER MEDIUM HEAT
- DROP TABLESPOONS OF BATTER INTO HOT OIL
- FLATTEN SLIGHTLY WITH SPATULA WHILE COOKING
- FRY UNTIL WELL BROWNED AND CRISPY, TURNING ONCE
- REMOVE WHEN COOKED ON BOTH SIDES -DRAIN TO REMOVE EXCESS OIL
- SERVE WARM OR AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

* (DUE TO VARIATIONS IN CORNMEAL TEXTURE YOU MAY NEED TO ADD A


BIT MORE MEAL TO GET A SUITABLE STIFF BATTER)

MEATLESS SPANISH CHORIZO SAUSAGES WITH SPICEBERRIES

5 cloves garlic, peeled


6 common spicebush berries
2 1/2 cup cooked lima beans
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoon hot paprika
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly ground coriander
1 seeds
1 tablespoon bragg's liquid aminos,
1 tamari soy sauce, or
1 vege-sal, or
1 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoon dried oregano, finely
1 crumbled
2 teaspoon chili paste or
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 teaspoon peppercorns)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seeds
2 cup fresh cornbread bread crumbs
1 or other bread crumbs

Because common spicebush berries taste like allspice, they make a


perfect seasoning for these meatless Spanish sausage patties, also
called chorizos.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grind the garlic and spicebush
berries together in a food processor or chop them fine by hand. Add
the remaining ingredients, except the bread crumbs, and process until
the beans are mashed, or mash the ingredients together in a large
bowl with a potato masher or fork. Mix in the bread crumbs. Shape the
mixture into patties and bake the patties on an oiled cookie sheet
for 30 minutes, or cook them in an oiled frying pan with a raised

MELVIN LAROCQUE'S BANNOCK

3 c all purpose flour


3/4 ts salt
2 tb [scant] baking powder
1/2 c lard; melted *
1 1/4 c or more water; divided
1/2 c raisins, currants or dried blueberr
2 tb sugar [if fruit added]

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.

* Melted shortening, butter or margarine can be used but the taste


will be altered. Lard is traditional.

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
minutes for a golden brown exterior and a soft moist interior. The
bannock will brown easier with the addition of at least some of the
optional sugar.

This tastes best in a frying pan outdoors over a wood fire.

Variations: Substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour and/or 1/2 cup oatmeal
for up to 1 1/2 cups of white flour.

Add fresh fruit instead of dried.

Add aged shredded Cheddar cheese and/or chopped onion, garlic, herbs

MEQUITE ADOBE BREAD

By: Kokopelli Cook Book by James and Carol Cunkle

1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast


1/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups hot water
3 tablespoons lard or vegetable shortening
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup mesquite meal
1/4 cup wheat flour
4 cups all-purpose or enriched white flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons mesquite meal

In a small bowl dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water. Set aside. In
a small
saucepan place 1 1/2 cups of water, shortening and honey. Heat until
shortening is
melted. Cool to lukewarm. Place honey mixture in a large mixing bowl and
stir in
dissolved yeast. Sift together the 1/4 cup mesquite meal, flours and salt.
Add 1 cup of
the flour mixture to the honey mixture. Beat well. Gradually stir in the
remaining flour
a little at a time, beating well after each addition. The final cup will
have to be kneaded
in. Knead for ten minutes on a lightly floured surface. Dough should be
smooth, stiff, bit
pliable.

Place dough back in bowl and brush with 1 tablespoon oil. Cover with a
cloth and allow
to rise in a draft-free place until dough doubles in bulk, usually about
one hour. Punch
down the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead again for five
minutes. Divide the
dough in half and place in 2 greased baking bowls, or shape into 2 round
loaves and
place on a greased baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining oil and sprinkle
each with
one tablespoon of mesquite meal. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the
tops are lightly
browned and loaves sound hollow when tapped.

Note: This recipe works well with bread machines. Follow manufacturer's
directions.

1 1/2 c flour, whole wheat or all-purpose
1/2 c. mesquite flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 c raisins; chopped
1/2 c dried apricots; chopped
1/2 c sunflower seeds
1/2 c wheat germ
2 tbl. sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream the oil, brown sugar, and molasses
together in a bowl. Add the defrosted unsweetened orange juice
concentrate.

Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger. Blend into the
creamed mixture.

Stir in the oats, raisins, apricots, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, and
sesame seeds. This makes a very stiff batter.

Spread in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake about 20-30 minutes or until

MESQUITE BEAN CAKES

Mesquite beans

Mesquite is a common tree of the deserts of California and the


American Southwest, and its beans come in hard, pea-like pods.

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.

4-2/3 cups flour, plus enough to flour board
2/3 cup butter
solid shortening to grease baking s; heets
1 cup confectioners sugar
a few drops almond or lemon extract; (optional)

The Brioche recipe was submitted by Victoria Madison. The figure-eight


shape strongly suggests the Norwegian-American kringles, from an early
settler group in Wolf Point, Montana

Equipment: two baking sheets, large mixing bowl,


rolling pin and board, wire racks,
pastry brush for frosting

1. Heat milk to lukewarm.


2. Dissolve yeast in milk.
3. Break eggs one at a time into a cup, then beat
into the yeast mixture.
4. Seperate eggs by pouring back and forth between
shells. Reserve whites in a cup for frosting
or another use.
5. In a large mixing bowl, beat in lemon extract,
sugar, and flour.
6. Let rise six hours, or overnight in the
refrigerator.
7. Leave butter out one hour to soften.
8. Flour board and rolling pin, then roll out dough
to long, rectangular pieces.
9. Spread dough with butter.
10. Fold sides to the middle to form three layers.
11. Grease baking sheets.
12. Cut pieces of the layered dough 3/4-inch wide.
13. Twist each piece to form a figure eight.
14. Space out figure eights on the baking sheets
so that they can expand without touching.
15. Cover and let rise until doubled.
16. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

MINI PUMPKIN SOUP WITH BLUE CHEESE AND TOASTED PUMPKIN SE

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.

Puree the mixture in batches in a blender and transfer it to a


saucepan. Stir in salt and pepper to taste and water to thin the soup
if necessary.

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
soup and ladle some additional soup around each shell. Sprinkle some
crumbled blue cheese and toasted pumpkin seeds on top of each soup
and serve with the lid on top.

MOJAVE MESQUITE BREAD

1/2 c finely ground and sifted mesquite m; eal


1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tlb. oil
3/4 c water

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.

Generally, mesquite meal may substitute up to 1/3 flour content in breads.


The
advantages to mesquite meal are high soluble fiber content, protein and
fructose
sugar. The result is a food which tends to stabilize the blood sugar level.

MOM FEATHER'S FRY BREAD

5 lb all purpose flour


3 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cup powdered milk

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

MUFFIN-TOPPED VENISON CASSEROLE

----CASSEROLE----
1 lb ground venison
3 oz mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 oz tomato sauce
2 tablespoon lemon juice
----MUFFIN BATTER----
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoon oil or shortening (melted)

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.

Drain mushrooms, reserve liquid. Combine mushrooms with oil, onion,


green pepper, salt, pepper and saute over moderate heat approximately
5 minutes or until veggies are tender. Add venison and cook, stirring
until meat loses its red color. Remove from heat. Add tomato sauce,
lemon juice and mushroom liquid. Pour into a 2-quart, greased,
casserole.

Prepare muffin recipe and cover meat mixture with muffin

To make muffins: Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and


sugar--set aside. Combine milk, egg and oil. Beat at medium speed
with an electric mixer until blended--approximately 30 seconds. Add
flour mixture and beat just until moistened--DON'T overbeat! Pour
batter over meat mixture. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 25
minutes.

You can make this, using ground beef too...still good.

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.

MY VERSION FOR A BATCH OF FRYBREAD-

4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup oil
1/2 to 1 cup powdered milk**2 cups water (; a little more if more mil

** (don't use the


commercial kind, if you cn get commodity)
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in it and pour in the
water and oil. Knead thoroughly to a stiff dough. Add more flour -- it
shouldn't be sticky. Flour in bread varies by moisture in the air. Take a
handful and pat it into a flat round with a depression in both sides of the
center, or make a twisted round. Depending on the shape and how much you
knead and twist and pull it, the fry bread will taste quite different. Slap
it around plenty, and make sure that dough isn't sticky.
For Indian tacos (or to serve with wojape berry pudding over it), make a
flat taco, about 8-9' in diameter and 1 1/2' thick at the edges, with a
depression in the center of both sides (to hold the sauce).
Fry it in hot oil, either a fryer or frypan with at least 1 1/2' of oil in
it. Keep crumbs and such skimmed off the oil. Oil temperature should be
about 375, not smoking. Breads will puff and turn golden. Flip over to fry
on both sides. Remove to drain on paper, don't stack them on top of each
other until cool. Even if you're going to make thousands for a powwow, this
is about the right size for a working batch. Make batch after batch after
batch..... It will be noticeable that the ones different people shape come
out different even if making them from the same dough. If feeding kids,
work more powdered milk into it. How many it makes depends on the size you
make them.
Cleanup and saving the frying oil: skim out all crumbs on the top. Cut up
an apple and fry slices in the fat. Cool it. Pour through a funnel lined
with a cloth towel back into can, discarding the brown sludge at the
bottom.

NATIVE AMERICAN BREAD PUDDING

1 cup raisins
4 cups bite-sized pieces day-old french br; ead
1/2 cup toasted black walnuts, coarsely cho; pped
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 cups grated mild cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 1/2 cups hot water
4 tbs. unsalted butter

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.

1. Soak raisins 20 minutes in warm water to cover, and drain.

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,
using remaining raisins, nuts, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add remaining 1 cup
grated cheese, and spread evenly over top.

4. Heat sugar in saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until


sugar has melted, about 10 minutes. Add hot water slowly to prevent
splashing, and let sugar syrup dissolve.

5. Add butter, and stir constantly until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove


from heat, and pour over layers, making sure sugar syrup saturates bottom.

6. Bake loaf 35 to 40 minutes, or until cheese browns and sugar syrup


bubbles. Remove from oven, place on wire rack and cool. Cut into
11/2-inch-thick slices, and serve with Prickly Pear Syrup, Peach Honey, or
any fruit syrup or sauce.

1 cup cornmeal
----CHIMICHURI SAUCE----
1/2 cup cilantro; minced
1/2 cup parsley; minced
1/2 cup onion; finely minced
1/2 cup garlic; roasted & minced
1 1/2 teaspoon oregano; finely minced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorn; cracked
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil (or more to taste)

Note: If desired, crayfish, clams, lobsters or oysters may be


substituted.

Heat the sunflower seed or peanut oil in a medium cast-iron skillet


over medium heat, then quickly saute the onion in the hot oil,
stirring often. Add parsley and stir well. Add the 1/4 cup of yellow
cornmeal, stirring continually and cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from
heat and cool.

In a large howl, combine the crabmeat, lemon juice, salt, paprika,


white pepper, dill weed, celery, pepper, scallions, chicken stock,
and eggs. Blend these ingredients thoroughly, cover, and chill for 3
hours.

Heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Shape the crabmeat mixture into 16 well-proportioned cakes about 3
inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Dust each side lightly
with the remaining cup of fine cornmeal, and ease the cakes one at a
time, without crowding, into the hot oil. Quickly brown them on both
Page 504

sides, cooking for a total of about 15 minutes. Serve hot, garnished


with additional green onions (scallions). watercress, dill, and lots
of chimichuri sauce below.

Makes 16 cakes

To Make the Chimichuri Sauce: In a medium glass or ceramic bowl,


combine all ingredients, blending thoroughly and adding additional
olive oil if needed. Taste the mixture and balance the seasonings,
then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Serve cold or at
room temperature. May be pureed for a finer sauce or prepared more
coarsely for a salsa-like presentation. The additions of l/2 cup
roasted pine nuts and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese brings this to
the general nature of a cilantro pesto. This concoction should be
peppery-spicy!

NATIVE CREE BANNOCK BREAD

By: Blacksheep

6 cups of flour
1 cup of lard
3 table spoons baking powder
1 table spoon salt
3 1/2 cups warm water

Bannock bread is a delightful treat that can be eatten with anything as we


do
with Fry bread, hope you try it and enjoy...
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
you like
and enjoy.

NATIVEWAY ANUH'S CHEROKEE BEAN BALLS

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
with the pan gravy and eat..... Very simple, very nutritious and very
traditional.

NATIVEWAY MUSHROOMS, GINGERBREAD-LOOKING

1 gingerbread mushrooms
1 salt
1 grease

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.

Warning: These recipes are written in their original text. However,


it is highly recommended you use commercially grown food-safe
mushrooms in place of the traditional mushrooms called for in these

NAVAJO CORN BREAD

By: Southwest Indian cookbook)

7 ears fresh corn kernal removed or 16 oz.; bag of frozen corn


2 tablespoons lard (substitute butter?)
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt 'to taste'

If you don't have fresh corn, 3 ears'-worth of kernels is about= 2 cups. I


would have to weigh that on a scale to get the frozen equivalent.

Grind corn kernels in a blender and then transfer to a bowl, add lard and
water to make a paste. Divide into 7 parts and fill the reserved husks.
Roll up and tie husks; wrap in aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour or
until firm. (Again, maybe substitute grape leaves or parchment inside the
foil?).

NAVAJO FRIED BREAD

1 flour- self raising


1 water

and turn after one side is done. Cook till golden.

to a diameter of about nine inches.

Heat fat at least an inch deep in a heavy iron skillet. Drop thin
rounds of dough into hot fat and fry to a light brown on one side.
Then turn and fry other side. As it fries, the bread puffs up and
becomes light.

Drain each piece on paper towel. Serve hot with butter, jam or honey.
Makes about 18-24 pieces, about nine inches across.

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour


1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons lard, chilled and cut into small pi; eces
1 cup ice water
1 tablespoon sea salt (optional)
1 cup lard for frying

A traditional Native American bread. Great served with honey, jam, or


butter. 1
In a large bowl mix together flour, non-fat dry milk powder, baking powder,
and salt. Cut in 5 tablespoons of the

and mix until the dough pulls cleanly
away from the sides of the bowl.
2
Cover with a towel and set aside for 2 hours.
3
Divide the dough into two large pieces. Shape each piece into a circle.
Roll each piece out on a lightly floured
board to 1/4 inch thick. Make 2 parallel cuts through the dough without
cutting all the way through. Let the dough
rest briefly.
4
Heat the remaining lard in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Once it is hot, add the first shaped
dough. Fry for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until golden, turn over and

NAVAJO FRY BREAD 3

4 cup all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup vegetable shortening

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 oat and stretch them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Poke a
hole witha 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. Source: Gourmet Magazine April 1993 Pg. 193-194

NEIGHBORHOOD MESQUITE HOLIDAY BARS

By: Brad Lancaster

1/2 cup of organic backyard honey


1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup of water
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons organic butter
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cup of organic whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of organic nuts
1 1/2 cup of mesquite flour
1/2 cup of organic raisins

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.

NEW ENGLAND CORN PUDDING (INDIAN PUDDING)

3 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces

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.

PANOCHA

½ (one-half) cup corn meal


½ (one-half) cup molasses (or sorgh; um)
1 quart hot milk
½ (one-half) teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
½ (one-half) teaspoon ginger
1 egg (well beaten)
1 cup cold milk
¼ (one-fourth) cup granulated sugar
¼ (one-fourth) cup raisins (optiona; l)

I am trying to collect history on a dessert called Panocha. This is also


known as Indian Pudding. There are many variations of the recipe, some make
it with corn meal, white flour and molasses or brown sugar, but the end
results are very similar. My mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother use
an actual Panocha flour that is milled in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They
add wheat flour, sugar and brown sugar to make the Panocha. I have
researched the internet to try and find the origin of Panocha but haven't
had any success. I am asking you because I found that Panocha is linked
with Native American recipes.

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.

If you can help, or direct me to resources to find the history of Panocha,


I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Robyn Garcia

SOME HISTORY AND A RECIPE FOR INDIAN PUDDING

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.

Alta Gochnauer, a native of North Branford, Conn., works at the Carmel


(Ind.) Racquet Club. She often treats patrons of the club with her homespun
confections and other snacks.

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:

Heat quart of milk to scalding in saucepan . . . stir in cornmeal slowly,


stirring constantly . . . Heat to boiling and cook, stirring constantly,
until thickened (about 10 minutes). . . Stir in butter and remaining
ingredients except cold milk . . . Pour into well-buttered two-quart
casserole dish and bake 30 minutes at 300 degrees . . . Stir in cold milk
and bake two (2) hours (300 degrees).

Serve warm or cold with ice cream, cream, whipped cream, or hard sauce.

Leftovers, if they exist, should be refrigerated.

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

5 cups sprouted wheat flour (panocha flour; )


2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
9 cups boiling water
2 cups sugar (optional)
4 tablespoons butter

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

2 1/2 c. (657ml) water


2 large leafy stems of epazote
1 tsp. sea salt
8 oz. (225g) hulled raw pumpkin seeds, about 1 2; /3 c. (313ml)
12 freshly made, warm corn tortillas, 5' to 5; 1/2'(13-14cm) in diameter
5 large hard-cooked eggs, shelled, roughly; chopped, and salted
for serving:
1 c. (250ml) salsa
2 large hard-cooked eggs, white and yolks s; eparated and finely chopp
12 epazote leaves (optional)

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.

Using an electric coffee/spice grinder, grind a portion of the seeds at a


time to a slightly textured consistency, 5 to 6 seconds. If the seeds are
ground too fine, then it will be more difficult to extract the oil.

Have a small glass bowl ready for the 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.

soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 6
tablespoons maple syrup, melted butter, and eggs. Add to dry
ingredients and mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the
muffin cups, smoothing the tops.

Bake for 15 minutes, then cover muffins with a sheet of aluminum foil
and bake an additional 5 minutes. Test to be sure muffins are done.
Invert muffins onto a rack or plate. Serve warm.

PICURIS INDIAN BREAD PUDDING

4 cups toasted bread crumbs, divided use


2 cups grated mild cheddar cheese, divided; use
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided use
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided use
2 cups sugar, divided use
4 cups water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

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.

Yield: serves 6-8

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.

For 8 scrolls of bread, serving 4 people:

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.

PINTO BEAN ENFRIJOLADAS

3 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup olive oil


2 cup chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
32 oz canned pinto beans, drained
1 1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon minced serrano chile with
1 seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried mexican oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
12 6-inch-diameter corn
1 tortillas
2 1/4 cup crumbled queso ranchero*
1 chopped fresh cilantro
1 sour cream

Luis Miguel López Alanís of Morelia, Mexico, writes: "Although I grew


up in Mexico, it was in Chicago of all places that I learned to cook
Mexican food. During the two years I lived there, I missed my
country's food so much that I wrote to my mother in Zitácuaro and
asked her to send me recipes so I could cook for myself.

"Now I work as a tour guide in Michoacán, my home state, where I lead


tours on Morelia's colonial history and architecture, and show
tourists the Paricutín Volcano and monarch butterfly sanctuaries. And
sometimes I do restaurant and market tours. Whenever business slows
down, I enjoy cooking for my family. Of course, what I make depends
on what my wife, Verónica, has in mind. Thanks to her, I've learned
more great recipes, like the enfrijoladas from her home state,
Tlaxcala, and her lively avocado and tomatillo salsa."

Enfrijoladas are a popular breakfast dish in Mexico.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Heat 3


tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and
garlic and sauté until onions are golden, about 8 minutes. Add beans,
1 1/2 cups milk, and 1 1/2 cups water; simmer until onions are
tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Mash beans coarsely
in skillet. Mix in chile and all spices; season with salt and pepper.
Add more milk or water by 1/4 cupfuls to thin bean mixture to
slightly soupy consistency.

Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in another large skillet over medium-high
heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time; cook until tortilla softens, about 30
seconds per side. Transfer tortilla to work surface. Place 1 heaping
tablespoon cheese in center of each tortilla; fold in half. Place in
prepared dish, overlapping tortillas slightly. Top with bean sauce.

Bake until enfrijoladas are heated through and sauce is bubbling,


about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining queso ranchero and
cilantro. Serve with sour cream.

*Mildly salty cheese that crumbles easily; also labled queso fresco or
queso casero. Queso cotija or mild feta can be used instead.

PLAINS INDIAN FRY BREAD

2 cups all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
vegetable oil, for deep-frying

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.

3. Add enough oil to a deep cast-iron skillet or a deep-fat fryer to reach


a depth of 1 to 2 inches and heat it to 350 to 365 degrees. (The oil is
ready when a piece of dough sizzles as soon as it is placed in the pan.) In
batches, fry the squares of dough, turning once, until browned on both
sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve
warm, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar or drizzled with wild berry syrup, or
topped with taco fixings.

POTAWATOMI PUMPKIN BREAD

11/2 cups organic, unbleached flour


11/2 cups mashed or puréed cooked pumpkin (ca; nned may be used)
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon spiceberry or allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
whipped cream (optional)

'Pumpkin bread is a popular gift among the many Native American tribes in
Oklahoma,'says Oden. 'My grandmother, mother, aunts and I spent many
holiday
hours in the kitchen telling stories and harmonizing in the style of the
Andrew Sisters as the spicy fragrance of our version of this bread filled
the air.'

"Pumpkin bread is a popular gift among the many Native American tribes
in Oklahoma,"says Oden. "My grandmother, mother, aunts and I spent
many holiday hours in the kitchen telling stories and harmonizing in
the style of the Andrew Sisters as the spicy fragrance of our version
of this bread filled the air."

PUEBLO BEAR PAW BREAD

2 cup hot water


2 teaspoon solid vegetable shortening,
1 lard, butter, or margarine
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 pkg (about 2 tablespoons) active
1 dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110ø)

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.

Grease 4 (9-inch) pie pans or 2 baking sheets. Divide dough in


quarters and form each piece into a flat circle about 8 inches in
diameter. Fold each circle almost in half, allowing the bottom to
extend about an inch beyond the top. With a sharp knife, slash the
dough twice, cutting through both layers of dough, about halfway back
to the fold. This will form three separated sections -- the bear's
paw. Place each loaf in a greased pie plate, or on a baking sheet,
curving the folded side in a crescent shape. Separate the slashes.
cover loosely with a towel and let rise until doubled in bulk.

Preheat oven to 350ø 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. Makes 4 loaves.

PUEBLO PUMPKIN/SQUASH PIÑON NUT SWEETBREAD

1 x no ingredients

1 1/2 cups unbleached flour


1 cup finely mashed or pureed pumpkin/squash
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
2 eggs beaten foamy
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup pine nuts

Preheat oven to 350. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder,
sugar, spices. Stir in pumpkin, eggs, butter. Stir pine nuts into thick
batter. Scrape into a greased 6 x 9 loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until knif
inserted in bread comes out clean.
This sweetish, spicy bread goes well with soups, stews, and can also be a
dessert, especially if you cut it apart and put yoghurt or applesauce over
it.

Rio Grande Pueblo peoples traditionally served a variant of this sweetbread


to parties of nut-pickers in September when piñon nuts were bing picked
from
the mountain slope trees. Families would (and some still do) camp for many
weeks in traditional areas reserved to clans. In the recipe you can use
either cooking-type pumpkin (these have necks and thick, meaty bodies, not
like jack o' lantern pumpkins) or a sweet bright orange squash, like
butternut.

Mary Teller, of Minneapolis, adapted this recipe from Native Harvest


cookbook for a cooking class at one of the Cities food co-ops. It was later
published, along with her article "Thanksgiving Every Day: Native Cultures
Gave Thanks Throughout Planting, Growing and Harvesting Seasons" in the
Nov.-Dec., 1995 Co-op Consumer News, which goes to all members of all the
Twin Cities food co-ops. I don't know anything about her other than what I

PUERCO ENTOMATADO - YUCATAN

3 pounds pork, cut into 1' cubes


6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups water
12 fresh tomatillos, husks removed (should e; qual about half the
volume of pork)
3 fresh green serrano chiles, whole
additional water for simmering toma; tillos and chiles
1 bunch fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/4 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
optional: 2 or 3 small zucchinis (m; exican zucchinis, aka
calabazitas, preferred.) (should be; slightly less than the v
tomatillos.)
serve with: corn tortillas crumbl

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.

If using calabazitas/zucchinis, trim the ends, halve them


lengthwise, and cut into 1' long pieces. Place the pieces on top of
the pork (when only 1/2 cup of water remains with the pork.)

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.)

Note: I recommend heating the tortillas separately on a hot


griddle/comal, and keep them wrapped in a small towel in a tortilla
warmer. This gives a much better result than microwaving them.

a stiff dough you have to stir with hands. Turn dough out onto floured
board
and knead for 10-15 minutes until it becomes elastic and doesn't stick to
the boare. Place dough in large greased bowl, grease its surface and set in
warm place (80-85 degrees) to rise until doubled (it will take longer than
white or whole-wheat breads; set in metal bowl in dishpan or bigger bowl of
hot water to help it along). Punch down and form into 3 cannon-ball loaves.
Grease tops of loaves, let rise again until doubled in bulk. Bake in
preheated 375 degree oven about 1 hour.A This bread is orange-brown, not
dark like most bakery pumpernickle, because it uses no molasses.

PUMPKIN BREAD

2 cups self-rising flour, plus 1 to 2 cups; for kneading


2 cups cooked, mashed, fresh pumpkin or 1; 16-ounce can pumpkin
1 tablespoon warm milk or water
3/4 cup brown or white sugar
oil or shortening for frying

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.

Heat oil in cast iron skillet (I used my electric wok for this one)
to 350 degrees. Cut the firm dough into quarters and roll up into
balls, then pat them -- like hamburger patties. You can make them
large or small. Put into the hot oil. Let cook on one side for 2- 1/2
minutes and then on the other side. They will rise up to the top like
frybread or donuts. Take them out and drain off excess oil. Sprinkle
confectionery sugar on them and serve hot. From: "Manyfeathers1"

1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
----PUMPKINPINON BREAD----
2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sunflower oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cup cooked pumpkin
1 1/2 cup roasted pinons

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.
Page 587

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.

Serve with the pumpkin sauce and Ice Cream as dessert.

*** 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

1 purslane tips (pre-cooked)


1 egg
1 bread crumbs (enough to make
1 damp mixture)
1 medium onion (diced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 salt and pepper

Combine ingredients and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or


until top is browning. Try purslane out in your favorite casserole
dishes. I am not a big fan of damp bread but even I enjoy the above
recipe.

Also be sure to try out purslane as a batter dipped fried companion


to your other wild fritters such as dandelion, morel and daylilies.
Simply dip in an egg/milk mixture and roll in flour and spices. Deep
fry in your favorite oil and serve hot.

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.

QUAIL WITH CRAWFISH DRESSING

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

Okay, here's one of my favorite quail recipies:

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.

You'll need to run this mixture through a strainer to finish the


stock. It probably wouldn't taste to good with a mess of crawfish
shells in it ;-)

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.

Add crawfish (between a half to a full pound of tail meat). Simmer


Page 592

about five minutes.

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).

Return processed mixture to the stock. Use crumbled cornbread to


absorb the liquid.

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.

until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan.

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.

5. Stir in apricots, cherries, cranberries, and pecans. Add salt to taste.


Keep warm until squash are ready.

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.

RABBIT WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

1 mm format by helen peagram


3 lb rabbit -- cut into pieces
750 ml red wine -- cotes du rhone
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 whole salt -- to taste
1 ground pepper -- to taste
40 cloves garlic -- unpeeled
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme -- or 4 sprigs
1 fresh
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary -- or 1 sprig
1 fresh
1 garlic croutons -- recipe
1 follows
1 fresh parsley -- chopped

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.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed flameproof


casserole. Add the rabbit and salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes,
then turn the pieces over and saute another 5 minutes. This can be
done in batches. Don't worry if the pan scorches a bit; it won't
affect the flavor of the dish. Remove from the pot.

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 AND BEAVER MORSELS > BUCK PETERSON

----ROAST ROCKY RACCOON----


1 raccoon
1 favorite dressing (optional)
----BEAVER TAIL----
1 beaver tail
1 water
2 tablespoon vinegar
1 beaten egg
1 bread crumbs
----BEAVER TAIL WITH NOODLES----
1 beaver tail
2 quart boiling water
1 carrots, onions, celery
1 egg noodles
1 can peas; drained

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.

The famous recipe is: Roast Rocky Raccoon


Cook the clean carcass in the oven for about 3 hours in a slow oven
(300 deg. F) Baste frequently with drippings every 30 minutes. Make
gravy from the drippings. Season and serve with yams.

Mother Nature's "Special" Animals


There are a number of God's creatures that have the misfortune of
being ugly, smelly, greasy, dangerous, fish- eating, skin-covered
garbage bags. Some of these are thought to be eaten only by members
of inferior races and low economic classes. This is not just and this
cookbook will put these tasty morsels within reach of all of us.
The top seven contenders are the beaver, muskrat, opossum, porcupine,
badger, wolverine, and skunk. These animals may need special
handling, both at the time of purchase and during preparation.

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.
Page 601

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.

BEAVER TAIL WITH NOODLES:


Or instead of cutting into slices, cut into chunks. Add to 2 quarts
of boiling water. Add carrots, celery, onions and cook until
vegetables are done.

Or Add chunks to your favorite pea soup or baked beans. P. S. I've


never known anyone who has tried this.

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.

Using another Tbsp or so of the bacon drippings, saute the diced


rattlesnack (or pork) until done. Chop the cooled bacon and add all
the meat to the chile. Simmer for another 1/2 hour, or until the meat
is tender. Add more water if necessary, and add more of the blended
jalapeno if the chile needs more kick. Salt to taste.

The tequila adds wonderful flavor to the chile... stir it in just


before serving, or let your guests add their own to taste. A little
goes a long way!! The chile can be served with grated cheddar
cheese, fresh chopped onion, sour cream and tortillas or corn bread.

RICH VENISON AND MUSHROOM STEW

2 lb good stewing venison - (trimmed wei; ght)


1 onion
3/4 lb small flat mushrooms
2 1/2 fl oz red wine vinegar
2 1/2 fl oz water
3/4 pint (scant) beef or game stock
1 butter
1 oil
1 flour
1 sugar
1 bay leaves
----FOR THE FORCEMEAT BALLS----
8 oz fresh breadcrumbs
8 oz grated suet
2 lemons (grated zest only)
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large egg
3 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

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.

To finish the dish, bring everything back to room temperature. Add


the prepared mushrooms to the stew, pushing them well down into the
gravy, then cover the surface with the forcemeat balls and bake -
without a lid to keep the forcemeat balls really crisp - at 400 F
(200 C) gas mark 6 for about 25 minutes.

ROAST STUFFED SQUABS

1 medium onion, finely chopped


6 tablespoon butter
1 cup fine soft stale bread crumbs
1 cup chopped cooked ham
1/2 cup pine nuts, chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
4 squabs (1 lb each)
1 cleaned
4 pieces of fat bacon
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup butter - melted

Saute onion in butter until golden. Mix next five ingredients.


Stuff the birds with the mixture, close openings with poultry pins
and lace with twine.

Put, breast side up on rack in shallow roasting pan. Cover the


breast of each with a piece of bacon.

Melt 1/4 cup of butter and mix with the wine. Roast squabs
in preheated slow oven (325 degrees) for one hour and 15 minutes,
basting frequently with butter wine mixture.

Remove bacon during the last 15 minutes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Squabs can be spilt and broiled, stuffed and roasted, sauteed or


stewed. They need long, slow cooking and should be served well done.
Squabs should be eaten with the fingers as it is impossible to cut
off the meat with a knife and fork.

TO ROAST

Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff if desired just
before cooking, allowing 1/4 cup of stuffing for each squab. Brush
with melted butter and roast on rack in 400 degrees for 45-60
minutes OR until drumstick moves easily in the joint. Brush with
more meted butter occasionally during roasting.

TO BROIL

Wash dry and split squabs. Put skin side down on a rack in a broiler
pan.
Brush with melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Broil 7 - 9
inches from heat for 30 minutes, or until tender, turning squab once
during this time. Brush with more butter during cooking.

TO SAUTE

Cut squab into quarters and bread pieces or dip into flour. Season
Page 613

with salt and pepper. Saute in shallow fat until brown and then
continue cooking over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until squab is
tender.

ROAST WILD BOAR/PIG

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

A month-old boar/pig is best for roasting. Set aside a large boiler of


scalding water. Lay the pig in cold water for fifteen minutes; then,
holding it by the hind leg, plunge it into the boiling water, and
shake it about violently until you can pull the hair off by the
handful. Take it out, wipe it dry, and with cloth or broom rub the
hair off, brushing from the tail to the head, until the skin is
perfectly clean. Cut it open, take out the entrails, and wash
thoroughly with cold water, then with soda and water to remove any
unpleasant odor; next with salt and water. Rinse with water and wipe
inside. Then wrap in a wet cloth, and keep this saturated with cold
water until you are ready to stuff it.

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.

ROSE QUAIL

1/2 dozen red rose buds


1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon cornmeal
2 tablespoon anis

Submitted by Pam Hayes-Bohanan

My husband and I recently made a delicious dinner by adapting the


recipe for quail-in-rose-petal sauce found in the novel Like Water for
Chocolate. The book gives the ingredients, but doesn't tell how to
make it. We used chicken instead of quail and changed some of the
other ingredients, and figured out on our own how to put them
together.

Chop the roses into small pieces and grind in blender with the almonds
and garlic. Melt the butter and add honey. Stir the rose, garlic and
almond mixture into the honey and butter. Add the cornmeal and anis.
The mixture will be a thick paste. Use a spoon to spread onto the
chicken. Bake the chicken as usual, basting if the coating gets too
dry. The rose petals and anise will infuse the chicken with wonderful
flavor.

Use additional rose buds or petals as a garnish when presenting the


chicken.

RUSS COHEN'S FALL HARVEST MUFFINS

1 1/3 cup white flour (1/2 and 1/2


1 with corn meal)
2/3 cup acorn flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/3 cup melted butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 fruit and nuts:
1 cup peeled, chopped apples
1 cup sliced raw cranberries
1/2 cup chopped hickory nuts

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.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Get well-greased muffin tins ready.


Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl; mix wet ingredients
together in another bowl (beat eggs before adding); then mix dry and
wet ingredients together with just a few strokes (do not overmix;
lumps are OK), quickly fold in fruit and nuts, then spoon mixture
into muffin tins, filling up each compartment about halfway (add
water to any surplus compartments to protect the pan and help keep
the muffins moist while baking).

Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Makes 18 small or 12 large


muffins.

SALEEAK (ESKIMO FRY BREAD) [R

1/2 cup all purpose flour


3/4 tsp baking powder
enough water
oil to fry
sugar and cinnamon
melted butter to dip in ( optional; )
m

Heat one inch or more of oil in a heavy duty pot or small skillet ( 7 to 9
inches ) to 360F ..
* Meanwhile mix flour and baking powder and then mix in enough water (
around 1 cup ) until a thick batter forms. Drop the batter by a spoonfuls
or ladle into the hot oil, spreading batter as thin as possible with back
of spoon so batter almost fills the pot.This will give you a large disc. Or
you can make smaller 'puffs' just by dropping by heaping tablespoonfuls.
* Fry until browned on each side ( try to turn only once ). Drain on paper
towels. Dust heavily with granulated sugar mixed with cinnamon. Or dip in
melted butter then in sugar.Serve immediately.
* You can double the recipe if desired.You might want to add a dash of salt
to the recipe if desired.

SCALLOPED SAGE HEN (OTHER POULTRY WILL SUBSTITUTE)

1 sage hen, 3 lb, prepared for


1 cooking
1 water to cover
5 teaspoon butter
5 teaspoon flour
1 salt and pepper
2 cup soft bread crumbs
4 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon herbs - thyme, sage,
1 marjoram mixed

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.

Combine butter and flour in a saucepan. Stir in cooking liquid to


make a gravy. Season with salt and pepper.

Toss bread crumbs with butter and herbs.

Layer meat, gravy, crumbs, repeating once or until all are used. Bake
uncovered at 350 for 15-20 min.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CACTUS

By: Better Homes and Gardens

2 to 3 cactus pads (6 to 8 oz. total) o; r one 8 oz. can nopalitos


pieces), rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped red or green sweet pepper
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
8 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash ground black pepper
flour tortillas, warmed
salsa

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 PUMPKIN BREAD

recipe

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.

SEMINOLE PUMPKIN BREAD #2

By: Rick O.

text file

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.

SHARON'S SWEDISH BREAKFAST CRACKERS

3/4 cup butter, room temperature


1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
4 cup whole wheat flour
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup milk

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.

Preheat the oven to 400*F. Lightly grease two 17 x 14-inch rimless


baking sheets. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with the
sugar; add the egg and beat until light. Stir the flours together
with the baking powder and salt. Add to the creamed mixture along
with the milk and mix until dough is well blended. Divide dough into
2 parts Flatten each half of the dough and place one on each greased
baking pan. Sprinkle lightly with flour. With a rolling pin, roll
dough out right on the baking sheet, adding flour as necessary to
keep from sticking, until the dough is 12 x 15 inches and about 1/4
inch thick. Pierce all over with a fork. With a straight knife, cut
into 2x3-inch rectangles, leaving them in place Bake for 12 to 15
minutes or until light brown. Remove from the oven, and with a sharp
knife, separate the crackers where they were cut before baking,
leaving them in place. Turn the oven off and return crackers to the
oven Makes about 48 crackers

SHUSWAP BLUEBERRY BANNOCK (EPANGISHIMOG PAKEWEJIGAN)

3 cups all purpose flour


1 tbsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup blueberries

1. Mix the dry ingredient together.

2. Add the water and mix well and quickly.

3. Add the blueberries and fold into batter.

4. Spread batter on a pie plate (I would presume, a greased pie plate) and
bake at 425 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Serve hot, cut in wedges

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
web sometime back--Gutsey Gourmet I'm pretty sure--it's just one type of
Shusway Bannock--I haven't tried it yet, but the blueberries in the batter
sounds like a yummy addition.

2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
dry ingredients
1-1/4 cups cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pinon nuts (pine nuts), toasted
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels, roasted
15 fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 small onion, diced

Serving this corn bread in a skillet or rustic corn bread pan is a


comforting, homey touch plus the thick cast iron keeps the bread warm at
the table. In
pioneer days, corn bread was often made in Dutch ovens (also called bake
ovens). The large cast iron cooking vessels were imported from Europe and
used
for cooking foods over campfires or on the hearth next to the main
fireplace.
As the name suggests, the Dutch oven originated in Holland in the 1600s,
but
it was later patented and produced in large quantities by Abraham Darby at
Colebrookdale in England, one of the first major centers of the Industrial
Revolution. In this recipe, the flavors of the sage and pinons, or pine
nuts,
give the bread a richness and earthiness that evoke the open range and
hillsides
of the SouthwestPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk together the butter, oil, water, buttermilk, and eggs in a mixing
bowl.
Set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients and sift into a separate mixing bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until completely
incorporated.
Stir in the pine nuts, corn kernels, sage, and onion until incorporated.
Coat a 10-inch ovenproofcast iron skillet with softened butter (about 2
tablespoons) and heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove the hot skillet and pour the batter into it.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a paring knife or toothpick comes out
clean when inserted in the center.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool slightly.
Serve out of the skillet.

SMALL BIRD AND BACON STEW WITH WALNUTS OR HAZELNUTS

6 fatty rashers of bacon,


1 chopped roughly
3 cloves garlic
4 pigeons or other small game
1 birds (6 if very small)
225 gm (8 oz) mushrooms, whatever
1 variety, chopped roughly
75 gm (3 oz) roughly chopped
1 roasted hazelnuts or
1 walnuts
300 ml (10 fl oz, 1 1/4 cups) real
1 ale
150 ml (5 fl oz, 3/4 cup) water
3 bay leaves
1 little salt and freshly
1 ground black pepper
6 coarse slices brown bread

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.

2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder

garnish (optional)

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.

Puree the beans in an electric blender or food processor, using a little of


the milk if the beans are too dry. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl
and stir in the pureed beans, milk, and egg to make a thick batter. Heat a
little vegetable oil in a skillet over moderate heat and drop the batter by
heaping tablespoonfuls. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4 to 5
minutes total. Keep warm in a warm oven or serve at room temperature.
Garnish with sour cream and chopped cilantro or scallions if desired. Note:
I have found that if the beans are warm they will blend a whole lot better
than when they are cold.

Yield: serves 4 to 6.

SQUASH OR PUMPKIN BLOSSOM FRITTERS (PUEBLO STYLE)

2 dozen large squash blossoms


(4 dozen of the smaller pumpkin blo; ssoms)
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin powder
2 3 cups finely ground cornmeal (masa harina; )
oil for deep frying

If you're a gardener or truck farmer, you can do this; otherwise


you'll not find blossoms. Farmers must thin the blossoms of these
vines, because the vine can support only a couple of pumpkins or a few
squash. But they don't usually bring the flowers to market. Perhaps
you can persuade a local organic grower to give you some, or your
health food co-op to carry them in their short early-summer season.
and a potential big-flower-harvest at season's near-end when the
shortnss of the growing season left means no flowers can finish fruit.

Rinse and pat blossoms dry. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs with milk,
chili, salt, cumin. Dip blossoms in egg mix, then roll gentle in
cornmeal. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to set coating. Heat 2 '
of oil in a deep saucepan to hot but not smoking (3750). Fry blossoms
a few at a time until golden, drain on paper towels. Keep warm in 2500
oven until ready to serve.

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.

4 tablespoon butter
10 fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup port wine

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.
after 1-1/2 hours baste bird every 15 minutes and remove cover for
the final 30 minutes to brown. Make gravy from the pan dirppings, and
let your creativity flow as your prepare teh rest of the meal to

STEWBURNER'S MOUNTAIN OYSTERS

2 lb beef testicles
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup red wine
1 salt
1 black pepper
1 garlic powder
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.

STIR-FRIED BUFFALO IN BLACK-BEAN SAUCE

1 stephen ceideburg
----SAUCE----
3/4 cup dried black beans, soaked overnight; , drained
3 cup defatted chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 ancho chile *
3 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
----INDIAN BREAD STICKS----
1/2 cup low-fat milk, warmed
2 teaspoon baking powder
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 nonstick vegetable spray
----STIRFRY----
8 oz buffalo or beef flank steak
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small carrot, julienne cut
1/2 poblano chile **
1/2 small red onion, julienne cut
2 bunch watercress (8 ounces) ***

* stem, seeds and membrane removed, chopped (see note) ** seeds and
membranes removed, julienne cut (see note) *** stems removed,
thoroughly washed and drained (4 cups)

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.

To make sauce: Combine black beans, chicken stock, ginger, garlic,


chile and vinegar in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over
medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are
tender, about 1 hour. Pour into blender or food processor, add the
salt and blend until smooth.

To make breadsticks: While sauce is simmering, preheat oven to 375


degrees. Combine warm milk, baking powder, green onions, salt and
pepper; mix well. Add flour and knead until the dough becomes smooth,
adding more flour if needed, about 3 to 5 minutes. Allow to rest 30
minutes at room temperature.

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

lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.

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.

1/4 cup raw peanuts, toasted
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup mellow (light-colored) miso
8 common spicebush berries,

2 large cloves garlic, peeled

Here's a nutty salad dressing, seasoned with berries of the common


spicebush-but there's nothing common about it.

TAOS BREAD

1 1/2 cup water


3 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoon salt
2 pkg dry yeast
1/2 cup very warm water
6 1/2 cup sifted all purpose flour

This Pueblo Indian bread is shaped in the form of the sun-- to honor
the Sun God (who resides in Arizona *:))

Combine water, butter, sugar ad salt in a small saucepan Heat slowly


until butter melts; cool to lukewarm.

Sprinkle yeast into very warm water in large bowl.Stir in yeast until
dissolved, then stir in butter mixture

Beat in 4 C flour until smooth. Beat in enough remaining flour to


make a soft dough.

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
and give a hollow sound when tapped.

Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool completely

TEXAS CHILI CON CARNE (TL, AMERICAN COOKING: THE GREAT WE

6 dried anchos
8 dried hot red chiles
3 1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 lb beef kidney suet in 1/2
1 pieces
3 lb lean boneless venison or
1 beef chuck in 1/2 cubes
3 bay leaves, crumbled (i'd
1 leave them whole)
1 tablespoon cumin seed
2 tablespoon garlic, chopped
4 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon cayenne, optional
1 cooked pinto beans, on the
1 side
1 cooked rice (from 3 c raw
1 rice), on the side

Prepare the chiles by stemming them, tearing them open, and brushing
the seeds out under cold running water. Remove any large ribs unless
you want a hot chili. Chop the chiles coarsely and soak them in water
for 30 min. Drain them and set them aside, reserving the soaking
water.

Render the suet in a big heavy kettle. Remove and discard (or eat) the
crunchies. Pour off all but 1/4 c of the fat. Cook the meat in this
fat until the meat changes color. Add 2 1/2 c of the soaking water and
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.

Serve the chili with rice and beans (ON THE SIDE!).

2 lb ground venison
1 lb ground pork
3/4 lb ground pork fat
1/4 cup red wine
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chopped pitted green olives
2 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon finely ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat two tablespoons of butter in a

minutes until the vegetables are tender. Meanwhile, in a large mixing
bowl, combine the venison, pork, pork fa t, wine, bread crumbs, eggs,
Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, olives, mustard, pars ley, oregano,
cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix in the sauteed vegetables and stir we
ll. Brush the remaining two tablespoons of melted butter on the
bottom and sides of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Spoon in the loaf mixture
and level it. Cover tightly wit h aluminum foil and tap the pan
gently on the countertop to settle the mixture an d eliminate air
pockets. Place in a larger pan that is half-filled with boiling w

sides. Place in the oven and bake about 1¾ hours. Remove from the
oven, remove the aluminum f oil, and let the loaf rest for about 15
minutes.

To remove from the pan, run a dull knife between the pan and the
loaf, all arou nd the sides. Invert the pan over a plate, tilt the
plate and the pan, and run ho t water over the bottom of the pan. Tap
the bottom with the handle of the knife t o coax the loaf out onto
the platter. Pat dry and slice.

TNT TOMATO MINI MUFFINS

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour


1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary,
1 crushed
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 additional parmesan cheese,
1 optional

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In another


bowl, beat egg. Add milk, tomato sauxe and oil; mix well. Stir into
the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper lined
miniature muffin cups two thirds full. Sprinklw with Parmesan cheese
if desired. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until muffins
test done.

Yield: 3 dozen

Note: I used a paper lined regular size muffin tin. Should have just
greased the muffin tin because they stuck to the paper on the bottom.
Other than that, they turned out great. Definately sprinkle just a
bit of Parmesan on the top of each one before baking. Adds to the
wonderful color they get when baked. I think I may try adding a bit
more tomato sauce next time though.

TURTLE STEW WITH DUMPLINGS SEMINOLE

recipe

Catch a leatherback turtle. Kill it and cut it up. Place peices first in
scalding water; peel off skin and wash again. Use fleshy parts of legs and
the strips of flesh attached to the shell. Boil in salt water. Whe meat
is tender, mix together flour (wheat) and water to make a soft dough.
Pinch off small, marble dough balls, pull out thin and drop into hot turtle
liquid. Cover and let simmer about 15 minutes. Flour from the dumplings
thickens the gravy in the stew. Serve hot with Fried Bread

UTE FRY BREAD

1 text file

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,

sasktoons are mixed into the raw dough. American natives in the south
are known to chop onions and chilies into the dough.

VENISON PIZZA

1 lb ground venison
6 cup unbleached flour
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoon butter or margarine
4 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package of yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3 cup grated cheese
1 small onion, chopped
2 can pizza sauce
1 chives (optional)
1 oregano
1 garlic powder
1 pepper
1 thyme

First, measure flour into large bowl. In a separate container combine


buttermilk, butter, honey and salt. Heat the buttermilk mixture to
lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add yeast and milk mixture
to flour and combine to make a firm dough. Turn dough out and kneed
for about 6 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Put the
dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until double in bulk,
about 1 hour. While dough is rising, prepare the toppings. Grate
plenty of cheese. Chop some onions and some wild chive if you have
some handy. Fry venison, crumbling it as you fry. When dough has
risen, punch it down, divide it in half, and roll out the two parts
to fit your baking sheets. The dough should be about 1/4-inch thick.
Let the rolled out dough rise for about 15 minutes. Spread a generous
amount of pizza sauce on the dough. Sprinkle on plenty of oregano,
garlic powder, pepper and a little thyme. Top with grated cheese and
the crumbled venison. Bake at 350F for 20 to 30 minutes.

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.

1. Dissolve the sugar in the boiling water in a non-metal (plastic or


ceramic) food container and add the oak leaves, juniper berries,
fennel seeds, and celery seeds.

2. When the liquid has cooled to lukewarm, stir in the yeast and
cover the container with a non-airtight cover, cheesecloth, or towel.

3. Allow the mixture to ferment for a week at room temperature,


stirring it twice a day.

4. Strain the mixture through cheesecloth, transfer the liquid to a


jug, and seal the jug with an airlock stopper (which lets carbon
dioxide bubbles escape but keeps oxygen out).

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.

6. Siphon the wine to get rid of the sediment, if desired.

WHITE SAGE BREAD

2 1/2 cup all purpose flour


2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh white sage lea; ves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pkg active dry yeast (1/4 oz)
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 egg
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 crushed, roasted pinons or coarse s; alt (optional)

In a bowl, combine the flour, sage, salt and baking soda.

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water.

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.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

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.
********

White sage, which grows in abundance throughout most regions of the


Southwest, is an aromatic herb used in a variety of dishes. Ordinary
fresh sage can also be used.

This bread freezes well, so I suggest making several loaves at a time.

WILD MUSHROOM SPRING ROLLS

1 lb assorted mushrooms, such as


1 shiitake or oyster or
1 hanshimiji
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 large shallots, peeled and finely
1 chopped
2 tablespoon finely grated ginger
2 teaspoon five spice powder
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon asian toasted sesame oil
1 lb package egg roll wrappers
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup peanut oil for frying
1 dipping sauce:
1/4 cup warm honey
2 tablespoon soy sauce

Remove any hard fibrous stems from the mushrooms and clean carefully
by brushing the mushrooms with a damp cloth or mushroom brush to
remove excess dirt. Place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse
quickly to chop into <-inch bits. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in
a large skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the
mushrooms to the pan and saute until the mushrooms begin to sweat,
about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped shallots and ginger and saute
until translucent. Sprinkle in the five spice powder and chopped
scallions, season with salt and pepper and stir in the sesame oil.
Set aside to cool. Lay out the egg roll wrappers and cut into 4 equal
squares. Brush a square of wrapper with some water, place a dollop of
the mushroom mixture in the center and roll the sides of the wrapper
inwards to enclose the filling. Rolling away from yourself, roll up
the wrapper into a cigar shape and enclose the filling completely.
Seal the ends with some of the water. Continue to finish filling the
wrappers and refrigerate them several hours to firm them before
cooking. Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 345 degrees. Fry the
spring rolls, in batches, until crisp. In a bowl, combine the
ingredients of the dipping sauce and serve with the spring rolls.

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.

WINDOWS ON THE WORLD WILD TURKEY (LAT)

----TURKEY----
1 (12- to 14-pound) turkey
1 salt, freshly ground black pepper
2 to-3 bay leaves
1 head garlic, not peeled, split in; half
1 onion, diced
1 cup hot water plus more as needed
3 tablespoon melted salted butter
----CORN BREADBACON STUFFING----
3 cup homemade or store-bought crumbled; corn bread
1 cup cubed sourdough bread
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup chicken stock
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 lb smoked slab bacon, cut into 1/2-in; ch cubes
1 cup chopped green onions
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and; finely chopped
3 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 salt, freshly ground black pepper

From: Windows on the World restaurant, 107 stories up in the sky, on


top of the World Trade Center. Michael Lomonaco, the chef-director of
Windows on the World, sent the recipes for both the turkey and
stuffing.

Chef Lomonaco recommends cooking the stuffing separately to ensure


that the turkey is "fully cooked without overcooking, and the
stuffing is cooked in a safe manner." The recipe calls for the
farm-raised wild turkey

If you have an oven large enough to accommodate the simultaneous


cooking of a turkey and a casserole dish of stuffing, add the
stuffing to the oven about one hour after the turkey goes into the
oven and both should be ready to remove about the same time. If your
oven will accommodate only a turkey and nothing else, cook the
stuffing before you roast the bird, then reheat the stuffing 15 to 20
minutes in a 350-degree oven while the meat rests and the gravy is
made.

Roasted Wild Turkey With Corn Bread-Bacon Stuffing

TURKEY: Season turkey inside and out with salt and pepper to taste.
Place bay leaves, garlic and onion inside cavity. Set turkey, breast
side down, on rack in roasting pan. Pour water into pan and roast at
425 degrees 30 minutes.

Turn turkey breast side up, brush with melted butter, reduce heat to
350 degrees and roast until juices run clear when thigh joint is
pierced with a fork and when meat thermometer inserted in the
thickest part of thigh registers 165 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours,

adding more water to pan as needed.

Remove turkey from oven and allow to stand 20 minutes before carving.
Serve with Corn Bread-Bacon Stuffing.

CORN BREAD-BACON STUFFING: Combine corn bread, sourdough bread,


buttermilk, molasses, chicken stock and beaten eggs in bowl and soak
3 to 8 hours in refrigerator.

Place cubed bacon in heated skillet and cook until bacon is browned.
Pour off and reserve rendered fat.

Add green onions and jalapeno peppers to bacon and cook 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool.

WOODEN KNIFE INDIAN FRY BREAD

By: Wooden Knife Company

3 cups all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
oil, for frying

Cook Time: 15 minutes


Many Native Americans have a recipe for Fry Bread. This one listed is not
ours. We have perfected our own and we hold ingredients that make ours
special. One of those is tinpsula. This is a food widely used by many
Native Indian tribes, and was one of the primary foods used by the plains
Indians. Although tinpsula makes our bread different, there is much more
than that that goes into our processes of Fry Bread.
Put flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well, add warm
water and stir until dough begins to ball up. On a lightly floured surface
knead dough. Do not over-work the dough. After working dough, place in a
bowl and refrigerate for 1/2 to 1 hour.

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.

YEAST FRY BREAD

By: Cooking By Moonlight (published as 'Indian fry bread')

1 package quick-rising yeast


2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspons baking powder
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1½ cups warm water
canola or peanut oil for frying

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.

YUCATAN PORK IN TOMATILLO SAUCE

By: Mignonne

3 lb pork, cut into 1' cubes


6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 c water
12 fresh tomatillos, husks
removed
3 fresh green serrano chiles,
whole
additional water for
simmering tomatillos and
chiles
1 bn fresh cilantro, coarsely
chopped
1/4 md white onion, coarsely
chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
2 sm zucchinis (mexican
calabazitas, preferred.)
opt
serve with:
corn tortillas
crumbled white mexican
cheese (queso fresco or
similar)
white rice (optional)

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.

If using calabazitas/zucchinis, trim the ends, halve them lengthwise,


and cut into 1' long pieces. Place the pieces on top of the pork (when
only 1/2 cup of water remains with the pork.)

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.)
Page 748

Note: I recommend heating the tortillas separately on a hot


griddle/comal, and keep them wrapped in a small towel in a tortilla
warmer. This gives a much better result than microwaving them.

ZUNI PEPITA

By: Mark Miller's Coyote Cafe

1-3/4 cups lukewarm water


1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup pumpkin seed oil or corn oil
1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1-1/2 cups shelled pumpkin seeds, toasted
dry ingredients
2-1/2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup blue cornmeal (use yellow if you ca; n't find the blue)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons salt
2 egg whites, beaten
1/2 cup shelled untoasted pumpkin seeds

Without Native Americans, there would be no pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.


They were the ones who introduced the pilgrims to pumpkins and other
squash.
There are hundreds of types of squash that are indigenous to North,
Central,
and South America. Naturally, these plants and their seeds figure
prominently in the diets of native groups throughout the continent,
including the agrarian Zuni of Arizona. Native Americans commonly ground
the
pumpkin seeds (pepitas) into flour, which is what we do in this recipe.
Combined with whole-wheat flour and blue cornmeal, the ground seeds make
rich, hearty, and satisfying loaves. The bread is a wonderful partner for
fall or winter soups and stews, especially those containing pumpkin or
squash. Buy pumpkin seed oil and fresh pumpkin seeds at gourmet markets or
natural foods stores. Before buying the seeds taste one or two to make sure
they are not rancid-they should be bright green and taste sweet and fresh.
Buy only as many as you need, as their natural oils can become stale
quickly; roast any you have left over, which is the preserving technique
used by generations of Native Americans.
Combine the water, egg, and oil in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer
or in a large mixing bowl.

Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture, stir in, and let sit for 2 minutes.

Grind the toasted pumpkin seeds in a coffee grinder or spice mill until
finely ground.

Add the ground pumpkin seeds and dry ingredients to the yeast mixture.

Mix with the dough hook (or knead by hand for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the
dough appears silky and resilient.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl a cover with plastic wrap.

Let rise in a warm place for 1-1/2 hours, or until approximately doubled in
volume.
Page 751

Punch the dough down, re-cover with plastic wrap, and let rise again in a
warm place for 30 minutes.

Place a baking stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat to 400
degrees F.

[NATIVE CUISINE] FRIED BREAD

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!
