Cherokee Bean bread

[Carbon 6]

I came across this video on the interweb about Cherokee bean bread and got excited.



But, my excitement quickly diminished. I was disappointed to see non-traditional ingredients and cooking methods used. A tasting description would have also been nice.

Has anyone ever eaten this, and was steaming used as a cooking method? If so, how was it accomplished?

I think Townsends could do a better job making this.

Comments anyone?

Carbon, this is a new one on me, too. I'm tempted to try it, even with those "modern" ingredients, just to get a sense of flavor and consistency.

Well, looks and cooks like tamales to me. Add the pork and hot sauce to mine before you steam it. Use the beans for refried on the side.

Looks like something I would try, not traditional, but today’s Indian cooking is no more interested in being traditional then New England cooking or Tex mex cooking today is traditional.

The Tamale came to my mind also.

I did come across this article that seems to answer some of my questions.

Making me hungry. I could eat at least 10 of those. Bring out a platter and a cold beer, please.
