Texans provide recipes
Along with in oil wells, the state
o f Texas is rich in black history.
Among the first Europeans to ex
plore the area in 1330 was black
slave Estevanico Searching for gold
he went on to discover the Oreat
Zuni Pueblo o f New Mexico. In
1836 the lone survivor o f a Mexican
siege called the Alam o was a slave
named Joe who reported the inside
story to the Texas army. By 1830,
free black Aaron Ashworth owned
2,730 head o f cattle, the largest herd
in Texas. From explorer to success
ful businessman. Blacks have helped
create the Texas we know today.
And what could be more Texan
than a barbecue, where fam ily and
friends gather before the grill to
enjoy their favorite foods. W ith
more than 300 years to blend the
unique
influences,
the
Texas
barbecue menu combines a dash o f
Mexico and a pinch o f the Old
South with a heaping helping o f
soul.
T o accompany the traditional
beef brisket and ribs black Texans
serve up tasty dishes such as Texican
Salad, second cousin to the taco. It
features ground beef and beans with
lettuce, tomatoes, avocados and
cheese, topped with tortilla chips.
H o t water cornbread, better known
as Hoe Cakes, is another popular
dish finished in a skillet and smoth -
ered with margarine. And no barbe
cue is complete without a sampling
o f Baked Bean Barbecue.
These are just a few o f the recipes
collected in a booklet called The
Heritage o f Black Cooking. The
booklet spotlights the history and
cooking traditions o f black com
munities across America and offers
popular food ideas adapted by the
Kraft Kitchens for convenient con
sumer use.
