A suitable substitute for hominy in a traditional pozole recipe is white or yellow corn kernels.
Traditional ingredients used in making pozole include corn, typically in the form of hominy, as well as pork or chicken, chilies, garlic, and various herbs and spices.
Traditional ingredients in pozole include pork, hominy (dried corn kernels), chilies, garlic, and various spices. Corn is incorporated into pozole by using hominy, which is a type of corn that has been treated with an alkali solution to remove the hull and germ, resulting in a larger, softer kernel that is commonly used in Mexican cuisine.
pork meat / usually the shoulder .. then Hominy.
Mexican pork and hominy stew is Pazole from Mexico
It can be translated as pan de maíz (literally, "corn bread").
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.
It is a traditional pre-Mexican soup or stew made from hominy, with pork (or other meat), chile, and other seasonings and garnish, such as cabbage, lettuce, oregano, cilantro, avocado, radish, and lime juice.you can add to garnishes as tostadas chicharron and tortillas
To make pozole in a pressure cooker, combine pork, hominy, onions, garlic, chili peppers, and broth. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, then release pressure naturally. Serve with toppings like radishes, cabbage, and lime.
Some traditional Mexican breakfast names include chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, tamales, and pozole.
Hominy or nixtamal is dried maize (corn) kernels which have been treated with an alkali. The traditional U.S. version involves soaking dried corn in lye-water (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solution), traditionally derived from wood ash, until the hulls are removed. Mexican recipes describe a preparation process consisting primarily of cooking in lime-water (calcium hydroxide). In either case, the process is called nixtamalization, and removes the germ and the hard outer hull from the kernels, making them more palatable, easier to digest, and easier to process. Commercially available canned hominy may have a slightly stronger scent when compared to the traditional preparation. The earliest known usage of nixtamalization was in what is present-day Guatemala around 1500-1200 BC. It affords several significant nutritional advantages over untreated maize products. It converts some of the niacin (and possibly other B vitamins) into a form more absorbable by the body, improves the availability of the amino acids, and (at least in the lime-treated variant) supplements the calcium content, balancing maize's comparative excess of phosphorus. Many Native American cultures made hominy and integrated it into their diet. Cherokees, for example, made hominy grits by soaking corn in lye and beating it with a kanona (corn beater). The grits were used to make a traditional hominy soup (called Gv-No-He-Nv A-Ma-Gi-i), a hominy soup that was allowed to ferment (Gv-Wi Si-Da A-Ma-Gi-i), cornbread, dumplings (Di-Gu-Nv-i) or fried with bacon and green onions. Some recipes using hominy include menudo (a spicy tripe and hominy soup), pozole (a stew of hominy and pork, chicken, prawns, or other meat), hominy bread, hominy chili, casseroles and fried dishes. Hominy can be ground coarsely to make hominy grits, or into a fine mash (dough) to make masa, the dough used to make tamales. Rockihominy, a popular trail food in the 19th & early 20th centuries, is dried corn roasted to a golden brown, then ground to a very coarse meal, almost like hominy grits. Hominy can also be used as animal feed.
