Tips:
- Choose the right hominy: For this recipe, it's best to use dried hominy that has been soaked overnight. If you're using canned hominy, be sure to rinse it well before using.
- Don't overcook the hominy: Hominy should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked hominy will be mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of chiles: This recipe calls for a combination of ancho, guajillo, and chile de árbol chiles. You can adjust the heat level of the dish by using more or less of the chile de árbol chiles.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add corn, black beans, or zucchini to the dish. You could also use a different type of chile, such as serrano or habanero.
Conclusion:
This hominy with red chiles recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The hominy is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and spicy. Serve this dish with rice, beans, or tortillas.
