BETTER BRUNCH SCRAPLESS SCRAPPLE
1 quart water
10 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
3/4 teaspoon dirty spice mix (recipe follows)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cups cornmeal
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/3 cups frozen corn kernels
1 1/3 cups canned black beans, drained and rinsed
Bring to a boil water, butter, salt, pepper, spice mix and garlic.
Whisk in cornmeal until thickened, 3 minutes. Reduce heat immediately or it will spatter dangerously. When cornmeal is porridge thick, whisk in cheese.
Remove from heat, switch to a heavy wooden spoon and stir in corn and beans.
Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Pack in the scrapple. Smooth the top. Refrigerate overnight.
Unmold scrapple by running a spatula around the edges. Invert onto a cutting board. Cut into slices 3/4-inch thick. Crisp the slices in a lightly oiled nonstick pan until golden on both sides. Warning: The corn may pop, and scorch the unprotected hand.
Scrapple makes an excellent breakfast alongside poached eggs and spicy sausage. Or a nice lunch with stewed vegetables. Or a fine snack, solo.
DIRTY SPICE MIX
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat and toast paprika, cumin, thyme and oregano. Mix in remaining ingredients. Store in tightly covered container.
