Native Recipes

Here are some notable Native American and Indigenous recipes that you can try:

Navajo Fry Bread: Native American fry bread is a traditional dish that has been passed down through generations and is enjoyed in many Native American communities. Tender and fluffy Navajo fry bread! As far as I know, this is the original recipe for Navajo bread. It tastes great with honey and butter. The Navajo put chiles, cheese, onion, lettuce, and beans on them, and call them Nava tacos.

Ingredients

Original recipe yields 18 servings

2 cups oil for frying
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 ½ cups warm milk

Directions

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; mix in milk to form a soft dough. Divide dough into eighteen 2-inch diameter balls; flatten or roll each ball into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Make a small hole in the center of each round to help keep them flat while frying.
Lower dough rounds, about 3 or 4 at a time, carefully into hot oil. Fry until rounds have bubbles on the surface and are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.

Three Sisters Soup: This hearty soup uses corn, beans, and squash, which were staples in many Native American diets. It's nutritious and easy to adapt with canned ingredients for a quicker preparation.
