BAKED HOMINY WITH CHEESE



Baked Hominy With Cheese image

The taste and texture of this dish is subtle and unusual but my BF and I think it's absolutely delicious. My apologies if you haven't found this as appealing as we do. The recipe comes from a fantastic cookbook of the midwestern region (of the U.S.) called "Hollyhocks and Radishes." The original ingredients call for 2 cups cream instead of milk and twice the butter, so if you don't mind the extra fat, go ahead. I also like to add more horseradish, at least 1 tablespoon. In my area hominy can be found in the mexican foods section of the supermarket.

  • Use a variety of cheeses: You can use any type of cheese you like in this recipe. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, and Pepper Jack are all good choices. You can also use a combination of different cheeses.
  • Add some spice: If you like your food spicy, you can add some diced jalapeños or chili powder to this recipe. You can also add some cumin or paprika for a smoky flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This dish is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and diced tomatoes.
