This recipe is from a book in my collection - of authentic recipes, 'Best of the Best from Iowa', Selected Recipes from Iowa's Favourite Cookbooks. (IOWA is one of the major corn-growing states of the USA.)
CHIVE AND BLACK PEPPER CORNBREAD
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal 3/4 cup flour 1 Tbs sugar 1& 1/2 tsp cream of tartar 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup plain yoghurt or sour cream half-and-half 1/4 cup fresh snipped chives 3 Tbs unsalted butter, melted 2 Tbs milk 1 egg, beaten to blend
Preheat oven to 425*F.Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl.Whisk remaining ingredients in another bowl to blend.Make a well in the center of dry ingredients, add sour cream mixture and stir until just blended.Spoon batter into 8- or 9-inch greased pan.Bake until bread is golden and pulls away from the sides of the pan (approximately 20 minutes).Makes 9 pieces.Can be frozen.
NOTE:I have kept US spelling and measurements for authenticity :)While this does not have chilli, I am sure you could add it to get the combination of flavours you are looking for.

I would love to try this, what do you recommend to have with it?

Cornbread is usually served on the 'mains' plate, but there's no reason why you couldn't just 'snack' on it!(It has a satisfying crunchy texture from the coarse-ground cornmeal).

PS The cornbread is cut into squares or wedges, not slices.

Thanks elliehen, might try it with chillie con carne or something similar.The last time I looked in p n' s for cornmeal I could not find it, so this time I will try New World.

Thanks for returning :)I realised that I didn't fully answer this question.Yes, any kind of 'stew' would be a good accompaniment.I like it with a spicy mixed bean winter hotpot.

Another PS!You should be able to find cornmeal in the baking aisle, but it will also be in 'organics'.I've bought it in more than one kind of packaging.Make sure you buy the coarse yellow cornmeal for this recipe and not the finely ground whiter one.
