Navajo Fry Bread

I have been asked to write recipes  for a site and do a weekly posting. So at the same time I will also share that recipe with you my readers. I am doing a tour of our country with food and recipes that I love, have tried, will try or that look really interesting. Some of them will be mine and some of them I will be taking from other sources. So hang on and enjoy the ride.

I am starting from home. What I have called home for the last 3 years. Utah. Its a different culture there. A cross between California food and Western Cowboy food. This recipes is what they call Navajo Fry Bread. In the Midwest is usually known as a carnival food Elephant Ear.  In the picture it is served with a Green Chili and Black bean corn salsa.  If you want the Chili recipe I will ask my fellow chef Trevor to contribute it to the blog.
