There’s something very comforting about a steaming bowl of pozole, the tender cubes of pork adrift in a broth that sings with just-right spiciness. The stew-like concoction is loaded with hominy. In the translation from Spanish, “pozole” means hominy.
Hominy is the name given to whole corn kernels that have been cooked in a lye or lime solution to remove their thick hulls. Their puffy texture is creamy tender, their flavor filled with corn personality.
Purists insist dried hominy be cooked from scratch, but in these times I’m happy to open a couple of cans of cooked kernels. The garnishes lend fresh flavors that add pleasing pizzazz to the dish.
