How is hominy made and what is the traditional process involved in its preparation?
Hominy is made by soaking dried corn kernels in an alkaline solution, usually made from lye or lime. This process, known as nixtamalization, helps remove the hull and germ of the corn, making it easier to digest and increasing its nutritional value. After soaking, the corn is washed and then cooked until it becomes soft and swollen. The traditional process of preparing hominy involves grinding or pounding the kernels into a dough-like consistency, which can then be used in various dishes like pozole or grits.
