HOMINY WITH RED CHILIES

Steps:

• Place the dried corn in a large bowl, cover with six cups water and set aside to soak overnight.
• Early the next day, or at least four hours before serving, drain the corn, place it in a three- to four-quart saucepan and add six cups water. Bring to a simmer and stir in the dried chilies or chili powder, oregano and cinnamon. Simmer uncovered about two and a half hours, until the corn is fairly tender. If necessary, add more water during cooking. At end of cooking period, the mixture should be quite moist but not soupy.
• Add the chicken stock, bring to a simmer, season to taste with salt and cook another 30 minutes. By this time the corn should be barely covered with liquid. Allow it to cool uncovered. It will thicken as it cools.
• Reheat it to serve as a side dish or use it to make a casserole. Refrigerate any unused cooked hominy and use within a day or freeze it for future use. Yield: 8 to 12 servings

BAKED HOMINY CASSEROLE WITH CHILIES AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Grease an eight-quart oven-proof casserole. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat the oil or fat in a heavy four-quart saucepan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat until golden. Stir in the jalapeno peppers and the cumin and saute another few minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook five minutes longer. Add the chicken and bring to a simmer.
• Stir in cooked hominy with red chilies and cook till mixture simmers again. Season to taste with salt.
• Spoon the mixture into the casserole. Top with the cheese. Bake in the oven about 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese has melted and is beginning to brown. Serve at once. If desired, the casserole can be prepared in advance and set aside to be baked later. If it is not simmering just before being put in the oven, increase the baking time to about 45 minutes.

FRIED HOMINY

Steps:

• Drain hominy and combine in a stockpot with onion, garlic, carrot, bay leaves, thyme and water to cover. Cook 1 to 11/2 hours, until kernels are tender and just beginning to split. Season with salt to taste. Let sit for 1/2 hour, then strain and remove vegetables. Continue to strain as kernels cool; hominy can be refrigerated at this point for up to 2 days.
• Mix together remaining dry ingredients with about 1/2 tablespoon salt; taste and adjust seasoning.
• Make sure kernels are as dry as possible. Place oil in deep pot and heat to 375 degrees. Pour hominy into pot, in batches if necessary. If oil spatters, partially cover pot. Fry, stirring occasionally, until kernels begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then toss with salt and spice mix. Serve with lime wedges.
