I tried making posole out of blue corn and it took almost 3 days off and on to soften and when I make the white corn it only takes overnight,has anyone else tried the blue corn for posole.
I made some blue corn pancakes and they were great,I got the mix from Smiths, the mix was from some company I think in Santa Fe, I could be wrong, when I was in Farmington the lady I knew made me blue corn cakes,they were kinda like flat corn bread,I guess its what the Navajos make,it was the first time Ive ever seen that.
What about Fried bread any recipes for that,Ive tried em at the state fair but they are even better when there fresh off the navajo rez.

All of these are included in New Mexican food.
I love fried cornbread.
mix a batch of your favorite corn bread, add 1/2 - 3/4 cup additional liquid.
Using a cast iron skillet or griddle,pour as if you were making pancakes.
they are good with stews, soups, also good with syrup. You can also cook them using a waffle iron.

I have a fried bread recipe that I copied from the Albuquerque newspaper years and years ago when we lived there. I have been making this recipe since 1970 .... it's easy and my whole family loves it.
Navajo Fried Bread
4 cups flour
4 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
water
Mix all the dry ingredients together
Add water gradually until you get a soft dough that is not too sticky to handle (but not real stiff either).
Divide into 8 pieces of equal size.
Pat out on a lightly floured surface (or between your hands) into round shapes 6 inches by 1/4 inches. Poke a hole in the center to allow the oil to fry the center. (You don't want it to puff up like sopapillas.)
Fry in hot lard (I use cooking oil) and flip once until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Eat while hot. Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. YUMMMMM.
**********
*This recipe is easy to double or to halve.
**The recipe in the newspaper called this bread "Dah Diniilghaazh". I don't know if that is a correct name or not.
I will post one soon. CrackerJack, check out my post re living in Grants.
We have been here for a while now and are building down by Fence Lake.
Love the area.
A couple good little restaurants here: La Ventana, and First Street Cafe.

oh, went to the Chile festival in Hatch, great time..
I am a seventh generation native Santa Fean having made the biggest mistake of my life moving to Texas! Currently I live in Midlothian, about 25 miles south of Dallas, and have been unable to find any Bueno products especially posole. Any suggestions? Is there a chain that sells it? I'll take fresh or dry I am so desperate.
Thanks!

Reason: Bad grammar!
Anyone? Any word on where I might find chili in the DFW metroplex area? Dried or fresh. Please help, I want to serve on Christmas Eve as is traditional. Thanks.
I am not in the DFW area, but I visit my daughter down there several times a year. I think I have seen Bueno Products at Central Market, but it may have been some time ago. Maybe you could call them and see if they have it.
