(NCL) ALLENE'S SOUTHWEST CHEESECAKE

1 cup graham cracker crumbs


1/2 cup mesquite meal
6 tablespoon melted butter or margarine
2/3 cup mesquite or clover honey,
1 divided
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
24 oz cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 prickly pear glaze (recipe
1 below)
2 ripe, unblemished peaches
1 prickly pear glaze:
3/4 cup apple juice
2 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup prickly pear nectar
1/3 cup mesquite or clover honey

We thought that it would be interesting to show the versatility of


mesquite meal by including it in a contemporary version of a classic
dessert. Many thanks to Allene Pierce-Avey, wife of Native Peoples
Editor Gary Avey, for creating the the delicious recipe that follows.
Thanks also to Lina K. Austin, who lectures in the field of
ethnobotony, and to Carlos Nagel, President and founding member of
Friends PRONATURA for teaching us more about mesquite.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker


crumbs, mesquite meal, butter, 1 tablespoon honey, and cinnamon.
Using fingers, press mixture evenly on bottom and half way up sides
of 9-inch spring-form pan. Set aside.

In large mixing bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat cream cheese,
remaining honey, and vanilla until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a
time, mixing well. Stir in sour cream. Pour batter into crust; bake
50 to 60 minutes, until center sets. Turn off oven, leaving door
slightly ajar. Leave cake in oven 1 hour; remove and allow to cool.
Chill at least 2 hours; then prepare glaze and peel and slice
peaches. Arrange peaches on top of cake and spoon over glaze. Return
to refrigerator until ready to serve.

Prickly Pear Glaze

Combine 1/4 cup apple juice and cornstarch. In saucepan, combine


remaining apple juice, prickly pear juice, and honey. Stir over
medium heat until honey melts. Add cornstarch mixture and stir until
mixture boils, thickens, and turns clear. Cook one minute and set
aside to cool slightly.

(NCL) BLUE CORN MUTTON TAMALES

1 filling
1 lb mutton or lamb, cut into inch piece; s
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 medium sized onion, minced
1 teaspoon coriander, ground
1 red chili powder
1 salt
1 cup coarse white cornmeal
1 masa:
6 cup blue cornmeal
2 tablespoon baking powder
3 cup water
3 teaspoon oil
70 corn husks (soak corn husks
1 in hot water until
1 soft/pliable)

To make the filling, combine meat, garlic, onion, and coriander in a


large pot. Add water to cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until
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
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.

(NCL) CATTAIL POLLEN CAKES

1 cup sifted cattail pollen


1 cup fine white cornmeal or
1 cattail flour*
3 teaspoon finely chopped dried spice
1 bush leaves
1 tablespoon honey
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 1/2 cup water or broth
2 tablespoon sunflower seed oil

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


very hot greased griddle, ladle the batter out into 4 large cakes.
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

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

(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


other favorite syrup. From: Cuttinggal

(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

(NCL) MUTTON STEW

1 1/2 lb mutton pieces cut for stew


1 (about 6 loin chops)
1 kidney cleaned well and
1 separated (optional)
4 potatoes (approximately)
4 carrots (approximately)
6 small onions
1 mushrooms (optional)
1 small head cabbage (or
1 with wide noodles)
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 chilli pepper, seeded
1 mint leaves
1 rosemary
1 bay leaf (crushed)
5 tablespoon flour (approximate)
3 tablespoon lard, vegetable oil or
1 butter

Remember, lamb or mutton should be served either very cold or very


hot. Never lukewarm.

Mutton, or mature sheep can be used in most lamb recipe's but it does
take longer to cook to prevent toughness.

There is a paper thin sort of covering over the outside of the lamb or
mutton carcass. It isn't suppose to effect the flavor unless the meat
has been aged for some time. It depends on the cut you use. On chops
it should be removed. On the leg, if cooked whole it should be left
on. For stew I remove it first since I'm going to be cutting up the
meat. Now, if you buy the mutton it will probably be removed before
you get it, except on the leg. We usually cut the meat off the neck,
shanks and breasts into small pieces for stews.

Coat meat with flour. Brown meat in shortening. Cover with water and
bring to a boil. Add spices and simmer until tender, approximately 45
minutes. Add carrot pieces, potato pieces. Cook until tender. Add
remaining ingredients and cook until done. The cabbage and mushrooms
do not take long. If you prefer, thicken with flour for a more gravy
like consistency.

Please understand I had to approximate amounts. The recipe I have just


lists the ingredients and we're suppose to take it from there. Enjoy.
Served with bread for "sopping" and a salad it was a good hearty meal.

1 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup broken pecans
8 cup popped popcorn
1 cooking spray

The Iroquois froze maple syrup in the snow to make "snow candy."
Maple-coated popcorn was called "snow food." It is said that the
Pilgrims were amazed during their first Thanksgiving when Native
Americans dramatically popped popcorn over a blazing fire for them.

Lightly spray a large shallow pan and spread with popcorn and pecans.
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, syrup, and salt. Cook over
medium high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches 260 (the
hard-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Pour hot syrup in a thin
stream over popcorn and nuts, and toss gently to coat. When cool,
break into pieces. From: Mignonne

(NCL) TEWA TACOS (AKA- INDIAN TACOS)

1 1/2 lb ground beef


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.

ABOUT INDIAN PUDDING

1 text file

It is made of cornmeal, milk, molasses, spices like cinnamon, ginger,


cloves, allspice and of course a bit of salt. You cook 4 cups of
milk and 1 cup of cornmeal on top of the stove until thickened, add
sugar and molasses to taste and season with spices to taste and put
the mixture into a buttered heavy baking pan (I use a 2 quart
enameled cast iron casserole). You pour an additional cup of cold mil
over and bake at 350 until the milk disappears. Repeat the process
with another cup of milk and cook until thickened (all the baking is
without stirring). I don't have my recipe here at work, but that is a
close approximation.

From: madelin@north.pacific.net (Madelin Holtkamp)

close enough - the cooking temp. and time vary alot, some being quite
low for several hours, some being over 350 and hour. It is the sort
of thing you would put in a slow oven with the bean pot.

It is an american colonial recipe - the one i have seen dates from the
early 1700's. It's presumably a variant of something the native
americans made with corn - they would not have had the molasses or
Page 22

the spices, but would have had maple syrup.

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.

ACORN MUFFINS

1 x no ingredients

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,. i.e., 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.

Dry ingredients: 1 1/3 cup white flour (OK to mix 1/2 and 1/2 with corn
meal) 2/3 cup acorn flour (prepared as described above) 2 tsp. baking
powder 1/2 cup light brown sugar 3/4 tsp. salt

Wet ingredients: 2 eggs 1 cup milk 1/3 cup melted butter 1/4 cup maple
syrup

Fruit and nuts: 1 cup peeled, chopped apples 1 cup sliced raw cranberries
1/2 cup chopped hickory nuts

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.

AGUUTAQ (ESKIMO ICE CREAM)

solid vegetable shortening (crisco; works well- regular, not


butter flavored)
white fish (preferably a fish that; doesn't have a strong
taste)
white sugar
berries

My name is Teresa and I'm a 21 year old Alaska native (part


Yupik, part Russian, part Aleut, part Mexican) and this
recipe is one of my favorites. in Yupik, it is called
'aguutaq' (pronounced exactly like I've spelled it, because
I'm not sure of the spelling) and like the title states, it
is otherwise known as Eskimo ice cream. traditionally, we
use moose or caribou fat, as well as seal oil, but i prefer
the sweetened version. if you have any questions at all for
me, you can write me and I'll try to explain.
I've explained this recipe to a lot of my friends and
they've said 'yuck' when I've listed the ingredients, but
once they've tried it, they've loved it. it is difficult to
give an exact amount of ingredients, because this has been
around longer than my grandmother has. but I'll try.

1. boil the fish (bones and all) until cooked. once the fish
is cooked, drain and let cool. after everything has cooled
off, squeeze the fish (removing all bones, etc) until all
the moisture is out of it and it looks like bread crumbs.
set aside.

2. with the Crisco, measure out an amount that is a little


more than the fish that you have squeezed and place it in a
large bowl. traditionally, we fluff the Crisco with our
hands, but even for me that is too much work. :) so i use a
hand mixer, but if you have a stand mixer (kitchenaid works
well) use that to fluff up the Crisco.

3. after the Crisco is fluffed up, you add sugar to taste.


some prefer it sweet, like me, but my sister prefers it less
sweet. when you add the sugar, you need to mix it in until
all the sugar is dissolved, and it isn't grainy. (the best
way to test this is to taste it and roll it along your
tongue) this will take a while. remember, you will be adding
berries at the end, so keep that in mind when you are adding
the sugar.

4. after the sugar is mixed in, you add the fish. now, many
people, go 'yuck!' but i assure you that it is more for the
body of the ice cream, rather than the taste, because once
you add it in, the 'cream' becomes richer. and since you've
already squeezed out the juices, there isn't much fish taste
to it. you need to sprinkle the fish crumbs in a little at a
time so that it is all evenly mixed in and that there are no
big clumps. you also have to watch out for small fish bones,
Page 27

because the white fish usually has finer bones than others
like king salmon.

5. now once you are all done with that, you fold in your
berries. traditionally, we pick blueberries, salmon berries,
cranberries, and blackberries out on the tundra and use
those. my grandmother has used frozen pre-packaged berries
and they work fine too. but you have to remember to use
partially frozen berries. because if you use fresh, not
frozen berries they will just get squashed when you fold
them into the 'cream' and then you don't get to eat berries
as well as the cream. but you also have to remember that
this needs to be done by hand and you can add as little or
as much as you want. we also add raisins, which add a nice
little kick. you might want to try the new craisins as well.

6. now this is the hardest part- freezing it. you need to


let it freeze and also to combine the flavors together. so
put it in the freezer, and don't stick your fingers in
there. :) enjoy!

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.

APPLE-CRANBERRY PIE/CORN MEAL CRUST

This is a recipe that I have made several times in my old age. ;)


Something
I didn't normally do before. This one is so easy though. The crust tastes
just great to me and if you don't have cranberries then use all apples.
Something a lot of folks may not realize is that the Cherokee are one of
the
largest growers of apples. Mom and I used to drive over to NC when I was a
kid just to buy the real good apples instead of those yucky kind they had
in
the grocery.. Vendors would be set up all along the river from Bryson City
and on into Cherokee. We made a day adventure of it stopping every little
bit to sample and buy. There are so many wonderful tasting apples that they
grow that are never seen in the grocery stores. Then we would head home
with
our treasures and I knew that my mom would soon be making some of the best
applesauce in the world.

One other suggestion. Bean bread. Goes good with anything; hot or cold.

APPLE-CRANBERRY PIE WITH CORNMEAL CRUST

Thanks to the native Wampanoags, the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock
in
1620 were quickly introduced to such important New World foods as
cranberries and corn. The newcomers returned the favor by planting apples,
which flourished and were soon available in many American varieties. This
wonderful holiday pie, with its cornmeal crust and mixed-fruit filling,
celebrates that early culinary sharing. It's a delicious combination of
some
of our most traditional American flavors.

Crust
2 C. all purpose flour
3/4 C. yellow cornmeal
5 T. sugar
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 C. plus 2 T. solid vegetable shortening, room temperature
6 T. (about) buttermilk

Filling
1 C. fresh cranberries
1 C. plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
3 lbs. Pippin apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2" thick slices
1/2 C. dried currants
5 T. all purpose flour

For crust:
Mix first 5 ingredients in processor. Add shortening and cut in until
Page 34

mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in enough buttermilk by tablespoons to


form dough that begins to clump together. Gather dough into ball; divide in
half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap each disk in plastic and chill 45
minutes. (Can be make 1 day ahead.)

For filling:
Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Coarsely chop
cranberries with sugar and pumpkin pie spice in processor. Transfer mixture
to large bowl. Add apples, currants and flour and toss well.

Roll out 1 dough disk between sheets of waxed paper to 13" round. Peel off
top sheet of paper; invert dough into 9 1/2" diameter deep-dish glass pie
dish. Peel off paper. Fold under overhanging dough to form double-thick
edge. Crimp edge. Roll out remaining dough disk on lightly floured surface
to 1/8" thick round. Using 3" long leaf cookie cutter, cut out leaves.
Using
knife, mark veins in leaves. Slightly mound filling in pie dish.
Arrangeleaves around edge of pie and all over top, overlapping
decoratively.
Brush pastry all over with buttermilk.

Place pie on baking sheet. Bake 45 minutes. Cover pie with foil and
continue
baking until juices bubble thickly and crust browns, about 35 minutes more.
Transfer pie to rack and cool 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature
with
ice cream.

Notes: The recipe calls for Pippin apples, but any good cooking apple will
do. I ended up using more than 6 T. buttermilk in the crust. This is
something you will just kind of have to use your own judgement with. My
crust came out fine and I am definately not well experienced in that
department. I didn't have any pumpkin pie spice so I had to make my own.
You
can do this by using:
1 to 1 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 to 1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. gound nutmeg
1/4 to 1/2 tps. ground cloves
Store what is left over for later use. Since I don't have a deep glass pie
dish, I used one of my round cake pans (It's great for pot pie recipes too)
and I don't have a leaf cookie cutter either so I just used my paring knife
to cut out leaf shapes. Then instead of buttermilk to brush the crust with
I
used one eggwhite mixed with a tsp. of water. And finally, although ice
cream probably would be good with this pie is wonderful tasting by itself.
No extras needed.

ARCTIC MUSK OX WITH RED ONION CONFIT AND SHIITAKE MUSHROO

1 musk ox tenderloin
4 five-ounce musk ox
1 tenderloins, center cut
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon juniper berries, crushed
1 mushrooms:
1 quart veal demi-glace (brown
1 stock)
1/4 cup red currant jelly
1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoon butter
1 red onion confit:
2 cup red onions
1/2 oz butter
1/2 cup port wine
1 vegetables:
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1/4 inch thick
4 asparagus spears, each cut
1 into six pieces
1 tablespoon butter
4 thyme sprigs (optional)

Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper and juniper berries. Sear
tenderloins on all sides in a hot pan. Place in 375 oven until medium
rare (120 internal temperature). Remove from oven and let meat rest
for five n~inutes.

Mushrooms

Reduce the demi-glace (brown sauce) and red currant jelly in a sauce
pan until it heavily coats the back of a wooden spoon. Saut‚ the
shiitake mushrooms in butter and add to the sauce. Set aside.

Red Onion Confit

Saute the onions in butter until transparent. Add port wine and reduce
until the pan is dry, stirring onions occasionally.

Vegetables

Steam the vegetables until tender.

To serve: Place red onion confit in center of plate. Ladle the sauce
around the confit. Slice the steaks in half and place them atop the
confit. Distribute the steamed vegetables around outside lip of the
plate, and add a sprig of thyme atop the meat.

For Simplicity's Sake:

Musk ox is an excellent, top-ranking game meat, yet it's still hard to


Page 37

come by. Juniper berries are a delightful addition to almost any game
meat. To crush the berries, simply place them between two sheets of
wax paper and roll them with a rolling pin. See "Basic Recipes" for a
demi-glace recipe. For the red onion confit, julienne thin slices of
red onion and saut‚ until thoroughly cooked.

AUTUMN FRUIT PUDDING CAKE

By: www.BakingCircle.com

.....cake.....
2 cups pears (16 ounces) ab 3 medium pears; peeled,cored, sliced
or apples (11-1/2 oz) ab 3 mdm or 2; large, peeled, cored, sl
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup (2 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup (3-1/2 ounces) sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ginger; for the pears
.....or.....
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; for the apples
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup (4-1/4 oz) all purpose flour
1/2 cup (4 ounces) milk
....topping.....
3/4 cup (5-1/4 oz) sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) hot water (hot from the tap --; not boiling)

To make the cake: Lightly grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan.
Place the fruit in the pan, and sprinkle it with the lemon juice.

In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, baking powder,


spice, and salt till smooth. Beat in the egg, then add the flour
alternately with the milk (1/2 cup flour, the milk, remaining 1/2 cup
flour), beating after each addition. Spoon the batter over the fruit in the
pan, spreading it to mostly cover.

To make the topping: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and spice.
Sprinkle this mixture over the batter, then carefully pour the hot water
over all. It will puddle on top; that's OK.

Bake the cake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 60 minutes, until it’s
nicely browned on the top. Remove it from the oven, and serve warm with
vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
NOTES From King Arthur:
Ginger and pears, cinnamon and apples-these fall fruits seem to have very
specific spices they pair comfortably with. The following recipe comes from
my friend Nonni in Old Town, Maine, who got it out of a booklet of recipes
that came with the flat of Maine blueberries she'd purchased. It started
out as a blueberry cake (natch), but as it worked its way south, and
blueberries fell out of season, it became an apple or pear cake. Any way
you slice it, this super-moist cake, atop creamy textured fruit in its own
sauce, is delightful.

For an extra-special presentation, bake this cake in a deep (1 1/2-inch)


stoneware pie pan. When you're going to serve right out of the pan, it's
always a plus to use something presentable!

Heat the milk with the chocolate, cinnamon and


vanilla essence in a
double boiler. Once the chocolate is melted transfer
to a saucepan,
bring to the boil, then simmer, beating briskly with
a balloon whisk
or hand beater, for 2-3 minutes -simmering the milk
give a thicker
mixture than merely warming it.

Remove from the heat and carry on whisking till you


have a good layer
of foam.

The chocolate can be drunk hot or cold but each mug


should have a
generous layer of bubbles. If you wish to add egg, do
so after you

'Chocolate, rather than cocoa bean from which the chocolate was made, not
gold or silver, served the Aztec empire as money- to the infuriated
disbelief of the Spanish invaders who found only rooms filled with cocoa
beans where they expected to find chests of gold. 'Because it was so
valuable only emperors and the highest ranks in the land were allowed to
drink this 'money'; when they did it was made with water, vanilla and honey
since there was no milk. 'Modern Mexican chocolate always uses milk and
sometimes eggs as well to turn it into a real 'meal in one'.

BAKED PERSIMMON INDIAN PUDDING

1 cup soft-ripe hachiya or fuyu persimmon; pulp (see notes)


2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
2 cup butter or margarine, at room temper; ature
1/4 cup dark molasses
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
persimmon-eggnog sauce
(recipe follows)

PREP AND COOK TIME: About 21/4 hours, plus at least 1 hour to chill
NOTES: Scoop soft-ripe Hachiya persimmon pulp from skin with a spoon and
discard any seeds, or peel Fuyu persimmons, chop, and whirl in a blender to
a smooth purée. If making pudding and sauce up to 1 day ahead, cool, cover
pudding and sauce separately airtight, and chill.
Marked by their pointed tips, hachiyas are picked after they've turned
bright orange but while they're still firm. Before being eaten they must be
allowed to ripen further to lose their puckery astringency and become as
soft and sweet as jelly.
Sadoian also tends a handful of Fuyu persimmon trees, the other main market
variety. Flat-bottomed Fuyus can be eaten while they're as crisp as apples
or after they've softened a bit. Both varieties ripen slowly at room
temperature, which makes them perfect for piling in a huge bowl on your
kitchen table-a bright reflection of the season.
1. In a blender or food processor, whirl persimmon pulp and baking soda
until smooth.
2. In a bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat sugar, 2 cup butter, and
molasses until blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. In
another bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Stir
dry ingredients and persimmon purée into sugar-butter mixture. Add raisins
and walnuts and mix until blended.
3. Pour batter into a buttered and floured 7- to 8-cup loaf pan or ring
mold (no deeper than 3 in.); cover tightly with foil. Put pan in a larger
pan and place in a 300' oven. Add 3/4 inch boiling water to outer pan
around loaf pan or '/2 inch boiling water around ring mold.
4. Bake until pudding is firm in center when lightly pressed (lift foil to
check), about 2 hours (about 1'/4 hours in a convection oven). Carefully
lift pan from water and let stand 10 minutes, then uncover. Run a knife
between pudding and sides of pan to release. Invert onto a plate. Cut warm
or cool pudding into slices, transfer to plates, and top with spoonfuls of
persimmon-eggnog sauce.

BERRIES & WILD RICE

1 x no ingredients

Ingredients

1 cup wild rice


1 cup fresh cranberries1
3 cups water
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries2
1/2 cup maple syrup3
cinnamon to taste (approx. 1/2 teaspoon)

Directions

Cook rice and cranberries in water until rice is done. Take rice off heat
and let sit for about 5 minutes (until all the water is soaked up by the
rice). Mix in the remaining berries, maple syrup, and cinnamon.

Can be eaten warm or cold.


1. If fresh cranberries are not available, substitute 1/2 cup dried
cranberries.
Page 49

2. If fresh raspberries are not available, substitute whole frozen


raspberries. Avoid raspberries frozen in any kind of syrup.
3. You must use real maple syrup - not syrup that has been "flavored."
Real maple syrup is a common addition to Native American recipes.

BERRY FRIED PIES

4 to 8 cups fresh berries


2 to 3 cups water
1/4 tsp. salt
4 tbsp cornstarch mixed well with cold wat; er
2 1/2 cup sugar
1 recipe stiff biscuit dough
oil for frying

I got this recipe from a book written by an Oklahoma Choctaw


women named Imogene Dawson. It uses either blueberries or
blackberries (I've used other berries and berry combos as well).
Pick over berries and combine with water and bring to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Mash well and strain
out seeds.

Return the berry juice to the stove and add the salt and sugar,
bring to boil and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Let thicken.
Remove from heat and let get completely cold (this is best done
the day ahead).

Make a stiff biscuit doug, pinch off golf ball sized pieces of dough
and roll out to rectangle shape. Place some of the cool filling in
the center of the douch. Fold over all four sides, sealing with
some water along the edges. Fry in the hot oil until golden.

I find it best to make them and fry them as I go. I use deep oil
and fry them one by one in a Asian wire frying utensil, so as not
to break the dough. Drain them well and serve warm or at room
temperature (not hot, unless you want to trip to the emergency
room...). They are really good sprinkled with powdered sugar.

BLACK WALNUT-CRANBERRY PUDDING

By: Tocqueville, New York

recipe

with stout sabayon and cranberry sorbet


Pastry chef Ryan Butler prepares a bread pudding with black walnuts and
cranberries. Then he makes a sabayon, substituting stout beer for wine. He
folds in a mixture of whipped cream and crème fraîche, strains the sabayon
and cools it.

For the sorbet he combines equal amounts of fresh and dried cranberries
then prepares it using simple syrup and lemon juice.

He purées cranberries with orange liqueur, a little canola oil and inverted
sugars, which he cooks until the purée is fairly dry. He makes walnut
Page 54

toffee and breaks it into shards.

He plates the pudding, drizzles it with the sabayon, and accompanies it


with a quenelle of the sorbet, walnut toffee and cranberry purée.

BLACKBERRY BLUE CORN TAMALE

1 x no ingredients

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.

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 tablespoons softened butter
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
8 big dry husks, or 10" aliminum foil squares

Filling:
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or black walnuts
2 tablespoons maple candy rolled into crumbs OR
2 tablespoons almond paste
Topping:
3/4 cup sour cream, do not use yoghurt
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
2 cups fresh blackberries "destemmed" and washed
2 TBS sugar

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
Page 55

(1/4 cup each) and the cream, saving a few berries to garnish each dish.

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.

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 PUDDING

4 cup chicken or fish broth


2 tablespoon butter
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 can corn niblets or lye corn
1 egg
1 milk

Bring the chicken or fish broth to boil with the butter. Stir
together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

Stir together the undrained corn niblets or lye corn, egg and milk.
Add all at once to the flour mixture. Mix well. Pour by spoonfuls
into the boiling broth. Lower the heat. Cover and simmer 15 to 18
minutes. Uncover and serve the thick pudding to replace potatoes.

NOTES : A fish head stock is equally as good as a chicken broth. A


surprising recipe I learned from a Manitoba Indian. We eat it as a
lunch with green salad or coleslaw or as a vegetable with roast pork
or goose. Lei's Note: I believe lye corn is called hominy in USA.

BRAISED VENISON WITH A BITTER CHOCOLATE SAUCE

4 9oz pieces of venison


1 shoulder
2 fl oz oz sunflower oil
1 salt and freshly ground
1 black pepper
1 for the marinade:
1 bottle 750ml red wine
8 juniper berries, crushed
12 black peppercorns, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 sprig of fresh thyme
1 strip of orange peel
1 medium carrot, diced
1 large onion, peeled and roughly
1 chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 celery stick, chopped
1 for the sauce:
1 tablespoon tomato puree
14 fl oz oz water
1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
1 1/2 oz bitter chocolate, grated
1 for the garnish (optional):
24 chestnuts, prepared and
1 cooked

Put the red wine in a pan and boil to reduce by one-third. Allow to
cool down to room temperature. Place the venison in a large container
and cover with the reduced wine and all the remaining marinade
ingredients. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 110C/225F/Gas1/2 . Drain the venison and the


vegetables and pat them dry. Reserve the wine. In a non-stick pan,
heat the sunflower oil until smoking and sear and colour both pieces
of venison on all sides to a good deep brown. This operation will take
about 10 minutes. Transfer the venison pieces to a cast-iron
casserole.

In the oil remaining in the non-stick pan, colour the vegetables and
seasonings lightly, about 5 minutes, then transfer them to the
casserole with the venison. Add the tomatopuree to the non-stick pan
and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the reserved red wine from the
marinade, and bring to the boil. Pour over the venison, vegetables
and seasonings in the casserole, and barely cover with the water.
Season lightly with salt. Bring to the boil for 1 minute, skim, then
cover with a tight lid. Braise in the preheated oven for 31/2 hours.

Strain the juices into a large saucepan and reduce on full heat to
about 300ml/10fl oz. Reduce the heat until the sauce barely simmers,
then add the redcurrant jelly. Correct the seasoning and finally,
whisk in the grated chocolate. Mix the venison and vegetables back
into the sauce, and re-heat gently. Add the chestnuts if using. You
Page 69

may serve the venison from the casserole or transfer it to a nice


serving dish. Serve to your guests.

BRICKED CHICKEN WITH WILD CHANTERELLE AND ASPARAGUS

2 whole chickens, about 3


1 lb each
2 masonry bricks, 2 or 3
1 lb each, wrapped in aluminum
1 foil
1 unpeeled orange, sliced into
1 eight crescents
2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 fine
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup olive oil
1 sauce:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup dry sherry or vermouth
4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 bunch fresh asparagus spears,
1 sliced diagonally, about
2 inches long
1 1/2 lb fresh chanterelle mushrooms,
1 cleaned with a damp cloth
1 and chopped into
1/2 inch pieces

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using kitchen scissors, remove the first
and second joints from the wings of the two chickens and set aside.
Stand the chicken upright, and using the scissors, cut down the
length of the backbone on either side. Now lay the chicken flat and
cut down the center of the breastbone. Now you should have two
chicken halves. Repeat with the other chicken.

Mix the chopped sage, orange zest, cumin, cayenne and olive oil
together to make the marinade. Coat all sides of all the chicken
pieces with the marinade. Stack them, placing a crescent of fresh
orange between each piece. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least
three or four hours, or overnight.

In the meantime, roast the chicken backs and wing joints in a 325 F
oven until they are golden brown. Depending on how high the sides of
your roasting pan are, this may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an
hour. The lower the sides of your pan, the faster your chicken will
brown.

While the chicken is roasting, place the orange juice in a heavy


saucepan over medium heat to simmer. Let it reduce in volume until it
is syrupy. Add the sherry or vermouth, stirring constantly, and
continue cooking for about five minutes. Add the chicken stock and
bring to a boil. Add the roasted chicken backs and wings, lower to a
simmer, and cook for one hour. Strain and reserve the sauce.
Page 72

Place two twelve inch skillets on the stove at high heat. Add 1
tablespoon of olive oil to each skillet, then place two chicken
halves in each pan, skin side down. Cover each pair of chicken halves
with one brick, then place in the oven. Roast for about 20 minutes,
remove the bricks, and turn the chickens. Replace the bricks and
roast for about 20 minutes more. Remove from the pan. pide the
chanterelles into two halves, placing half of them in each of the two
hot pans which were just used for the chickens. Saute the mushrooms
for a few minutes, until they begin to soften, then add the sauce.
When the sauce boils, add the asparagus tips, cook for two minutes,
and add salt if necessary.

Using a slotted spoon, place the mushrooms and asparagus onto four
inpidual plates. Place one half-chicken on each plate, then spoon the
sauce equally over each. Serve immediately.

Bush Spice
Or Benjamin bush, wild allspice bush or fever bush. They grow as
tall
as 10 feet and the leaves turn a bright gold color in the fall. The
flowers are yellow and the leaves and twigs smell very good. The
bright red
berries are dried in the sun and then pounded to a powder and used
the
same way as conventional allspice
Coltsfoot Salt
Coltsfoot, a plant often found along streams and in swamps. The
flowers
are in bloom before the leaves appear. The undersides of the leaves
are
covered with a dense fuzz. Form the green leaves into balls and lay
them out on a flat stone to dry. Once dry burn then to ashes. The
ashes
are very salty and make a good substitue for salt. Once you have
used
Coltsfoot salt it is hard to go back to the use of ordinary salt.

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 IN GREEN SAUCE (POLLO EN MOLE VERDE)

2 - 3 lbs. chicken pieces**


2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
8 poblano chilies
1 cup pumpkin seeds* or pine nuts (pignol; i)
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup almonds
1 large onion, chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups coarsely chopped tomatillos
1 bunch cilantro (coriander leaves)
salt and freshly ground pepper to t; aste
2 T. vegetable oil

This green version is just one example of the many 'moles' of Mexican
cuisine. A mole (from the Nahuatl word 'molli' for sauce) doesn't
necessarily include chocolate as some would have us believe, but some sort
of chili pepper is always among the ingredients.

* Also called 'pepitas,' pumpkin seeds are available in many supermarkets


and Hispanic specialty shops.
**Turkey, Quail, Pheasant, etc. could be used.

Combine the chicken pieces and stock in a pot and bring to a boil over high
heat. Reduce the heat and simmer covered for 45 minutes. Drain the chicken
and keep it warm, reserving the stock. Using a fork, hold the poblano
chiles
over a gas flame or electric burner until the skin is blistered and
blackened in places. Place in a paper bag and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
Peel the peppers, slit them lengthwise, and remove the seeds and veins.
Working in small batches, pulverize the pumpkin seeds in an electric
blender
or food processor. Combine the poblano chiles, ground pumpkin seeds,
walnuts, almonds, onion, garlic, tomatillos, coriander, salt, and pepper in
a bowl and mix to combine.

Working in batches, puree the mixture in an electric blender or food


processor, adding enough of the reserved chicken stock to make a thick
paste. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat and add the sauce.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Thin to the consistency of
heavy cream with the chicken stock if necessary. Reduce the heat to very
low, transfer the chicken to the skillet, and simmer covered until the
chicken is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Yield: serves 4 to 6.

CHICKEN-FRIED RABBIT WITH CREAM GRAVY

2 cottontail rabbits; cut


1 into
1 serving pieces
4 tablespoon flour
1 salt & freshly ground
1 pepper
5 tablespoon lard; for starters
2 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Shake the rabbit in a paper bag with the flour, salt, and pepper.
Pick a heavy skillet (which some lid will fit) that, crowded, will
just hold the rabbit pieces. Melt the lard in it until hot, then turn
heat to medium, crowd in the rabbit pieces, and for the next 10 to 20
minutes stand over the skillet, turning and adjusting the pieces
until all sides are golden brown.

As you brown the pieces, their floured surfaces may absorb enough fat
to require more lard; add as needed.

Now, turn heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 12 minutes
or so. Turn the pieces, if need be, during this process.

Turn heat to medium or medium high, remove lid, and turning the
pieces when needed, evaporate the moisture for another 10 minutes or
so.

Remove rabbit to a hot platter, pour off all but 3 tablespoon or so


of fat, stir the flour into the fat and "greables" (or dredgings) and
cook over low heat for 2 minutes or so.

Off heat, stir in the milk, then back on low heat cook until it
starts to thicken. Stir in the cream and continue to heat but do not
boil.

For a variation, stir in with the cream 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard


and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan.

CONIGLIO ALLA SALVIA (RABBIT WITH SAGE)

4 slice bacon
3 garlic cloves, peeled
6 sage leaves, fresh or 1 tablespoon; dried
2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 lb rabbit, dressed, in 8 pieces
1 salt
1 pepper to taste
1 flour for dredging
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup dry white wine

Chop the bacon, garlic and sage very fine, to paste consistancy. (If
using a blender or processor, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the stock.)
Heat the vegetable oil in a large casserole, meanwhile seasoning the
rabbit parts with salt and pepper and dredging them lightly in flour,
shaking off the excess. Add the rabbit to the casserole and cook over
high heat, turning it until browned, about 3 minutes on per side.

Discard the oil from the casserole. Add the bacon mixture, and return
to the heat, cooking 3 minutes and stirring occasionally. Add the
Balsamic vinegar and white wine, and simmer 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of
the stock, salt and pepper to taste, and cover the casserole. Simmer

and adding the remaining stock gradually, as needed, to keep the meat
moist. Transfer the rabbit pieces to a large serving dish and strain
the sauce, which should be thick, over them. If the sauce is thin,
quickly reduce it over high heat.

CONIGLIO O POLLO CON LA PEPERONATA

2 lb rabbit or chicken; cut


1 into 8 pieces
2 tablespoon wine vinegar
1 to cook the rabbit/chicken:
2 oz pancetta (or bacon)
1 unsmoked
1 heaping tbs
4 tablespoon sweet (unsalted) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large bay leaves
1 salt; to taste
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 to taste
1 cup chicken broth, defatted
1 (preferably homemde)
1 to cook the peppers:
4 tablespoon sweet (unsalted) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 whole anchovies in salt, or
6 filets; packed in oil
3 red or yellow bell peppers*
1 cleaned and seeded
2 large cloves garlic, peeled; and
1 finely chopped
10 sprigs italian parsley,
1 leaves only
4 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 salt; to taste
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 to taste
1 to serve:
1 italian parsley leaves
1 rosemary leaves

Place the rabbit in a bowl of cold water with the vinegar and soak it
for half an hour. (If using chicken instead, omit this step). Cut
pancetta or prosciutto into very small pieces and finely chop the
rosemary and combine them, or even better, coarsely grind pancetta
and rosemary together.

Place a casserole with the butter and oil over medium heat and when
the oil is warm, add the pancetta/rosemary mixture and the bay leaves
to saute for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, quickly drain the rabbit
pieces, pat them dry with paper towels, and add them to the
casserole. Let them saute all over until very lightly golden.
Season with salt and pepper. Add the broth, a small quantity at a
time, turning the rabbit over several times, and cook until soft,
about 25 minutes for a 2 pound rabbit.

As the rabbit cooks, prepare the peppers - Warm the butter with the
oil in a saucepan over low heat, then add the anchovies and mash
them with a fork. Be sure the heat remains constantly low, so the
Page 110

anchovies do not crumble and become very fishy. Put in the peppers
and saute for 5 minutes. Raise heat, add 1/2 cup of cold water,
and cook the peppers for 5 minutes more; at that point, the peppers
should be half-cooked. Add the garlic, parsley and vinegar and let
the vinegar evaporate for 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper.
Transfer contents of saucepan to the casserole containing the not
yet completely cooked rabbit and mix well. Cook until the rabbit is
done. The peppers will be overcooked and form a chunky sauce. Discard
bay leaves and transfer everything to a serving platter.

Serve with parsley leaves sprinkled over each portion.

CRANBERRY FRITTERS FROM LOREN MARTIN

1 cup fresh cranberries, washed &


1 drained well
3 cup flour
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk, plus 2 tb
3 cup shortening or oil for deep-
1 frying

Place the cranberries on paper toweling and dry well. Sift together
the dry ingredients and mix in the milk, a little at a time, to make
a stiff dough. Flour your hands well, pinch off a small piece of
dough (about 1 teaspoon), place a cranberry in the center, and roll
into a ball with the cranberry inside. The balls should be about the
size of large marbles. Place the shortening or oil in a deep, heavy
kettle, and heat till it registers 375F on a deep-fat-frying
thermometer. Drop the fritters into the hot fat and fry, turning,
until deep golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper toweling. This
really works best as a two-person operation, with one shaping the
fritters and the other frying them.

CREME BRULEE FLAVOURED WITH JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE AND WHITE

1 creme brulee
1 (needs 24 hours)
500 gm jerusalem artichokes
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoon caster (superfine) sugar
2 vanilla beans, split and
1 scraped
100 ml milk
8 egg yolks
120 gm caster (superfine) sugar
250 ml thickened cream
250 ml pure cream
1 few drops white truffle oil
1 to taste
1/2 cup demarara sugar
1 garnish
1 jerusalem artichoke
1 teaspoon pure icing (confectioners')
1 sugar

This dessert is pretty wild. It says a lot about what you can - or
should I say cannot - do with food, and has created a tremendous
amount of interest.

I like the earthy and nutty flavour of Jerusalem artichokes, and when
they are cooked and caramelised they take on another dimension
altogether. The aromatic truffle oil and spicy sweet vanilla ensure it
is a triumph in my repertoire.

Method:

Creme Brulee

Peel and roughly slice the artichokes. In a medium-sized, heavy-based,


non-reactive frying pan, melt the butter until it starts to bubble.
Add the artichokes to the pan and toss them over the heat until
lightly browned. Add the sugar and vanilla bean and cook for around
10 minutes until the mixture

turns a deep golden caramel. Don't hurry this part of the dish - it is
important to get as much colour and caramel flavour as possible from
the artichokes. Add the milk, bring to a gentle simmer and cook the
artichokes for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave the mixture
to infuse for half an hour before straining through a piece of muslin.

In a large bowl mix together the egg yolks and caster sugar until the
sugar dissolves. Put the thickened cream and pure cream in a saucepan
with the infused milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Pour onto the eggs
and sugar and whisk well. Stir in the truffle oil to taste (about 1/2
teaspoon).

Preheat the oven to 150B0C (300B0F). Place 6 small soufflE9 dishes or


Page 124

ramekins in a deep baking tray lined with a tea towel - this stops the
dishes moving around while cooking. Fill each soufflE9 dish up to the
brim with the brulee mix. Pour hot water into the baking tray to come
between halfway and two-thirds of the way up the sides of the soufflE9
dishes. Cover the tray loosely with a sheet of foil and place in the
oven to bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the brulE9es are just set.
Allow them to cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Garnish

Preheat the oven to 60 C. Peel the artichoke and use a mandolin or


very sharp knife to slice it into fine wafers. Lay the wafers on a
baking sheet lined with non-stick paper and place in the oven
overnight (or for around 6 hours) to dry. Once the artichoke wafers
are crisp, remove them from the oven to cool, then store in an
air-tight container.

Serving Suggestion: Preheat your griller to its highest temperature.


Remove the creme brulees from the fridge and sprinkle each one evenly
with demarara sugar. Place them under the grill for a few moments
until the sugar caramelises, then leave them to cool and the sugar to
set hard. If you have a domestic blowtorch, this is even more
effective. From: Linda Roberts <lrobe684@bellsouthdate: Sun, 16 Nov

Good eating !!! As always you can add other veggies to the mix, but I
love the way this cooks up without the veggies in the way. The smell
will drive you crazy the whole time it's cooking. (insert drool here)

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!

DEVILLED BARBECUED QUAIL

----SOURCE: AUSTRALIAN VOGUE WIN---


8 dressed quail split in half
----MARINADE----
1/2 cup light soy sauce
2 tablespoon honey
3 or 4 spring onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 medium sized piece root ginger, peeled and; chopped
1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil
1/2 cup craigmoor rummy port

To make the marinade: mix the soy sauce and honey together and add
spring onions, garlic and ginger. Combine all other ingredients and
mix together well. Use marinade with all types of white meat. If you
are cooking whole pieces of meat, the skin should be pierced before
covering the meat with the marinade. To be effective, marinate meats
for at least 3 to 4 hours. Dry meats with a paper towel when taken
from the marinade. Put on an oiled and heated barbecue to cook and
baste with the marinade during cooking. To cook the quail: place in a
shallow casserole and cover with the marinade. Cover and leave for at
least 4 hours. Strain liquids from the quail and set aside. Barbecue
quail, turning them fre- quently and basting them often. The quail
will be very tender and well browned when barbecued in this way.

ELDERBLOW CUSTARD

2 whole clusters of elderblow


2 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon semolina or
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
2 eggs; beaten
1 egg white
2 tablespoon sugar
----GARNISH----
1 elderberry jelly or
1 sprinkle of cinnamon

Strip the flowers off the stems of two clusters of elderblow. Put the
flowers in a pan with the milk and heat to scalding; hold just below
boiling point for several minutes to extract the flavor from the
elderblow. Strain milk and discard flowers.

Mix the sugar, salt and semolina (or tapioca) together. Whisk in
beaten eggs and gradually add hot milk. Return to low heat, or cook
over hot water, stirring constantly, until the custard coats a metal
spoon. Remove from heat instantly and set the pan in another pan
containing cold water to stop the cooking. Cool slightly, then pour
into 4 dessert dishes. Chill in the refrigerator.

At serving time, make a meringue of the egg white beaten stiff with
the sugar. Float a spoonful of meringue in the center of each
dessert dish and garnish with a bit of elderberry jelly or a sprinkle
of cinnamon. This dessert has a pleasant, subtle flowery flavor.

EMBER ROASTED BUFFALO

8 to 12 pieces of hardwood kindling


6 slender green onions
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoon crumbled sage
salt and pepper to taste

In a cooking pit or a barbecue grill, prepare a hardwood fire. Using a


knife-sharpening steel or long narrow-bladed knife, make six holes, about
one inch apart, horizontally through the roast. Push a green onion into
each hole. Rub roast with oil and seasonings. When flames have died down
and coals are red-hot, spread them out into a bed two to three inches wider
than the roast. Place roast directly on hot embers and cook for about ten
minutes per pound for very rare, or fifteen minutes per pound for
medium-rare. Turn roast with tongs every three to four minutes to char it
on all sides. For a less-charred exterior, place roast on a grill above the
embers.

20 gm garlic, chopped.
1 teaspoon peppercorns, black, cracked
350 ml wine, red
500 ml stock, veal
500 ml stock, chicken
5 gm chocolate, dark, good-quality.
10 gm butter
1 salt

ESKIMO ICE CREAM (A.K.A. AGUUTAQ)

solid vegetable shortening as; crisco


white fish preferably that doesn't; have strong taste
white sugar
berries

My name is Teresa and I'm a 21 year old Alaska native (part Yupik, part
Russian, part Aleut, part Mexican) and this recipe is one of my favorites.
in Yupik, it is called 'aguutaq' (pronounced exactly like I've spelled it,
because I'm not sure of the spelling) and like the title states, it is
otherwise known as Eskimo ice cream. traditionally, we use moose or caribou
fat, as well as seal oil, but i prefer the sweetened version. if you have
any questions at all for me, you can write me and I'll try to explain. I've
explained this recipe to a lot of my friends and they've said 'yuck' when
I've listed the ingredients, but once they've tried it, they've loved it.
it is difficult to give an exact amount of ingredients, because this has
been around longer than my grandmother has. but I'll try.

1. boil the fish (bones and all) until cooked. once the fish is cooked,
drain and let cool. after everything has cooled off, squeeze the fish
(removing all bones, etc) until all the moisture is out of it and it looks
like bread crumbs. set aside.

2. with the Crisco, measure out an amount that is a little more than the
fish that you have squeezed and place it in a large bowl. traditionally, we
fluff the Crisco with our hands, but even for me that is too much work. :)
so i use a hand mixer, but if you have a stand mixer (kitchenaid works
well) use that to fluff up the Crisco. Note due not use butter flavored
crisco.

3. after the Crisco is fluffed up, you add sugar to taste. some prefer it
sweet, like me, but my sister prefers it less sweet. when you add the
sugar, you need to mix it in until all the sugar is dissolved, and it isn't
grainy. (the best way to test this is to taste it and roll it along your
tongue) this will take a while. remember, you will be adding berries at the
end, so keep that in mind when you are adding the sugar.

4. after the sugar is mixed in, you add the fish. now, many people, go
'yuck!' but i assure you that it is more for the body of the ice cream,
rather than the taste, because once you add it in, the 'cream' becomes
richer. and since you've already squeezed out the juices, there isn't much
fish taste to it. you need to sprinkle the fish crumbs in a little at a
time so that it is all evenly mixed in and that there are no big clumps.
you also have to watch out for small fish bones, because the white fish
usually has finer bones than others like king salmon.

5. now once you are all done with that, you fold in your berries.
traditionally, we pick blueberries, salmon berries, cranberries, and
blackberries out on the tundra and use those. my grandmother has used
frozen pre-packaged berries and they work fine too. but you have to
remember to use partially frozen berries. because if you use fresh, not
frozen berries they will just get squashed when you fold them into the
'cream' and then you don't get to eat berries as well as the cream. but you
Page 142

also have to remember that this needs to be done by hand and you can add
as little or as much as you want. we also add raisins, which add a nice
little kick. you might want to try the new craisins as well.

6. now this is the hardest part- freezing it. you need to let it freeze and
also to combine the flavors together. so put it in the freezer, and don't
stick your fingers in there. :) enjoy!

FEAST DAYS PINON TORTE

By: Barbara J. Beck

1 cup
pinon (pine nuts)
2 tbs
blue cornmeal
2 tbs
unsalted butter
9 oz.
semi-sweet mexican chocolate
6 6
egg yolks
3/4 cup
granulated sugar
1/4 cup
confectiner's sugar
2 tbs
blue cornmeal, decoration

Grease and flour a 9' round cake pan. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food
processor, grind the pinon to a moist nutmeal. Add the cornmeal
and blend again about 30 seconds, long enough to combine. In a double
boiler over medium-high heat, melt the butter and chocolate
together, stirring occasionally so that they melt and blend evenly. Add to
the pinon mixture in the food processor and blend about one
minute, until smooth. Beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla together in a
bowl, and add to the other ingredients in the food processor.
Blend until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake 20 minutes
or until the cake is firm and springs back when touched.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool before decorating.
When the torte has cooled after 25 minutes, remove it from the
pan. Be creative! Make a southwestern motif, ie: kokopelli, cut a stencil
out of cardboard. First dust the cake with confectioner's sugar
using a medium sieve, lightly tapping the sides, and moving it in a
circular motion around the surface of the torte. Then carefully hold the
stencil as close to the tortes surface as possible without touching and
sprinkle the blue cornmeal through the sieve ove the exposed
areas. Carefully remove the stencil without disrupting the design. For a
finishing touch, place a few pinons at the on the design.

Source: I found this recipe from a book called Native American Cooking
written by Lois Ellen Frank. I liked it because of the pinon usage with is
such
a delightful, mountain taste!

FUDGE WHIP PARFAITS

2/3 cup heavy (whipping) cream


1/3 cup whole milk
2 tablespoon (packed) light brown sugar
3 oz bittersweet chocolate,
1 coarsely chopped
2 large egg yolks
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon cognac
1 sweetened whipped cream

After dinner in the summer, when the sun was still out and bedtime
felt far off, the kids in the neighborhood I grew up in used to go
outside and play ball while waiting for the ice-cream man to drive
his truck down our street. Fudgsicles were favorite pops on a stick,
and nostalgia for that flavor went into the creation of this special
dessert.

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to
300 F.

2. Combine the cream, milk, and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring
to a simmer over medium heat, whisking lightly until the sugar has
melted. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the chocolate, and
cover the pan. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
Then uncover and whisk until smooth. Set it aside.

3. Whisk the egg yolks together with the vanilla in a mixing bowl
until light, about 2 minutes.

4. Whisking constantly, add the cream mixture to the egg yolks in a


slow, steady stream and continue whisking until just incorporated.
Whisk in the cognac. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve
into a bowl.

5. Pour the mixture into two 4-ounce ovenproof ramekins (they should
be three-fourths full). Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and
pour boiling water into the dish so that it comes two thirds of the
way up the sides of the ramekins. Lightly cover the baking dish with
aluminum foil and cut about eight slits in the foil so the steam can
escape. Bake until the whip is almost set (there will be a dime-sized
area in the center that will not be completely set), about 1 hour.

6. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow to cool to room
temperature (this will take 4 to 6 hours). Then chill completely in
the refrigerator. Serve with Sweetened Whipped Cream

GAME CASSOULET

2 tablespoons olive oil


1 ea medium onion, minced
1 cup cranberries or currants
2 lbs. mixed game, cut in small pieces**
1-1/2 cups red wine
2 cups beef broth or homemade stock
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon sage
salt and pepper to taste

** (duck, pheasant, venison, buffalo stew meat, turkey dark meat, elk or
rabbit)

Using a large, deep, heavy saucepan, saute the onion and berries over
medium heat for a few minutes. Add the meat and brown for 8 to 10 minutes.
Pour in the wine and let that liquid reduce until about half is evaporated.
Now add the broth or stock, thyme and sage and let the whole mixture cook
very slowly for about an hour or more, until the meat is very tender and
the gravy juices have thickened. If you think the juices aren't thick
enough, dust the meat with a little flour and stir it in. Put heat on low
or ''keep warm.'' Serve over hot pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.

This dish can be made a day ahead and reheated. If you want a little more
richness, add a tad of heavy cream and some garlic powder, but it is really
delicious just the way it is.

If you have pork or veal in your freezer to use up, you could easily
substitute it for one of the game meats. Veal is often sold in cutlet form
in small amounts. If you see it for a reasonable price, buy it and save it
up until you have enough to make a whole dinner, or use in a recipe like
the one above.

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 150

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

GEFULLTER REHRUCKEN GOLDENER HIRSCH

3 lb venison from the rump cut


1 into 2 inch cubes
1 peeled truffles
1 filling:
1 reserved venison trimmings
6 slice lean bacon, finely ground
2/3 cup ground lean pork
1/2 cup ground veal
1/4 cup minced goose or chicken livers
1 salt and pepper
1 allspice
1 marjoram
1 thyme to taste
1 madeira
1/3 cup shelled pistachio nuts
1 aspic:
2 envelopes gelatin
1/2 cup madeira
1 cup bouillon
1 salt
1 chestnuts
1 cumberland sauce

With a sharp knife remove the two loins from a well aged saddle of
venison, reserving the carcass, and draw off the thin covering of
membrane from the meat. Trim the ends of the loins, reserving the
trimmings, and slit each loin almost through lengthwise. Spread open
the meat and pound it lightly until it is evenly thick throughout.
Cover the meat with thin slices of peeled truffles. Grind finely the
reserved venison trimmings. Combine them in a bowl with 6 slices of
lean bacon, finely ground, 2/3 cup ground lean pork, 1/2 cup ground
veal, and 1/4 cup minced goose or chicken livers. Season the mixture
with salt, pepper, allspice, marjoram, and thyme to taste and add
enough Madeira so that the filling can be piped through a broad pastry
tube. Pipe the filling over the truffle slices and press 1/3 cup
shelled pistachio nuts into it.

Roll up the two pieces of venison carefully and wrap them securely in
foil. Put them in a roasting pan with the reserved carcass and roast
them, uncovered, in a very hot oven (450-F) for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, let the venison cool, and chill it. Trim
each loin to the exact length of the venison rack, replace them in the
carcass, and reshape the saddle. Arrange it on a platter and chill it.

Sprinkle 2 envelopes gelatin over 1/2 cup Madeira and let it soften
for about 10 minutes. Bring 1 cup bouillon to a boil, add it to the
gelatin mixture, and stir it until the gelatin is dissolved. Taste the
aspic and add salt and a little more Madeira, if needed. Let the aspic
cool until it begins to thicken slightly and brush it liberally over
the chilled venison. Chill the meat until the aspic is firm. Keep the
remaining aspic at room temperature, brushing it on the venison about
every 12 minutes, and chill the venison after each application until
Page 152

it is nicely glazed. If the aspic becomes too thick to brush, stand


the container in a bowl of hot water. Garnish the venison with
chestnuts and serve it with Cumberland sauce.

GRAPE DUMPLINGS

1 x no ingredients

Grape Dumplings:
As far as how many this feeds, who knows? You kinda just figure it as you
go..
Get about 48 oz of grape juice (purple, please). Add some sugar to taste,
average is1 cup; a little bit of butter or your favorite shortening; ;
have about 3 cups of flour ready. Get a big pot. Start heating the grape
juice
and sugar, but hold out say l l/2 cups of grape juice to help with the
actual
dumplings. now get a big bowl and mix up the butter (shortening),
grapejuice,
and flour. Just get right on in there with it until you've got a wad of
mixed
dough a little bit thicker than biscuit dough. Now flour a board (bread or
whatever's hanging around camp that the dog hasn't chewed too much) and
roll the
dough into about 4 or so circles...they should be 10 to 12 inches in
diameter
(if you're measuring) and about l/4 inch thick. Cut 'em up into stips that
are
about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. That's if you brought your ruler, if
not,
just make something that fits your hand. Heck, you can ball !
'em up for all I care. Is the juice boiling yet? Good! Toss in the
dumplings, one by one. Let 'em bounce around for about 15 minutes, give or
take (depends on what your campfire or stove is like, of course!) Have
helpers standing by to evaluate progress and help you fetch 'em out. Make
sure helpers don't help themselves to too many before you whoop up the
whole gang. And don't forget to save some for me! :)

GRILLED RABBIT AND SAUSAGE SKEWERS

1 several handfuls fo fresh


1 rosemary, oregano, and
1 marjoram sprigs
1 rabbit (about 3 pounds)
4 links italian sausage, cut
1 into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
1 parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
1 rosemary
1 salt and freshly gound black
1 pepper
12 paper-thin slices prosciutto
1 (about 1/4 pound total)
4 10-inch wooden skewers
1 olive oil for basting

Prepare a low charcoal fore or preheat gas grill for 15 minutes on


low. Toss several handfuls of mixed fresh herb twigs onto the fire.

Because there is not an abundance of meat on a rabbit, slice themeat


very close to the bone, using both a boning and paring knife and
trying to keep the pieces as large as possible. Put the rabbit and
sausage pieces in a bowl and toss with the parsley, rosemary, and
salt and pepper to taste.

Lay a piece of rabbit on a section of a paper-thin prosciutto slice


and roll up. Skewer the rolled-up rabbit with a sage leaf and a
sausage piece, in that order, until all the ingredients are used up.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until
golden brown, about 1 hour. Baste with olive oil during grilling.

GRILLED SALMON IN CORN HUSKS

2 large ears corn, unshucked**


1 stick (1/2 c.) unsalted butter, softened
a 3/4 lb. piece center-cut salmon f; ilet, cut into 4 pieces (
1/2 'x1')
4 fresh epazote leaves*, chopped
1 T. thinly sliced scallion
1 1/2 tsp. chipotle rub
accompaniment: tomatillo salsa- rec; ipe follows
for the chipotle rub:
1/4 c. dried mexican oregano*
1/4 c. corn oil
5 dried chipotle chiles*, stemmed, seeded,; and deveined (wear rubber
5 ancho chiles*, seeded and deveined (wear; rubber gloves)
25 garlic cloves
1/4 c. coarse salt

* available at Mexican markets and some specialty produce markets.


**dry corn husks may be used if fresh are unavailable; just soak them in
warm water to soften them.
To make the salmon:
Prepare grill.

Shuck corn, reserving largest outer husks (about 20 to 24) for wrapping
salmon and tearing some remaining husks lengthwise into narrow strips for
tying packages. Grill corn on a rack set 5' to 6' over glowing coals,
turning it frequently, until browned (not blackened) all over, about 12
minutes, and cool to room temperature. Cut kernels from cobs (there will be
about 1 3/4 C.) and in a bowl stir together with chipotle rub and butter
until combined well.

On a work surface arrange 5 to 6 large husks side by side, overlapping long


sides. Arrange a salmon piece in the center with length parallel to long
sides of husks and top with on fourth corn mixture, one fourth epazote, and
one fourth scallion. Fold long sides and ends of husks over filling and tie
with strips of husks. (Don't be a perfectionist about this. If it's not
possible to fold in ends of husks, tie off each end and middle with husk
strips.) Make 3 more packages in same manner with remaining husks, corn
mixture, epazote, and scallion.

Grill packages around edges (to avoid hottest part of coals) of a rack set
5' to 6' over glowing coals, covered, turning them once, until husks are
charred and salmon is just cooked through, about 6 minutes on each side.
(Packages may open while cooking, and butter might drip, causing
flare-ups.)

Serve salmon packages with salsa.

To make the chipotle rub:


In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat, shaking
skillet occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2
minutes, and transfer to a small bowl. Cool oregano completely and in an
electric coffee/spice grinder grind fine.
Page 167

In a heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not
smoking and, using tongs, fry chiles, 1 or 2 at a time, turning them, until
puffed and just beginning to brown, about 10 seconds. (Do not let chiles
burn or rub will be bitter.) Transfer chiles as fried to paper towels to
drain and cool until crisp.

Wearing rubber gloves, break chiles into pieces and in coffee/spice grinder
grind fine in batches. In a food processor grind oregano and chiles with
garlic and salt until mixture is a shaggy, saltlike consistency. If mixture
seems moist, on a large baking sheet spread it into a thin, even layer and
dry in middle of an oven set a lowest temperature until no longer moist,
about 1 hour. Wearing rubber gloves, break up any lumps with your fingers.
(Chipotle rub keeps in an airtight container, chilled, 6 months. Regrind
rub
before using.)

Makes about 3 1/4 C.

HOT CHOCOLATE, MAYAN STYLE

2 oz. unsweet bitter baker's chocolate


1 c. hot water
3 T. honey
dash of salt
3 c. hot milk
4 sticks cinnamon bark

When Cortez and his bunch arrived in Aztec country, they were unimpressed
by
the little dark brown beans everyone seemed to carry around, until they
learned that is was money; 100 cacao beans would buy a slave. Xocatl was
most likely developed as a food by Mayan peoples further south. The cocao
beans were a hot trade item before they finally got ground up and drunk as
hot chocolate.
Chop the chocolate squares, and heat it in the water until melted. Add
honey
and salt, and beat the hot chocolate water with a whisk as you add the
warmed milk. To make it more frothy, and give more food value, you can
beat up an egg or two, add hot chocolate to it, then pour it into the
chocolate cooking pot and continue to whip, (but this isn't authentic).
Serve the hot chocolate in mugs with cinnamon bark stick stirrers in each.
Purists will tell you cinnamon is Asian, not Meso-American, which is true,
but it is readily available, and the cinnamon-flavored barks (canella)
which are native to Mexico and Meso-America are not readily available. The
Aztecs, Mayans, and others of Meso America use canella as well as other
spices.

Sometimes Xocatl was made without honey, which is a bitter drink.


Apparently
this was how it was served in European coffee houses for about 100 years
until the Dutch got wise to the fact that chocolate and sugar are the
perfect taste combo, which the Native people already knew. The Dutch
developed the process of treating cacao bean grindings with alkalis to make
cocoa powder which keeps and dissolves better and has most of the bean's
fat
leached out of it. Chocolate's high potassium content makes a good excuse
to
pig out on it. It also contains thobromines which are allegedly similar to
internal brain hormones of people in love, which is supposed to explain the
tradition of giving a box of chocolates to a lover.

HOUMA CHICKEN FILE GUMBO

1 chicken cut into serving pieces


1 salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large onions, chopped (2 cups)
1 green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
1 quart water
1 1/2 teaspoon file powder
1 louisiana hot pepper sauce to taste; (optional)

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.
Heat oil in a large heavy pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add
onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring for 10 to 12 minutes, until
well browned. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of oil from pan and
add chicken pieces. Brown chicken well on both sides, 12 to 15
minutes. If pan juices begin to stick and burn, add a few drops of
water and stir and scrape with a spatula to loosen them. When
chicken is browned, add remaining water. Simmer over medium-low heat
for 20 to 30 minutes, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
Stir in file powder, remove from heat and cover for 5 minutes. Season
with salt, pepper and hot sauce if desired. Serve gumbo with rice.

INDIAN BLUEBERRY PUDDING

By: Jeff Smith

1/2 cup Flour


1 pound Blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup Honey or sugar; or to taste
4 cups Water

Boil the berries in the water. Drain the juice and set it aside. Mash the
berries and mix with the flour. Combine the honey or sugar with the juice
and add to the berry-flour mixture. Stir well. If lumps are present add
a little more water and continue to stir. Bring to a simmer and stir
constantly until thick. Check for sweetness.
Cool and serve.

Comments: This dish was originally made with chokecherries. I had no idea
what a chokecherry was because they are not found in the Pacific
Northwest. However, a friend sent me some chokecherries from Maine.
These tiny cherries are bitter enough to surprise you, and the pit is the
biggest part of the fruit.
The whole cherry, pit and all, was pounded and used to preserve meat, and
they are certainly sour enough to do just that. When they were made into a
pudding it must have taken the family's entire stock of honey to provide
enough sweetening.
Wild blueberries, which could not be preserved so easily, were also used
for this dish. You can use frozen berries and have an Indian meal at any
time of the year.

INDIAN CORN MEAL PUDDING

1 x no ingredients

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.

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

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 325°, 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 JERKY

3 gal water
2 lb dry brown sugar
1 oz saltpeter
1 oz cayenne pepper
1 cup juniper berries, crushed
1 whole piece ginger

Bring water to a boil and add remining ingredients. Boil for 5


minutes. Remove scum as it appears. Cool and store in a wooden
barrel or earthenware crock.

Jerky is dried meat, cut in long strips from large game or beef. To
prepare sun-dried jerky, cut fresh meat into long thi strips about
an inch wide and an inch thick. Rub the strips with salt and hang,
spaced well apart on racks, in the sun to dry. When dry, store in
sacks hung in a dry place.

Jerky can also be made by placing the strips in a corning solution


for 3 or 4 days, then hung on racks over a slow burning smoky fire
for about 2 days. The strips should be placed well apart to keep them
from touching each other. When dry, the strips should be wrapped in
a protective covering such as cheesecloth to keep insects and dirt
from settling on them.

Jerky will keep dry as long as it is exposed to the air and smoke. It
is important not to leave it longer than a couple of days. Then take
it down and store it in air-tight jars or other containers.

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

By: Thomas Jefferson's cookbook, from Monticello

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?)
Page 191

INDIAN PUDDING

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

The Puritan women learned how to make this dark, spicy dessert from
the Indians, and it has remained a New England favorite ever since,
probably because it warms the cockles and sticks to the bones during
those long winters.

Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream or heavy cream spooned over the
top.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees (F). Lightly grease a 6- or 8-cup


souffle' dish with butter.

Scald the milk in a medium-size saucepan over medium-low heat.

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.

Beat the eggs in a small bowl with a whisk. Add 1/2 cup of the hot
cornmeal mixture to the eggs while whisking rapidly. Then vigorously
whisk the egg mixture 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. From: Robert

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

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.

If using pitted fresh cherries: Coarsely chop the cherries (a food


processor works well for this). In a large saucepan, combine the cornstarch
and 1 1/2 C. sugar. Stir in 1 1/2 C. water the chopped cherries and their
juices. Stir until the cornstarch is disolved, adding a little more water
if mixture seems too thick.

until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in
additional sugar, if desired. Set aside.

Preheat overn to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place one recipe of dough on a


large, lightly floured board. Using a long French style rolling pin with no
handles, roll dough into a rectangle at least 2' larger than the pan.
Starting at one of the narrower ends, roll the dough up on the rolling pin,
then unroll it onto the pan. Gently press the crust into the pan and fill
it with the cherries, spreading the mixture evenly. Roll out the second
crust and unroll it over the cherries. Use scissors or a sharp knife to
trim the edges, leaving a 1' overhang. Crimp the edges together and use a

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.

JOINT OF WHALE MEAT STEEPED IN RED WINE MARINADE

1 1/4 kg whale meat


3 deciliter red wine
1 deciliter vegetable oil
3 ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 teaspoon salt
1 the marinade:
3/4 liter juices from the meat
1 thickening (milk and flour)
4 dessert spoonfuls of sour
1 cream (20% rømme)
1 sugar colouring
1 salt

It may be a good idea to bind the joint to help it keep in good shape.
Place it in a small oven dish and pour the marinade over. Leave the
joint there until the next day, turning it at regular intervals.
Remove the joint from the dish, dry i t well and rub it with salt.
Cook the joint until it turns a pleasant brown colou r all over, turn
down the heat and add water to reach 2-3 cm up the side of the j
oint, approx. 3/4 litre. Let the joint simmer for about 20 minutes,
turn it over and leave it for another 20 minutes. Measure enough of
the juices to make enough marinade, about 3/4 litre. Add the
thickening to the marinade, and then the sour cream to taste. Serve
with boiled beans or other vegetables, and potatoes - boiled or fried
in the pan.

KANGAROO PEPPER STEAK WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

1 kg kangaroo fillet or grilling


1 steaks
1 some flour
300 gm mushrooms, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon olive oil
400 ml can of coconut milk
2/3 cup dry white wine
3 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
3 dessert spoons beerenberg
1 bavarian prepared mustard
3 tablespoon chopped coriander
1 salt to taste

Sprinkle steaks with flour and pepper, and rub in, both sides. Heat
oil and quickly cook steaks until juices appear on the top surface,
(about 3 minutes per side). Remove steaks to a warm plate to rest.
Add butter to pan and saute onion and mushrooms for 4 minutes. Add
wine to pan and boil down until almost dry, stirring. Add coconut
milk and stir until it starts to thicken. Stir in mustard. Add salt
to taste. Pour mushroom sauce over steaks, and sprinkle with chopped
coriander. Serve with a side salad.

The original recipe used cream and parsley, but I found the coconut
milk and coriander better complements the kangaroo flavour. Our
local brand of mustard is excellent, but any good German mustard
would do.

LAVENDER CREME BRULEE

4 cup heavy cream


1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers*
8 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar, divided

*Available in health food stores or use your home-dried flowers

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter (6-ounce) custard cups and set
them into a glass baking dish. If cooking custards in a metal pan,
cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of newspaper to ensure an
even temperature on the bottom. Place custard cups in a shallow
ovenproof roasting or baking pan.

In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, add cream and the
lavender flowers; heat just to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow
lavender flowers to infuse with the cream for 5 minutes. Strain cream
mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove lavender flowers.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until
light and creamy. Slowly add the strained cream to the egg mixture,
blending well. Divide custard mixture among the custard cups.

Bring the water for the water bath to a light simmer on top of the
stove; carefully pour hot water into the baking pan to come half-way
cup the sides of the custard cups. NOTE: The most common mistake
people make in baking a custard is not putting enough water in the
hot-water bath. The water should come up to the level of the custard
inside the cups. You must protect your custard from the heat.

Baked 60 minutes or until set around the edges but still loose in the
center. The cooking time will depend largely on the size of the
custard cups you are using, but begin checking at a half hour and
check back regularly. When the center of the custard is just set, it
will jiggle a little when shaken, that's when you can remove it from
the oven.

Remove from oven and leave in the water bath until cooled. Remove cups
from water bath and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.

When ready to serve, sprinkle approximately 2 teaspoons of remaining


sugar over each creme brulee. For best results, use a small hand-held
torch. Hold the torch 4 to 5 inches from the sugar, maintaining a slow
and even motion. Stop torching just before the desired degree of
doneness is reached, as the sugar will continue to cook for a few
seconds after flame has been removed.

If you don't have a torch, place creme brulees 6 inches below the
broiler for 4 to 6 minutes or until sugar bubbles and turns golden
brown. Refrigerate creme brulees at least 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 6 to 8 servings (depending on size of custard cups).

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.

stirring gently. Pour mixture into four 3/4 cup ramekins placed side
by side on a small baking pan. Fill the pan halfway up the sides of
the ramkins with cold water and bake for 15 -18 minutes until a skin
forms on the surface of the crème brûlées ( the custard underneath
will be liquid and the skin may brown a little in spots) Cool
ramekins in refrigerator until ready to serve (up to 6 hours). Before
serving sprinkle each ramekin with 1- 1/2 Tblsp brown/maple sugarand
place under broiler until the sugar caramelizes about 2-3 mins. Allow
the custards to cool and form a crisp top, then serve

MESQUITE BEAN CAKES

1 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.

NATIVE AMER PUDDING

By: Allegedly from Daniel Boone's Wife

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 sam
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp salt
ice cream [i prefer vanilla]

Supposedly, this is an authentic recipe from Daniel Boone's wife Rebecca.


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.

NATIVE AMER-HOPI 'PIKI' BLUE CORN FLATCAKES

recipe

Aiieeeeee! 'Piki' is absolutely NOT 'fry-bread.' The two terms are


NOT synonymous. The recipe posted to rec.food.recipes under the title
above is for fry-bread, widely made and enjoyed by Native Americans and
late-comers alike, but most often thought of in association with the
Navajo. Recall, however, that wheat is not native to the New World, so
fry-bread is a comparatively recent treat that developed from similar
products (e.g., sopapillas) introduced with the coming of Spaniards to
what is now the U.S. southwest.

Piki is indeed primarily made by the Hopi. It is made by preparing a


thin gruel of metate-ground cornmeal (almost always of blue corn) in
water with a little juniper ash. In an authentic preparation, a broad,
flat stone is heated over an open fire until a few drops of water
sprinkled on the rock jump and dance as they evaporate quickly. The
piki-maker dips the palm of her hand in the cornmeal mixture and quickly
smears the mixture over the hot rock, leaving a very thin layer covering
most of the rock. As the piki cooks, drying and beginning to curl at
the edges, she carefully peels it away and rolls it up, folding and
tucking it while it is hot to obtain the desired dimensions. A finished
piki typically is a roll that is 8 to 10 inches long, perhaps 2 inches
in diameter, medium blue-gray in color, consisting of numerous layers of
very fine, thin, crispy cornmeal 'bread.' The piki is very fragile and
flakes off easily. Some people say it is a bit of an acquired taste,
although I loved it at first bite...admittedly, it is a bit unusual.
Often someone will take one bite, comment 'it's like eating ashes,' and
never eat it again. But it has a subtle, delicious corn flavor that
lingers in the mouth well after the crispy flakes are gone.

Piki is a Native American original, made from a New World plant (maize
or corn), and probably has been around a very long time.

There's little point in trying to make a piki-taste-alike in a home


kitchen, as it requires the proper consistency of blue corn meal, the
juniper ash, the magic of the stone griddle, and the hand of an
experienced maker to deliver the full experience. Instead, visit a
place where piki is being made or sold and try it for yourself. The
Heard Museum Indian Market in Phoenix (held around the first week of
March each year) often has a demonstrator making (and selling) piki. At
the world-famous Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico (usually the 3rd
weekend of August each year), several Hopi craftspeople bring and sell
piki at their booths. Piki can be found at various other Indian
gatherings where there are Hopi in attendance.

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.

1/2 cup chicken stock
6 eggs; well beaten
1 cup corn oil (for frying)
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 244

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!

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.

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 272

cools. May be stored, refrigerated, for 1-2 weeks. Makes about 1 cup.

Yield: serves 6-8

PIKANTE REHFILETSCHNITTEN

1/2 cup dry red wine


1/2 cup water
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into inch sli; ces
2 tablespoon finely chopped shallots, or
1 sub
2 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
2 inch piece of cinnamon
1 stick
1 small bay leaf
1 whole clove
3 parsley sprigs
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 lb venison tenderloin, cut into inch-t; hick slices
3 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon brandy

Venison Tenderloin in Spiced Brandy Sauce

In a small mixing bowl, combine the red wine, water, sliced onion,
shallots, cinnamon, bay leaf, clove, parsley, thyme, salt and a few
grindings of pepper. Arrange the venison slices in one layer in a
shallow baking dish and pour the marinade over them, turning the
steaks to moisten them thoroughly. Marinate at room temperature for
at least 2 hours, turning the steaks once or twice.

Preheat the oven to 300°. Remove the steaks from the marinade and
pat them thoroughly dry. Set the marinade aside. In a heavy 10- to
12-inch skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam
subsides, add the venison steaks and brown them for 2 or 3 minutes on
each side, regulating the heat so they color quickly and evenly and
without burning. Transfer the steaks to a shallow baking casserole or
baking dish just large enough to hold them comfortably in one layer,
and set them aside.

Strain the marinade through a fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing
down hard on the vegetables with the back of a spoon before discarding
them. Add the flour to the fat remaining in the skillet, and cook
over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the flour browns
lightly. Gradually pour in the strained marinade, chicken stock and
brandy. Stirring constantly with a whisk, bring it to a boil,
continuing to stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the venison steaks and bake
in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, basting them occasionally
with pan juices. Serve at once, directly from the casserole, or on a
large heated platter.

NOTE: In Germany the venison is browned in butter as described above.


Because butter alone burns easily, you may prefer to use 2 tablespoons
Page 274

of butter combined with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. (Or just use


clarified butter)

the Blue Cornmeal Hotcakes. Add the butter, then eggs and milk,
mixing thoroughly.

Warm a griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with the butter.

Drop spoonfulls of the batters on to the griddle. The Pinon Hotcakes


may have to be pressed with a well-greased spatula into 1/4 to 1/2
inch thick cakes, 3 inches in diameter, because the batter is very
thick. Turn the cakes once as they begin to brown. To keep the
finished hotcakes warm, stack them on a cookie sheet, cover them with
a clean towel, and place them in the oven set at a very low heat.
Butter the griddle between each batch.

Serve with the Prickly Pear Syrup and Peach Honey.

blender. Mix the ground nut meal toghether with the flour, salt, and
sugar, and add the milk to form a stiff batter. Ser aside and let
stand 1 hour before cooking.

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt for
the Blue Cornmeal Hotcakes. Add the butter, then eggs and milk,
mixing thoroughly.

Warm a griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with the butter.

Drop spoonfulls of the batters on to the griddle. The Pinon Hotcakes


may have to be pressed with a well-greased spatula into 1/4 to 1/2
inch thick cakes, 3 inches in diameter, because the batter is very
thick. Turn the cakes once as they begin to brown. To keep the
finished hotcakes warm, stack them on a cookie sheet, cover them with
a clean towel, and place them in the oven set at a very low heat.
Butter the griddle between each batch.

Serve with the Prickly Pear Syrup and Peach Honey.

Makes 35 to 40 hotcakes.

POROTOS GRANADOS (CHILEAN BEAN STEW)

4 c. (1 l) great northern, cannellini or navy; beans, drained


2 c. (500 ml) peeled and diced pumpkin or other w; inter squash
1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
3 t. (45 ml) oil
1 onion, chopped
1 t. (15 ml) paprika
4-6 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 ears fresh corn, cut into 2' (5 cm) piec; es
salt and freshly ground pepper to t; aste
chopped fresh basil for garnish

This classic Chilean dish composed of beans, corn, pumpkin, peppers, and
tomatoes, all New World ingredients, flaunts its pre-Columbian roots.
Traditionally made with 'aji' pepper of Chile, a fiery hot yellow pepper
that spices up many Chilean specialties, you may substitute jalapenos or
habeneros(dependingt on how hot you like it) if you can't get the genuine
article.
Combine the beans, pumpkin, jalapenos, and enough water to cover in a pot
and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer covered for
20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over moderate heat and
saute the onion and paprika until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the onion mixture to the beans along with the tomatoes, corn, salt, and
pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes and serve garnished with chopped basil.

Yield: serves 6 to 8.

uncovered, until grains are translucent, 13 to 15 minutes. Drain well in
a sieve.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, 3/4 cup sugar, and salt in a large
bowl until just combined. Stir in quinoa, bread crumbs, nuts, and
currants and pour into a buttered 9-inch square metal baking pan.

Stir together cinnamon and remaining tablespoon sugar and sprinkle

RABBIT CHASSEUR

2 rabbits, cut into serving - pieces


1/4 cup oil, peanut
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 flour
1 salt (to taste)
1 pepper, white (to taste)
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon paste, tomato
2 cup wine, white
----BUERRE MANIE----
2 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoon butter

Heat the peanut oil in a skillet and dust the rabbit with flour.
Brown the rabbit over high heat quickly then pour off the oil and
fats that accumulate.

Add onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, flour, salt, pepper, bay


leaves, and tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the wine and bring the mixture to a boil.

Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Bake the rabbit in your oven for 45 minutes.

Remove the rabbit and thicken the sauce with the beurre manie
(you know that fancy chefs have to have fancy names ... this is a
"roux".) For the beurre manie, simply melt the butter in a saute pan,
add the flour and then cook over medium heat for a minute or two to
take the "floury" flavor out of the mix.

Pour the sauce over the rabbit and serve.

2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 scant teaspoons sugar
2 cup heavy cream
----RABBIT----
1 large rabbit (about 5 pounds)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour salt and freshly; milled black pepper
12 shallots, halved
1 cup fresh cranberries
4 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inc; h julienne
----SAUCE----
1 cup dry vermouth

3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey mustard

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

For the dough: In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

The Rabbit: Cut the rabbit into small serving pieces. Remove all of
the fat and place it in a shallow ovenproof casserole. Place in the
hot oven to render the fat. Season the flour with salt and pepper and
dredge the rabbit pieces in it. Pour the rendered fat into a large
heavy skillet set over moderate heat. When the fat is hot, add the

browned bits that cling to the bottom. Add the reduced brown sauce,
sour cream, heavy cream and honey mustard. Blend well and simmer.
Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook the sauce until
reduced slightly and pour over the rabbit. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Assemble the shortcake. Either spoon the dough over the rabbit and
sauce to cover, or on a floured surface, use your fingers to pat out
the dough 1./2 inch thick, shaped to fit the casserole, and set the
dough in place. Bake for 45 minutes, until golden and serve.

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.

RACK OF VENISON WITH APPLE AND SZECHUAN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

3 tablespoon vegetable oil


1 whole 9 rib rack farm raised
1 venison (??? udd)
1 salt and freshly ground
1 black pepper to taste
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 tart apples (such as granny
1 smith),
1 cored and sliced into
1 eighths
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoon szechuan peppercorns,
1 toasted and crushed
1/2 cup game stock or chicken stock
3 tablespoon sweet butter

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot. Season the
venison with salt and pepper and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on all
sides. Remove the venison from the skillet and place in a roasting
pan. Pour off and discard the oil from the skillet.

Over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. When
the foaming of the butter subsides, add the apples and saute until
they begin to caramelize, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and the
vinegar and cook another 1 to 2 minutes to reduce the vinegar by
half. Add the wine and Szechuan peppercorns, cook for 2 minutes
before adding the stock. Return to a boil, and reduce the stock for
another minute. Keep the sauce warm while the venison finishes
cooking. When ready to serve swirl the butter into the sauce.

Place the venison in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes,


until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees for
medium rare. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing
into chops. Serve two chops per person, with some of the apple
peppercorn sauce ladled over each serving.

RATTLESNAKE CHILE

1 rattler; 6-foot-long, kinned, bone


1 lb lean pork shoulder
15 oz mild roasted green chilies; canned or fresh roasted
4 cup onion; finely chopped
3 centiliter garlic; minced
1/2 lb bacon
2 tablespoon cornmeal
15 oz chopped tomatoes; undrained
4 tablespoon chili powder
5 jalapeno peppers
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1/2 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 can kidney beans; 15oz
1 can pinto beans; 15oz
1 can black beans; 15oz
1/2 cup gold tequila

NOTE: Huntin' your own rattler is not recommended! Check with your
local butcher or specialty food store.

DIRECTIONS:

If you're using fresh chiles, roast, cool, peel, seed and chop to
yield about 1 1/2 cups. Test for spiciness: some chiles are hotter
than others, and you may not need to add this much. Set aside.

Fry the bacon until crisp, and set aside to cool. In a large soup pot,
saute the onions and garlic in about 2 Tbsp of the bacon drippings
until transparent. Add the cornmeal and chopped tomatoes with their
juice, the chopped green chiles, cumin, chili powder, oregano and 1
cup of water. Simmer for half an hour.

Meanwhile, seed and chop the jalapeno peppers, (avoid touching the
seeds and take care not to rub your eyes). Add the chopped pepper and
1/2 cup of water to a blender and puree. Add about half the
water/pepper mix to the pot, saving the rest to be added to taste
later. Continue to simmer the chile base for another 15 minuttes.

Drain the beans and stir them into the pot. Remove about 1 1/2 cups
of the chile and puree in a blender with the peanut butter and
chocolate (these ingredients mellow the acidity of the chiles and
allow the flavors to come through, without imparting any of their own
flavor). Return to the pot.

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.
Page 322

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.

RAYMOND'S BRAISED VENISON WITH A BITTER CHOCOLATE SAUCE

4 single 250g/9oz pieces of venison


1 shoulder
50 ml/2fl oz sunflower oil
1 salt and freshly ground
1 black pepper
1 for the marinade:
1 bottle 750ml/11/2 pint red
1 wine
8 juniper berries, crushed
12 black peppercorns, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 sprig of fresh thyme
1 strip of orange peel
1 medium carrot, diced
1 large onion, peeled and roughly
1 chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 celery stick, chopped
1 for the sauce:
1 tablespoon tomato puree
350 400ml/12-14fl oz water
1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
30 g/11/2oz bitter chocolate,
1 grated
1 for the garnish (optional):
24 chestnuts, prepared and
1 cooked

Put the red wine in a pan and boil to reduce by one-third. Allow to
cool down to room temperature. Place the venison in a large container
and cover with the reduced wine and all the remaining marinade
ingredients. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 24 hours. Preheat
the oven to 110C/225F/Gas1/2. Drain the venison and the vegetables
and pat them dry. Reserve the wine. In a non-stick pan, heat the
sunflower oil until smoking and sear and colour both pieces of
venison on all sides to a good deep brown. This operation will take
about 10 minutes. Transfer the venison pieces to a cast-iron
casserole.

In the oil remaining in the non-stick pan, colour the vegetables and
seasonings lightly, about 5 minutes, then transfer them to the
casserole with the venison. Add the tomatopuree to the non-stick pan
and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the reserved red wine from the
marinade, and bring to the boil. Pour over the venison, vegetables
and seasonings in the casserole, and barely cover with the water.
Season lightly with salt. Bring to the boil for 1 minute, skim, then
cover with a tight lid. Braise in the preheated oven for 3BD hours.

Strain the juices into a large saucepan and reduce on full heat to
about 300ml/10fl oz. Reduce the heat until the sauce barely simmers,
then add the redcurrant jelly. Correct the seasoning and finally,
whisk in the grated chocolate. Mix the venison and vegetables back
Page 324

into the sauce, and re-heat gently. Add the chestnuts if using. You
may serve the venison from the casserole or transfer it to a nice
serving dish. Serve to your guests.

REHBRATEN

4 venison steaks (up to 5) -1/2 to 1; thick


1 box pickling spices
8 oz bottle italian dressing
1 cup tart red wine (to 2 cups)
1 meat tenderizer
1 flour
1 margarine
1 misc. vegetables (opt'l.)

Trim all cartilage from steaks (shoulder, round or rump roasts may be
used); cut steaks into "teriyaki" strips.

Make a marinade of the pickling spices, Italian dressing and red


wine. Lay venison strips in a flat shallow dish with enough marinade
to cover the meat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil
and place in the refrigerator. The marinating process must be at
cold temperature and the meat must be completely covered with the
marinade at all times.

After 3 or 4 days, take the meat out of the marinade, drain well, and
wipe with paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with a meat tenderizer.
Flour the meat on both sides and brown in margarine in an iron
skillet or Dutch oven.

Strain the marinade into a shallow baking dish. Add to meat and,
when it is simmering briskly, cover and continue cooking until meat
is tender, about 3 hours. Peek at it occasionally and if the gravy
cooks down, add more wine so that the meat is completely covered at
all times.

Onions, small potatoes, scallions, carrots and celery sticks may be


added if desired. These vegetables add a special zest to the other
vegetable you will have with the meal.

ROAST LEG OF VENISON OR CARIBOU

1 leg of venison or caribou; bone in


6 oz fat larding pork or
6 strips of bacon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger [opt'l] or
1/4 teaspoon allspice and
1 oregano leaves or
1 marjoram leaves or
1 sprigs of rosemary or
1 sage and garlic
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup butter; melted
2 cup meat stock; beef or venison
1 cup dry sherry; divided
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoon butter; melted
5 teaspoon dry red wine
1/4 tablespoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoon tart currant or cranberry jelly

Yes, this recipe uses both sherry and red wine together. If using
allspice, you can also add a pinch of cloves and substitute apple
cider for the wines. If using garlic and herbs, chianti is good.

Before being butchered, venison should hang in a cool place for at


least three or four days after the kill. Wipe it and dry well. Remove
all skin, membrane and sinews. Wrap and freeze until used.

Defrost the roast. Pre-heat oven to 450 F. The fat pork should be cut
into strips about 1/3" wide and 2" long. Then roll the pork strips in
seasonings and insert them in a larding needle. Pull the strips
through the meat at regular intervals, allowing the fat to show
outside the meat at both ends.

If no larding needle is available, use smoke-cured bacon draped over


the roast, sprinkle roast with the spices and herbs and cook at 275
F., 50 minutes per pound. Or better yet cut gashes in the roast about
2 inches apart and part way through the roast. Place in each gash a
pinch of herbs, a slice of bacon and optionally a slice of garlic.
Baste often.

Now rub the roast with oil and place it in a roasting pan. Pour the
melted butter over it. Put in oven and turn down heat to 300 F. Or,
more trouble but better, brown the meat on all sides in hot oil in a
skillet and then transfer the meat to the roasting pan and roast at
300.

Roast for 4 to 5 hours, or until meat is brown and very tender. It


should be basted every 15 minutes with a mixture of the meat stock and
half of sherry. At the end of the cooking time, remove the meat from
pan; skim off all the fat from the gravy.
Page 329

Make a smooth paste of flour, butter and stock; add wine and orange
rind and stir in the gravy in the pan. Bring to a boil, stirring as
the gravy thickens. Add the rest of the sherry and the jelly. Now
finish the roast in a slow oven [250], basting frequently with the
completed gravy, for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Serve remaining gravy and more fruit jelly with the roast.

ROAST LOIN OF VENISON WITH CRANBERRIES

2 thick slices of lemon


2 thick slices of orange
2 slices fresh ginger, peeled
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 small bay leaf
2 cup fresh cranberries
4 lb boneless loin of venison, at room t; emperature
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon juniper berries, finely chopped
2 cup dry red wine
2 cup beef or venison stock
2 tablespoon cold butter, cut into pieces
1 fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish

In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the lemon, orange, ginger,


sugar and bay leaf with 1 cup of cold water. Bring to a boil over
high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to
moderate and boil, uncovered, until syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in
the cranberries, then remove from heat and cool. Transfer the
mixture to a glass container, coer and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days,
stirring once or twice during that time. Preheat the oven to 400F.
Rub the venison with the olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, 1
teaspoon of the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the chopped juniper
berries, pressing the seasonings into the meat. Set the loin on a
rack in a roasting pan and roast, basting frequently with the pan
juices, until medium-rare (about 135F on a meat thermometer), 25 to
30 minutes. Cover the venison loosely with foil and set aside for 10
to 15 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, remove and discard the bay
leaf and the lemon, orange and ginger slices from the cranberries. In
a food processor or blender, puree half the cranberries and half the
liquid until smooth. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, boil the wine
over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 mintues. Add the
stock and bring to a boil. Add the cranberry puree, reduce the heat
to low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 10
minutes. Remove from heat. Strain the reamining whole cranberrie and
add them to the sauce with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt,
pepper and chopped juniper berries. Swirl in the cold butter. Slice
the venison thinly (stir any juices into the sauce) and serve wtih
the sauce, reheated if necessary.

SHAGGY MANE QUICHE

1/2 recipe pie crust (page xx)


5 to 6 bacon slices, cut into
1 inch pieces
1/2 to 1 pound shaggy manes,
1 sliced
4 shallots or green onions,
1 minced
1/2 cup freshly grated provolone
1 cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne
4 eggs, well beaten
2 cup half and half

The shaggy mane is a favorite mushroom among mushroom-lovers. The caps


liquefy rapidly, so speed is essential in getting them into the pot.
One ardent admirer of this mushroom takes a skillet and butter on
collecting trips so that the shaggy manes can be eaten where they are
found.

Prepare the pie crust. Roll the dough out to a 10-inch crust. Line a
9-inch pie pan with the crust. Crimp the edges.

In a saut‚ pan or skillet, fry the bacon until crisp, then remove it
from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard
all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat and saut‚ the mushrooms and
shallots until the shallots are translucent and most of the mushroom
liquid has evaporated.

Spread the bacon over the pie crust. Add the grated cheese, then the
mushroom and shallots. Mix the nutmeg, salt, and cayenne into the
beaten eggs. Add the cream. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the
bacon, cheese, and mushrooms.

Bake the quiche in a preheated 350§ oven for about 35 minutes or


until the custard is set and the top is brown.

SOUTHWESTERN BEAN PANCAKES

2 c. cooked or canned kidney or other be; ans, drained


1 3/4 c. cornmeal
salt and freshly ground pepper to t; aste
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, or to taste

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.

Remove bacon to drain on paper towels.

Season the rabbit with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining bacon fat
and sear the rabbit pieces until golden on all sides, turning often,
about 56 minutes. Lift out the rabbit pieces and reserve. Add the
onion to the pan and saute until the onions are soft and caramelized,
about 57 minutes. Add the garlic, almonds, cinnamon, red pepper
flakes and salt, and cook until the aromas are released, about 1
minute. Add the wine and reduce by half.

Add the stock, browned rabbit pieces, browned bacon and bay leaves.
Cook, covered, until rabbit is fork tender, about 1 hour.

Carefully lift out the rabbit pieces and transfer to a serving


platter. Add the sherry to the sauce along with enough butter to
thicken the sauce, whisking until the butter is incorporated. Pour
the sauce over the warm rabbit pieces and garnish with toasted sliced
almonds.

1 into serving pieces
2 teaspoon salt
1 water
3 tablespoon flour
1/2 tablespoon mint, finely
1 chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup mushrooms

Place the squirrel meat into a large soup kettle. Cover with water
and add two teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower
heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the scum as it
rises to the surface. Take the squirrels out of the kettle and cool
to room temperature. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat from the bones
and cube it. strain the broth and pour into a three-quart saucepan.
Add the flour, mint, salt, pepper, mushrooms to the broth stirring
constantly. Cook for 20 minutes. Add the meat and cook for another 10
minutes. Pour into a well-greased casserole. If you like, cover the
meat with a layer of biscuit dough.

Roll out the dough and cut into rounds. Preheat the oven to 400
degrees F. Put the buiscuits on top of the stew in the casserole.
Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Often the easiest way to prepare squirrel meat in the hunt camp is to
make a casserole the night before. Trapper Jim often did this and
here is one of his specialties.

fork, until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the onions and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium.


Page 355

Stir in the oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and sugar and cook
until aromatic, 2 minutes.

Stir in the venison, tomatoes, red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is very
tender, stirring occasionally, about 1-1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, bring the beans to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the beans are tender but not
mushy, about 1 hour, adding more water if necessary to keep the beans
covered.

Drain well.

Degrease the chili, then stir in the beans and vinegar.

Simmer 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

This chili should be thick, but can be thinned with broth, if


necessary.

Ladle the chili into large bowls. Top with sour cream, papayas, and
scallions.

Serve at once.

add a beaten egg and process until a thick paste is produced.

Take a boned quail and spread it out, skin side down on a board.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and place half of the
stuffing on the bird. Reshape the bird around the stuffing and tie in
place with either string or cocktail sticks. Repeat with the other
bird. Place both birds in the dish used for cooking the stuffing. Dot
with butter and cook in a moderately hot oven for about 40 min, until
golden brown. Serve with freshly steamed veg and spuds, to rapturous
applause!

and definately worthwhile. Place the bird, breast down on a board and
cut along the back bone, from end to end. Pull the skin and meat back
away from the bone. When you reach the joints for the legs and wings
use a heavy knife to break the joint. The bone should pop out of the
sockets fairly easily. Keep pulling the meat off the breast bone,
using a knife if neccesary. Finally you should be able to remove the
backbone, ribcage, and brest bone as one. The leg and wing bones can
be left in place, and in fact help maintain shape during reforming,
and cooking. This took me about 20 minutes for the first one, and
about half as long for the second.

I haven't done an in depth study but it would seem that this recipe is
fairly low in fat, especially if you leave the wine out and replace
it with stock? (chicken??, veg?). It is also cheap at less than three
pounds per head. Enjoy!

SWEET BLACKBERRY BLUE CORN TAMALE

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 tablespoons softened butter
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
8 big dry husks, or 10' aliminum foil squ; ares
filling:
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or black waln; uts
2 tablespoons maple candy rolled into crumbs or
2 tablespoons almond paste
topping:
3/4 cup sour cream, do not use yoghurt
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
2 cups fresh blackberries 'destemmed' and; washed
2 tbs 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.

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
Page 361

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.

SWEET CORN CAKE

Corn husks (enough to line and


cover a 3 qt. steamer basket in a
double layer)
1/4 cup vegetable shortening (like
Crisco)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup masa dough*
1 cup cold water
1 lb. corn, fresh and cut off the
cob (or frozen and thawed)
1/2 cup yellow corn meal
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

k by popular demand! Our most requested


recipe!
This popular dish is really more like a
pudding than a cake. Serve a scoop of it
freshly steamed as it loses its light, fluffy
consistency when reheated in the oven.
The secret to making great corn cake is in
the steaming. You can try and bake the cake
in a pan in the oven (inserted in a pan of
water to create steam), or you can steam them
on the stove in a steamer basket** as in the
following recipe:

oak corn husks in hot water


for 30 minutes until pliable.
Drain.
* Place vegetable shortening and
Page 366

butter in a mixing bowl and


beat on medium speed until
mixture becomes fluffy and
creamy. Add masa and mix on
low speed for about 2 minutes.
Add water and mix well on
medium speed.
* In a large mixing bowl combine
the corn meal, sugar, whipping
cream, baking powder and salt.
Add the masa mixture and the
ground corn and mix well.
* To steam the corn cake, line
the steamer basket with the
softened corn husks. Fill with
corn cake batter. Cover with
more corn husks and a tea
towel to absorb moisture.
Steam on the stove for about
21/2 hours. Batter should not
stick to husks when corn cake
is done. If it does, it needs
to steam longer.

*Note on Masa:
You can buy prepared masa
dough at most Mexican and
specialty food markets. Or you
can readily purchase Masa
Harina (made by Quaker Oats)
which is dried corn that has
been ground and treated. It is
the basic ingredient used in
making tamale dough (also
called masa).

**Note on steamers:
You can also improvise a
steamer by placing a rack on
cans in a large stockpot or
Dutch oven with a
tight-fitting lid.

WAS-NAH (CORN AND CHERRY SNACK)

1 2 c cornmeal

1 c Bing cherries, seeded


1/2 lb Butter, softened
2 c Brown sugar

To be authentic, use chokecherries in place of the Bing cherries,


maple sugar or syrup in place of the sugar and buffalo kidney fat (or
beef suet?) in place of the butter.

Place the cornmeal on a cookie sheet and toast it in a 325 degree oven
until it begins to brown. Careful -- this will not take long.

Drain the cherries well and chop coarsely. Mix all ingredients
together well and chill in the refrigerator. To serve, simply dish

WAS-NAH CORN AND CHERRY SNACK

By: Jeff Smith

2 cups Cornmeal
1 cup Bing cherries; pitted
1/2 pound Butter; softened
2 cups Brown sugar

Place the cornmeal on a cookie sheet and toast in a 325 degree oven until
it begins to brown. Careful -- this will not take long.
Drain the cherries well and chop coarsely.
Mix all the ingredients together well and chill in the refrigerator.
To serve, simply dish out by the tablespoonful. It can be eaten like
candy.

Comments: I think it is important to let our children know that not all
Americans have enjoyed sweet things in the forms that are so common today.
This is such a treat -- a treat from the American Indian community.
It is made with truly American food products, though we will substitute
Bing cherries for the choke cherries, and butter for the buffalo kidney
fat. We still have a dish that is close to a wonderful Indian snack.
The toasted cornmeal winds up tasting something like popcorn.

WOJAPE

By: Paula Giese

1 text file

A berry pudding to eat with fry bread. From Stacy Winter, a Crow Creek
Lakota woman, who says to dip fry bread into it. We usually serve it
over the fry bread, but then people pick it up and scoop around in
the wojape. She calls it modern because of using any kind of frozen
berries; we often use commodities gallon cans. This recipe makes
enough for about 20-30 people who have 1-2 fry breads with it. It
resides on the Indian Health Service server.

Wild Strawberries in chocolate fondue

Well, you take about a pound of expensive bittersweet chocolate,


shave it and melt it in a little coffee with a tablespoon of butter
stirred in. Keep it warm in a fondue pot over a little burner for the
pot. And about a quart of delicious little red-all-through wild
strawberries, chilled. And one fondue fork per person. Swirl a berry
in the chocolate. Other bland, crisp fruits can stretch the berries
if you don't have enough:

Apple slices (Green Granny Smith), Pear slices. Sprinkle these slices
with lemon juice so they won't turn brown. Small cubes (1 inch or
less) of French bread (especially crust) is also good. Then; frog
out on it!

A little cultural explanation, here, of that picture. Midegrave;


teachings about death is that the spirit will, on its road toward the
Milky Way, encounter the temptation of a giant wild strawberry. If
you are too greedy there (like you were in life), your spirit will
turn into a frog, right there, eating more from the base of the berry
and croaking futile warnings at other spirits coming along there. I
always figured I wouldn't be too greedy, except that wild
strawberries are so much better than those big white tasteless things
from the store. Still, I could maybe pig-out or frog-out on just a F
~ E - W bites, then move on. But, if they got a pot of melted
bitter-sweet chocolate, and a fondue fork to swirl that incomparably
delicious red berry meat with right by that giant strawberry there,
I think they got me. Still, I figure chocolate fondue strawberries is
not traditional, so probably they won't have any, I'm safe.
