Pain de courge des Mohicans
Préparation: 15 minutes
Cuisson: 30 + 50 minutes
Coût: économique
Difficulté: facile
Que mangeaient les Indiens Mohicans? Le dernier des Mohicans immortalisé par James Fenimore Cooper a-t-il emporté avec lui le secret des recettes de son peuple? Non, MSCOMM a retracé pour vous la recette du pain de courge en le modernisant pour une plus simple application.
Ingrédients
375 ml de chair de citrouille et de courge banana (moitié-moitié) 60 ml d'huile de tournesol 375 ml de farine tout usage 1 c. à s. de poudre à pâte 2 blancs d'oeufs battus 125 ml de mélasse 125 ml de sirop d'érable 60 ml de sucre brun 1/4 t. de noisettes concassées 1 c. à s. de beurre mou
Préparation mettre les cubes de chair de citrouille et de courge dans une casserole; recouvrir d'eau et laisser bouillir 30 min. environ ou jusqu'à ce que la pulpe soit cuite et tendre; égoutter; verser la pulpe dans un mélangeur avec l'huile de tournesol, le sirop et la mélasse; ajouter tous les autres ingrédients peu à peu en ajoutant les noisettes en dernier; beurrer un moule à pain; verser l'appareil dans le moule; enfourner dans un four préchauffé à 350° F. (180° C) pour 50 min. environ où jusqu'à ce que la lame d'un couteau piqué au centre du pain ressorte propre. laisser tiédir ou refroidir avant de couper. Bannique Provenance: Ginette Gourmande, La Tuque Commentaires: Pain amérindien 6 tasses [1 1/2 L] de farine 2 c. à table [30 mL] de poudre à pâte 1 c. à thé [5 mL] de sel 2 tasses [500 mL] d'eau froide Raisins Secs Dans un grand bol, mélanger ensemble la farine, la poudre à pâte et le sel. Faire un puits au centre de la farine, verser l'eau et brasser le tout en prenant bien soin de prendre un peu de farine à chaque tour. Quant la pâte commence à être difficile à travailler avec la cuillère, la pétrir avec les mains, en prenant soin de s'enfariner les doigts et en saupoudrant un peu de farine sur la pâte jusqu'à ce que toute la farine soit épuisée. Façonner ensuite en boule, la couper en deux et déposer les deux [2] boules sur une tôle graissée et enfarinée. Faire une légère pression du bout des doigts pour abaisser les pâtes quelque peu. Cuisson: Cuire au four à 400°F [205°C] de 20 à 25 minutes. Servir chaud, pour plus de saveur. Pour réchauffer le pain, couper en tranches et mettre au four micro-ondes pendant 45 secondes.

Bonjour Michel
il existe un très beau livre sur le pain :
"pains du monde à faire soi-même" de Christine Ingram et Jennie Shapter. il est paru en septembre 2005, est très gros et a des photos magnifiques, des histoires, etc.
j'adore les livres de cuisine, surtout ceux qui mettent l'eau à la bouche ; celui-là en fait partie 🙂
bonne fête du pain (ça doit être super de goûter tant de sortes de pains en une fois 😎)
ANITAH
I’m from West Africa and I’d love to introduce a Russian friend to a traditional product from my region: soumbara.
For those who don’t know, soumbara is a condiment made from fermented néré seeds. It has a pretty distinctive smell and a very strong, salty, fermented, umami-rich flavor. In West Africa, we mainly use it to add flavor to sauces, with rice, vegetables, meat, etc.
I’m curious to know, from Russian cuisine lovers: which traditional Russian dish do you think soumbara would pair particularly well with?
I’m looking for a real Russian dish where the combination could be interesting—not just rice or an adapted African dish.
Hi there, we’re heading to Cagliari for one night in April, staying at a hotel without a restaurant. Would you happen to know of a restaurant near Via Giuseppe Garibaldi for a typical dinner that’s not too pricey? Thanks.
I’m looking for typical Catalan restaurants in Barcelona! Any suggestions for areas or little hidden spots?
I know to avoid places like La Rambla, the beachfront restaurants in Barceloneta, and anywhere where they greet you with a menu asking if you want to eat, but are there any specific restaurants to avoid? Any bad experiences or unpleasant surprises?
I’m heading to Barcelona in early May—it’s my first time there. I’d love to hear your suggestions for restaurants (ideally near the tourist center, Las Ramblas). That said, I’m happy to travel if needed. I’m looking for a place renowned for its gastronomy, a spot serving typical Spanish or Catalan food, or somewhere with a unique vibe you wouldn’t normally find... In short, which restaurant did you love most during your stay in Barcelona?
Maybe you already use it in your recipes? Just to let you know that here in Quebec, the maple water harvest has started in several regions. The next step will be to boil this water to turn it into syrup. A sweet nectar, it works well in salad dressings, desserts, with salmon, and more. 😋
If you ever pass through here, don’t miss the chance to visit one of our wonderful sugar shacks. You can taste maple taffy on snow, among other things. 😄
Do you drink wine with your meal, and how often—every day, just on weekends, or only occasionally for special events?
What are your favorite wines, from which country, and what grape variety?
I drink wine with my evening meal every day. I’m particularly fond of wines from Australia and Spain—I really like grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
Leaving in 15 days for Brittany, specifically the southern Finistère and Bénodet...
Tourists expected to boost the culinary restaurant industry!
Haven’t read the guide for latecomers yet, and I’m really wary of online reviews.
Where can I eat without getting ripped off, enjoy quality food—crêperies, seafood, nice atmosphere...
Thanks to all you savvy foodies!
The title might surprise you, but you’ll understand my point of view.
1/ MEAL STRUCTURE
I’m talking about the standard meal, not the one for those who have to budget for financial reasons (generally fewer in northern and central Italy than in France, but more in the south, which makes up 35% of Italy—Eurostat figures), nor for those (mostly women) watching their figure.
The tradition (once the meal of the well-off, widespread among the general population in the 1950s) starts with soup or pasta (or rice, gnocchi, ravioli, lasagna)—this is the *primo piatto*.
Next comes meat or another animal-based product (fish, cured meats, eggs, etc.)—the *secondo piatto*, which can be replaced by cooked vegetables (the only known example in France: eggplant parmesan).
If the meat dish doesn’t already include vegetables, one is served. Salads, whether green or tomato-based, are side dishes, not starters.
The meal ends with dessert—no difference from French habits: cheese, fruit, or sweets.
*Antipasti* (appetizers) are reserved for festive meals or receptions and are served *in addition* to the main courses at the start.
4 practices unknown in France:
- If the menu includes pasta and ham, you start with the pasta.
- If the menu includes pasta with a meat sauce and fish, you start with the pasta too.
- Pasta is never a side dish for meat.
- It’s not unusual for Italians to start with pasta in a meat sauce and then have a meat dish—most do this several times a week.
Modern adaptations:
- People eat pasta less often (on average 5 times a week, according to recent figures) and soups, which are being replaced by *antipasti*.
- The main meal is now mostly dinner, so it’s much heartier, while lunch isn’t usually eaten at home.
2/ THE CUISINE
What do we know in France? Pizza, pasta Bolognese, carbonara, arrabbiata, ravioli, and lasagna. Fried scampi, Milanese or Bolognese cutlets, carpaccio, and finally tiramisu.
In short, a few basic dishes, but nothing of the gastronomy—whether regional traditions or high-end restaurants.
2 anecdotes:
**Bolognese sauce**
In Italy, the most common homemade sauce is a meat-and-tomato-based sauce called *ragù* (pronounced *ragoo*). Every region, even every town and family, as well as every restaurant, has its own recipe. *Ragù alla bolognese* is just one of these countless *ragù*—and no one in France knows the real recipe (I can share it with those interested). The name *bolognese* given abroad to any *ragù* comes from a canned sauce manufacturer who once branded their product that way. Until the early 1960s, it was called *sauce à la viande* (meat sauce).
**Pizza**
Before World War II, it was practically unknown north of Rome.
Today, Italy is one of the countries where it’s eaten the least (twice as much in France, four times as much in Germany).
Top 15 Brazilian eating habits that surprise the French 😮
Brazil is a multicultural country, and its history has shaped a very unique cuisine, influenced by European, African, Japanese, and Indigenous traditions. Its food culture is quite different from what we’re used to in France, and Brazilian eating habits often surprise French travelers exploring the land of samba and soccer.
