豆洞豆(Bean-Hole Bean)
地方性遗产

什么是豆洞豆(bean-hole bean)?不,它不是中间有一颗洞的豆子。因为他们将豆子放在洞里烘烤,所以才有豆洞豆这个名字。数百年以来,缅因州的皮纳布斯高族印地安人,会在地上挖个洞来煮他们的食物;烹调豆洞豆的第一个工具是一把铲子!

豆洞豆的食谱:

  • 在地上挖一个3英尺深的洞,再把石头排在洞底。

  • 在洞里起火,然后让它烧成一大堆的炭块及灰烬(这个步骤需花费半天的时间,才能储备足够用来煮豆的煤炭)

  • 使用干燥的豆类,如:白豆、黄眼豆(Yellow Eye) 、鳟鱼豆(Jacob's Cattle又名Trout Bean:源自德国的一种甜豆)或红眼豆(全名European Soldier Bean又名Red Eye Bean)

  • 其他的材料包括洋葱、腌猪肉、火腿蹄膀、培根、蕃茄、红糖及糖浆。

将豆子及其他的材料放在一个铁制的锅内,加满水后,将盖子盖上。将锅子放到洞里,盖上一层湿的碗盘毛巾或麻布袋,再用铲子把部分炭块及灰烬移到锅子上,然后再把锅子埋到土里。烹饪时间视所用食谱而略有不同,但最长可耗费16小时,最后,只要一把铲子及碗,就可大快朵颐!


What's a bean-hole bean? No, it's not a bean with a hole in it. Bean-hole beans get their name because they are baked in a hole. For hundreds of years, the Penobscot Indians of Maine cooked their food in a hole in the ground. The first thing you need to cook bean-hole beans is a shovel!

Recipe for bean-hole beans:

  • Dig a hole in the ground 3 feet deep and line it with rocks.
  • Build a fire in the hole and let it burn down to large embers and ash. (This can take half a day before enough coals are produced to cook the beans properly.)
  • Use dry beans such as Great Northern, Yellow Eye, Jacob's Cattle, or Soldier.
  • Other ingredients include onions, salt pork, ham hock, bacon, tomatoes, brown sugar and molasses.

Put the beans and other ingredients in a cast iron pot and cover with water and a lid. Place the pot in the hole, cover with a wet dish towel or burlap sack, shovel some of the embers and ashes on top of the pot, and then cover with dirt. Cooking time varies depending on which recipe is used but it can take as long as 16 hours. Then get ready with a shovel and a bowl!
