Indian Fried Bread--from 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)
Ingredients:
4 cups white flour
6 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1 large tbsp. shortening
Water to make a stiff medium dough
Preparation:
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

Title: American Indian Pudding Allegedly from Daniel Boone's Wife
Keywords: bbs, dessert, pudding
Supposedly, this is an authentic recipe from Daniel Boone's wife Rebecca.
1 qt milk
2/3 c cornmeal
3/4 c molasses
1/4 c butter [I've tried margarine, but it doesn't taste the same]
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp salt
Ice cream [I prefer vanilla]
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bring milk to a boil in the top part of a double
boiler. Stir in cornmeal and cook over hot water for 15 minutes. Stir in
molasses [I use the light variety, but I guess dark would work as well], and
cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, sugar, ginger, and
salt. Turn into an oven casserole and bake 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Serve warm with ice
cream.
Daniel and Rebecca served this warm with fresh-churned butter.

> someone wants a recipe for Indian Pudding that is thick like stuffing
> and not soft like bread pudding......
There are three recipes in my copy of Fanny Farmer. I haven't made any
of them, so I don't know how thick they'll turn out. Here's the one that
seems like it would be the thickest:
Club Indian Pudding
1 quart scalded milk
5 Tablespoons corn meal
2 Tablespoons butter
1 cup molasses
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup cold milk
Add meal gradually, while stirring constantly, to scalded milk and cook in
*double boiler 20 minutes; then add butter, molasses, seasonings, and eggs.
If preferred, use 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ginger or nutmeg.
Turn into buttered pudding dish and pour cold milk over mixture. Bake 1
hour in moderate oven (350 degrees). Delicious with vanilla ice cream.
Serves 8.

Title: AMERICAN INDIAN FEAST DAY COOKIES FROM THE PUEBLOS
Keywords: cps, authentic, unusual
From Spirit of the Harvest: North American Indian Cooking by Beverly
Cox and acclaimed food photographer Martin Jacobs.
FEAST DAY COOKIES
The Pueblo Indians give much attention to food, especially on Feast
Days, when they must feed their families, a circle of friends and even casual
visitors. Field parties for planting or harvesting, kiva parties, a Kachina
or Corn Dance, an initiation or wedding, the pueblo's Saint's Day - all
require elaborate food preparation. In the Pueblo world, the households of
men engaged in any ceremonial activity are the busiest, and at the conclusion
of the feast, leftovers are distributed and carried home.
Pueblo hospitality is identified, as everywhere, with food; under no
circumstances may one refuse food or, asking for it, be refused. To a caller
from the vicinity, watermelon, pinon, or peaches will be offered, and it is
proper to eat before announcing the reason for the visit. For visitors from
far away, whenever they arrive, a regular meal will be served. To be stingy
with food is unacceptable.
Visitors on Feast Days might be offered these special cookies, but we
doubt there are ever any leftovers to be carried home.
2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup lard or vegetable shortening
1 egg
2 cups unbleached flour, sifted
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp anise seed
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup pinon nuts (pignoli, pine nuts), chopped (These are optional)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. In a mixing bowl, cream 2/3 cup sugar and lard.
Add egg and blend thoroughly. Stir in flour, baking powder, vanilla, and
anise seed, blending thoroughly. Gradually add milk until a stiff dough is
formed. Mix in the pinon nuts. Roll dough out on a lightly floured board to
1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch cookies with cookie cutter. Sprinkle tops
with mixture of the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Bake cookies on a
well-greased baking sheet for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a
rack. Makes 2 dozen 2-inch cookies.

Title: AMERICAN INDIAN PHESANT OR GAME HEN, TEEPEE RES-WINNIPEG-RR
Keywords: cornish, chicken
This recipe is adapted from the exceptionally good,
controlled-circulation Recipes Only Magazine. The original
dish was created by Mary Richard for use in her Teepee Res-
taurant, in Winnipeg. I found some of the ingredients hard
to locate in a hurry and used what I had available with good
results. You can substitute rock Cornish hen, guinea fowl,
or chicken for the pheasant and hazelnuts, filberts or wal-
nuts for the black walnuts.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 2)
2-2 1/2 lb
hen pheasant, cleaned
1 onion, quartered
1 bay leaf
6 peppercorns
1 small carrot, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 tsp salt
4 Tbsp butter
pinch powdered thyme
1/4 tsp rosemary, dried and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp black walnut meats, finely chopped
PROCEDURE (BIRDS)
(1) Split pheasant down the breastbone (or have your
butcher do this).
(2) Rinse the halves, place in a deep pot and barely
cover with water. Add bay leaf, onion, carrot,
celery, salt and peppercorns.
(3) Bring to rolling boil, then turn down heat and
simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until
tender. Remove foam and scum as it forms. Remove
bird(s) from broth, reserving the broth.
(4) Using a heavy skillet, saut' the halves in 2 Tbsp
of the butter until golden.
(5) Place birds into small roasting pan or casserole
with just enough water to cover the bottom of the
pan. Sprinkle with thyme and rosemary.
(6) Bake, lightly covered with foil, for 30-40 minutes
at 350 deg. F.
PROCEDURE (GRAVY)
(1) While the birds are in the oven, strain the broth
and boil rapidly down to 2 cups
(2) Brown the mushrooms using the same skillet in
which you browned the pheasant. Remove the mush-
rooms and keep them warm.
(3) Melt the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter in the skil-
let. Add the flour, stirring up the browning from
the pan.
(4) Cook over moderately high heat until golden brown.
Blend in the broth using a wire whisk.
(5) Add mushrooms and continue cooking approximately
1-2 minutes. Turn down heat, cover and keep warm
until pheasant is roasted.
NOTES
When the pheasants are cooked, remove them from the oven and
scrape the herbs from the skin. After placing the pheasant
halves on a warm platter (or leaving them in the casserole),
pour the gravy over the pheasant. Garnish with the chopped
nutmeats and serve. This dish is particularly good with
wild rice.
RATING
Difficulty: easy once you have the all the ingredients
ready. Time: 40 minutes preparation, 80 minutes cooking.
Precision: measure the spices.

Keywords: arpa, dessert
Bill Silvert (silvert@biome.bio.ns.ca) and Michelle Manes (manes@bass.bu.edu)
both give high marks to the Indian Pudding at Boston's Durgin Park restaurant.
Let me offer a dissenting opinion: theirs is the worst Indian Pudding I have
ever had. I won't say it's bad, but I have had much better at another
restaurant (whose identity is a closely-held secret) and at my dinner table.
Please keep this preamble in mind when reviewing "my" recipe. (You may want
to wait until the weather's colder before running your oven for 5-7 hours
and did you know that you can bake all sorts of things in a 250F oven, e.g.
potatoes and squash?)

1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 cup of lard or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1-1/2 quarts hot milk

Title: AMERICAN INDIAN VEGETABLE CASSEROLE & ARTICLE(Sounds Good)
Keywords: arpa, lookat
The Native American 3 Sisters of Life
Native American Indians honored their three staples - corn,
beans and squash - by refering to them as the "3 Sisters of
Life". These plants not only provide a balanced set of
nutrients, they symbiotically nourish and protect each other when
they are grown together. The beans provide nitrogen for the
corn, which in turn provide poles for the beans, while the spiny
squash provide protection from the racoons and deer. As a
demonstration of the true partnership between the gardner and the
land, Native American crops included snap and dry beans, summer
and winter squash, and corn.
According to Native American tradition, corn is called the
Sacred Mother and revered as a gift from the gods. Corn, the
all-nourishing sacred food, has been used in innumerable rituals
to symbolize and honor fertility, renewal and power. The
midsummer harvest was a time of joyful celebration. Natures many
varieties of corn can be eaten fresh on the cob, roasted over hot
coals, cooked in soups or stews, or ground for meal or flour.
Beans and corn form a complimentary protein so they were
often used together in cooking. The many types of beans
(pinto, red kidney, soldier) were cooked in a variety of ways,
most commonly boiled and fried. Most of the beans that were
grown were dried and stored for future use.
Both summer and winter squash were widely cultivated. Fresh
and dried squash were boiled, baked, fried and cooked in stews.
Native American cooks seasoned squash with nut butters or maple
syrup, while colonists used butter and cinnamin or nutmeg.
Here is a colorful casserole which honors the Native
American "3 Sisters of Life". Enjoy!
3 Sisters Casserole
(serves 4-6)
1 cup dried pinto or kidney beans
A pinch of chili powder
A pinch of cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 cup of diced onion
2-3 cups of diced squash
3 cups of corn
1 cup of diced red and green peppers
A pinch of salt
Soak the beans overnight, then drain the water, rinse and
add 3 1/2 cups of fresh water and the pinches of cayenne and
chili powder. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Meanwhile,
sautee the garlic, onion, peppers, cumin and another pinch of cayenne

corn, ham hocks, salt & pepper, and onions. Reduce heat and cook for 1 hour
on a low heat. Got this one from a friend from grad school. He is a
cultural anthropologist who also happens to be a Cherokee Amerindian. His
passion is cooking and this is a recipe that he assures me is genuinely
ethnic to his people in North Carolina. The changes from the items are
his not mine. The measurements have been converted for us as well. He
claims we would like to measure out a handful of this and a small pinch
of that. Enjoy!
