In Purrsuit of Flavors

I thank Da Phenny and Chef Shoko for 
hosting.
This month we are featuring
TUMMY WARMERS


Today I'd like to share two loved and tried and true recipes with you.

Kitty Wells Spanish Bean Soup and homemade cornbread





Kitty Wells’ Spanish Bean Soup **

4 cans garbanzo beans (we use Navy or Great Northern) rinsed and drained. 
First time I made it I used garbanzo. We didn’t like the consistency they are kinda hard.  I now only use Navy or G. Northern.
1 medium onion chopped
1 package of Polish kielbasa, I use Healthy Choice Turkey sausage
3 or 4 medium potatoes chopped
44 oz diced tomatoes.
Salt and pepper to tasted

Directions:
Her recipe is in a 4 qt pot on stove top.  I used crock pot
I put ingredients in as follows:
Kielbasa, potatoes, and onions followed by tomatoes
After all ingredients are in in qt pot or cp, add water to cover all the ingredients and fill the pot.
If on the stove top bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer on low heat for 1 hour or until potatoes are done
If in crock pot, I cook on high for 1 hour.  Stir  to mix after an hour on high, then switch to low for 4 to 4  ½ hours, check potatoes. 

MADI’S MOM’S MARVELOUS CORNBREAD
(this recipe was in my head only, until my SIL asked me
to write it down so they could make it at home)

  
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup self-rising yellow or white cornmeal (I use House of Autry)
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup plus 1 ½ tablespoons buttermilk (this is the secret ingredient)
PAM baking spray
1-8” Pyrex pie dish (or whatever you have close to this size)


Mixing Directions:  Preheat oven to 400 degrees
In a medium bowl, crack egg then beat lightly. Add oil, and buttermilk to egg. Stir until mixed.  Add cornmeal and sugar.  Stir until completely mixed.

Cooking: Spray entire baking dish with PAM, pour cornmeal mixture into baking dish.  Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until light brown on the bottom and the sides of the baking bread pull away from side of dish.  You may also test with at cake tester in the middle.  Tester should come out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes before cutting.  I cut it into
8 slices like a pie.  Serve with butter.   If there are leftovers, you can warm in microwave for about 15 or 20 seconds.

Served hot with butter or as Sis of Madi likes it as dessert with honey drizzled over it.

** Kitty Wells was a very famous country singer from back in the '60's.  I found this recipe in
Country Weekly Magazine (kinda like People Magazine) many years ago.
