COYOTES BLUE (OR YELLOW) CORNMEAL BREAD



Coyotes Blue (Or Yellow) Cornmeal Bread image

This sweet, and very moist cornbread is served at Coyotes Deli & Grill in Banff and the recipe was printed in Bon Appétit (Nov. 2001). Pine nuts add a surprisingly delicious element. The blue cornmeal makes for a beautiful presentation but it tastes just as delicious with yellow. Toast pinenuts on a cookie sheet at 350°F for 5 minutes. Best served warm. Leftovers, if you have any, make an awesome twist on French toast.
