Creamed Hominy
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 1/2 yellow pepper finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
  • 3 16- ounce cans hominy drained (white or yellow)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe rondeau. Add in the onions and bell pepper and cook until softened. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute more. Add in the chile powder and cook for another minute. Add in the hominy and stir until combined. Pour in the chicken stock and add in the thyme; simmer until reduced slightly.
  3. Add in the cream and bring to just a simmer. Stir in the cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir in the milk. Cover pan and bake for about 20 minutes, stirring a couple of times during baking, until the baked hominy is hot and mixture is bubbling.
  4. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve.
