Special menu created for Red Earth
An expanded menu of American Indian foods will be among the changes at the 23rd Annual Red Earth Native American Cultural Festival.
The event is today-Sunday at the Cox Convention Center. Festival organizers have worked with Andrew Murin, executive chef of the venue’s Savor Catering by SMG, to create a special Red Earth menu.
Along with the usual festival foods and beverages, Murin has developed signature dishes that will be served in the 3 Sisters Cafe at Red Earth.
“There is a new emphasis on food this year,” said Red Earth Deputy Director Eric Oesch. “There will be several different Native American foods available in addition to Indian tacos.”
The menu includes roasted whole ears of corn; posole, a spicy, ceremonial corn stew; and a sweet potato sundae with fried sweet potato strips, caramel and whipped topping. Buffalo blue corn pone will incorporate ground buffalo, vegetables and beans with corn pone, or corncakes.
Prices will range from $4-7.
