Native American Hopi Blue Corn Mush "Savory Way"

Description
If this is to be eaten as a savory, sprinkle a little red chili or paprika on top just before serving. This is cooked like cornmeal mush, molded in a bread pan, and then sliced and fried. It is delicious with a clear corn flavor and odd purple-blue color. It's good with eggs and bacon, or with butter.

Ingredients

 * 1 qt water
 * 1½ cup blue cornmeal
 * salt
 * oil for frying

Directions

 * 1) Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, add salt to taste, and whisk in the cornmeal.
 * 2) Lower the heat and stir the cornmeal for 10 minutes or until it tastes done.
 * 3) The coarser the meal, the longer it will take.
 * 4) Pour the cooked cereal onto a cookie sheet or into a bread pan and set it aside to cool for an hour or so or until firm.
 * 5) Once it has cooled, slice it into pieces for frying.
 * 6) Fry the slices in butter or oil in a nonstick pan until lightly crisped on both sides.
