MOHAWK Kanataonesterokhonwe (the real [corn] bread) with meat. Serves??

Cannonballs was my ma-in-law's pumpernickel -- these babies are nukes. Goes

with meat, cuz you run out and clobber a cow with one of 'em!

FLASH UPDATE 1/2/97: Russ reports he forgot to include 2 cups of Oatmeal and

claims they won't be cannonballs or nukes if that's added>. I guess the oatmeal

gets added to the flour and cornmeal before the boiling water.

Hello Paula

Here is a good recipe...

Kanataonesterokhonwe (the real [corn] bread)

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

beans in large bowl. (10 cornbreads)

Meanwhile you have boiled several gallons of water in a huge pot - likely your

biggest one - or else this recipe won't work.

Scoop boiling water into the meal and mix until you get a very thick dough, very

hot and sticky - but real nice and solid - no whimpy dough here...

Now - this is why only Mohawk Women can do this right...scoop up a handfull of

the hot mix (keep the screaming down - it is not traditional) and using both hands,

pat into a ball about the size of a softball and flatten it out just a bit, dropping it into

the boiling water - when it floats, it's done and scoop them out as they get cooked.

Put it in a bowl or something - it will drain a bit.

While that's hot, you have braised (that's pan fried to you Lakota) a large/huge slab

of red meat in a giant skillet with lots of salt and pepper then made a gallon of hot

gravy from the drippings.

[PG Note: The slab of meat was obtained by running through the forest and/or

neighbor pasture and clobbering a large animal betwen the eyes with one of the

cornbreads. A large bear might require several clobberings. A very healthful
