Cherokee Bean Bread

[skreef]

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

That looks awesome skreef, my family being from Kentucky, there's not much they love better than pinto beans and cornbread and now you have shared the option of having them in one dish! This is another of your recipes I will try.

skreef,

 

How touching, thank you Andrew Jackson for the 'Trail of Tears" (please pick up on my sarcasm),  I am part Seneca, the only dish I would have to pass along is succotash, which I will do and post. Thank you for this dish and sharing your proud heritage.
