ZUNI VEGETABLE STEW WITH NAVAJO FRY BREAD

Zuni Vegetable Stew With Navajo Fry Bread image

The Zuni, a tribe of Pueblo Indians, live in New Mexico. The fresh ingredients that make up this hearty stew (various chiles and squashes, corn and beans) are representative of that region's native bounty. Hot Navajo Fry Breads would be delicious served with this one. Navajo Fry Bread is a Santa Fe specialty that has become popular throughout the Southwest. A hole is always poked through the center of each round of dough so that the bread puffs spectacularly when cooked in hot oil.
