This is my Heritage cook for the guru challenge.
I am Cherokee and English
English on my Father side is Ancestered back to Samuel Prescott who rode with Paul Revere
"The British are coming"
One was killed by beheading and the other became lost in the woods..as the story goes..
My Great grandmother was full bloodied Cherokee on my Daddy side and my Mother side.
We are a part of the Eastern band Cherokee..which lives on the Reservation in North Carolina which we visit every year.
So I dedicate my cook in memory of all those loss on the "Trail of Tears"
I grew up eating lots of corn bread..This particular one reconize as the original recipe of the Cherokee People.
Cherokee Bean Bread
Ingredients:
For my beans,I chose Pinto beans.
Cooked 300* for 2 hours.
Now time to mix Dry ingredients.
Then add all wet ingredients in the dry ingredients
Once my beans were done.I drained and folded them in.
Then pour in a lightly greased dish
Put on the grill with a temp of 425*
for 35 mintes or so
This is my plated shot:
* cherokee didnt add salt.so I stuck to recipe. .we had gravy with this and the gravy was a bit salty..so it work great..but if no gravy..may want to add some salt.
*Note: if adding salt..Dont omit egg or it will fall apart.
Thanks for looking
