It’s a delicious cuisine.
Hominy is great with breakfast, too - just fry it up in the grease from your bacon or sausage.
Plain old pork lard, Manteca in Spanish.
Yummo
Do you buy hominy in cans, or does it come in other forms as well? The recipes I saw all said use the cans; the quality is good.
Bacon grease, there’s a possible thread topic. We get our bacon from a local butcher/slaughterhouse/meat market. They buy a ton of 4h animals and do all their own smoking. Great smoked ham hocks and bacon. I save a lot, not all, of the grease, sometimes in ice cube trays. Then after freezing put them in a ziploc. Quick bacon grease when you don’t feel like bacon. We get the freeze dried hashbrowns in the little milk cartons from Costco. Great with bacon grease, salt 7 pepper and we like dried onion bits.
