Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Butter, for greasing the pan
8 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
One 30-ounce can hominy, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup half-and-half
Hot sauce, to taste
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. In the bacon fat, cook the onion and pepper until just starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the hominy, half-and-half and hot sauce.

SKILLET SUMMER SQUASH



Skillet Summer Squash image

The good old-fashioned country way. This is definitely NOT diet food. You don't drain the bacon fat off after you brown it. If you really have to, you can substitute butter, but it won't be the same. You can also use this recipe with a combination of yellow and pattypan squash.

THREE SISTERS BOWL WITH HOMINY, BEANS AND SQUASH



Three Sisters Bowl With Hominy, Beans and Squash image

There are quite a few legends within various Indigenous communities involving the three sisters: corn, bean and squash. The ancient and advanced farming techniques from the Cherokee and so many other tribes throughout the East Coast yielded countless strains of these ingredients, in many sizes, colors and flavors. These diverse seeds are not only a direct connection to the past, but a symbol of resistance to the destruction of our cultures. This recipe showcases the simplicity of these flavors and can stand alone as a vegan meal or can accompany bison pot roast, roast turkey or salmon with crushed blackberries.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup dried hominy
1/2 cup dried brown tepary beans
1 small, unpeeled acorn squash (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved, seeds and membranes scraped away, then cut into 1-inch chunks
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
Coarse sea salt
1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon New Mexico Hatch chile powder or any mild smoked red chile powder
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
Smoked sea salt
1/2 cup chopped dark greens, such as dandelion greens, kale or spinach

Steps:

  • Place the hominy and tepary beans in separate medium bowls. Add enough water to each to cover the beans by 4 inches, and soak overnight at room temperature.
  • About 3 hours before serving, drain the hominy and the beans and place them in separate 3- to 4-quart pots. Add enough cool water to cover the hominy and tepary beans by 4 inches. Set each over high heat, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally and skimming any foam that rises to the surface, until tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Reserve 2/3 cup of the cooking liquid from each type of beans (for 1 1/3 cups liquid). Drain the hominy and the beans and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the squash: Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of coarse sea salt. Arrange the squash in an even layer and roast until golden and very tender, stirring halfway through, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add the onion, chile powder, sage and a generous pinch of smoked salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the reserved 1 1/3 cups cooking liquid and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the cooked hominy and beans to the skillet, then stir in the roasted squash and greens. Season to taste with coarse sea salt and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe vegetables. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If the vegetables are too crowded, they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat. This will help them brown and develop flavor.
  • Stir the vegetables frequently. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season the vegetables to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
