Hominy Recipes

A vegetarian version of a great recipe I found online

Cherokee first settled in southeastern North American between A.D. 1000 and 1500. Cherokees referred to themselves as "the Real People" or "the Principal People", which in their language is Ani-yun'wiya' .

I love hominy. When I was a child, I called it harmony. Enjoy!!

Adapted from CL - used real chorizo sausage instead of veggie, updated the heat, and used all dry spices.

This tasty winter recipe with warm your heart without adding padding to your behind. It is rich creamy and full of flavor.

Only 1 Weight Watcher's Point per serving!

Traditional posole with hominy

Yummy, easy, inexpensive chili for a week's worth of dinners!

From "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two" (no tomato or cilantro)

I really like hominy, and this is one of my favorite "brunch" dishes when I have friends over. It is very filling, and staves off the hunger pangs for hours.

I am presenting the pumped-up (fatty) version of the recipe so that people can see what variations I like, but usually I don't include all the fatty ingredients - I'll do the cheese but not the sour cream, or put in two slices of bacon, chopped up, in place of the oil, cheese, sour cream, and chipotles. I'm sure there are many other variations.

This is super quick & easy to make. It's a touch on the spicy side. The aroma is fantastic. To make this a vegetarian dish use vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock.

Great side dish

A hearty Tex-Mex chili without beans, developed because my son has a legume allergy.

Light fresh tasty

Yummy! Like mac and cheese, but toothier and with a little heat from the cayenne.

(adopted from kalynskitchen.com, who adapted it from Pumpkin Chili at Eclectic Recipes.)

Great soup with a touch of heat. Be sure to only use Qty 1 Chipotle chili out of the can and not the entire can

This dish is usually made with pork but just as good with chicken.

Hearty Chili made lean with chicken, and great spice from Jalapenos and Anaheim chilies. This is meant to be a single dish meal. Instead of Chili and Corn bread, this chili incorporated hominy, giving it a slight corn taste, somewhat like eating a Verde Chicken Enchillada.

Use these in place of regular flour dumplings for a healthier, more nutrient rich dumpling. These have a nice texture, not gooey. Very easy to make. Makes about 35 medium. About 6 large servings.
