Kenuchi AKA ganatsi ᎦᎾᏥ

Cherokee hickory soup: shell hickory nuts and form into a paste, making a palm-sized ball. Simmer in water until it has a creamy texture. Add hominy (sweet potatoes or rice can be substituted). Add honey/maple syrup for a sweet treat—or add meat, onions, mushrooms for a soup.

Cherokees often substitute Se-di ᏎᏗ black walnuts, pecans are also an option.
