leaf bread

December 18th, 2009

You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes leaf bread but it can happen. The key is to not eat leaf bread or other high calorie bread every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat anything – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet food. I have only been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also find it is helpful if you have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Leaf Bread

The Iroquois make this from green corn. It is really more of a vegetable than a bread.

6 ears fresh sweet corn
1 to 3 tablespoons cornmeal (optional)
Salt and ground pepper
Melted butter

Shuck corn, reserving husks. Holding corn cobs upright on end, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut down the middle of each row of kernels. Use the blade in a scraping downward motion to remove corn from cobs. In a blender or food processor, process corn into a paste. If corn seems very liquid, stir in enough cornmeal to make it easier to handle. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.

Rinse reserved husks under cold running water and pat dry. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of corn paste into a large corn husk. Wrap in more husks to completely envelop paste. Tie ends with strips of husk. Continue until all paste is used. Six ears of corn should make 12 to 15 small, tamale-like packages. Steam leaf bread over boiling water for about 45 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly before removing husks. Serve brushed with melted butter.

Serves 4 to 6.
