Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound whole dried corn (hominy)
Water
1 tablespoon ground dried red chilies or salt-free chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of cinnamon
2 cups chicken stock
Salt

Steps:

  • Place the dried corn in a large bowl, cover with six cups water and set aside to soak overnight.
  • Early the next day, or at least four hours before serving, drain the corn, place it in a three- to four-quart saucepan and add six cups water. Bring to a simmer and stir in the dried chilies or chili powder, oregano and cinnamon. Simmer uncovered about two and a half hours, until the corn is fairly tender. If necessary, add more water during cooking. At end of cooking period, the mixture should be quite moist but not soupy.
  • Add the chicken stock, bring to a simmer, season to taste with salt and cook another 30 minutes. By this time the corn should be barely covered with liquid. Allow it to cool uncovered. It will thicken as it cools.
  • Reheat it to serve as a side dish or use it to make a casserole. Refrigerate any unused cooked hominy and use within a day or freeze it for future use. Yield: 8 to 12 servings

HOMINY (HOMEMADE)



Hominy (Homemade) image

The prep time is nothing. The long haul comes with all the cooking, rinsing and cooking again and again. I filled my quart jars 1/2 full with the hominy, as it does tend to expand during the processing. Make sure you read the box on how to handle the lye safely.

Yield 8-10 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 quarts dry field corn
8 quarts water
2 ounces lye
salt

  • Add water to cover hominy about 1 inch and boil 5 minutes; change water.
