Black Bean and Hominy Stew image

Mexican-oid comfort food for a chilly autumn evening. Found this with a google search for other uses for hominy than posole (my fave!). The chipotle pepper gives a wonderful flavor but not much heat; I'd add a little cayenne next time, but that's a personal thing.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 lb smoked ham, sliced 1/2 inch thick and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can hominy, drained
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until the vegetables are just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ham, cumin, coriander and chipotle and cook until the ham is lightly browned, about 3 minutes longer. Add the black beans, hominy and stock and bring to a boil. Simmer the stew over moderate heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cilantro and season the stew with salt and pepper. Spoon the stew into deep bowls, sprinkle with the Cheddar and serve.
