Expert Tips

Vegetables offer a host of nutrients including vitamins A, C and folate to name a few. Be sure to get at least 3 to 5 servings of veggies daily.

Hominy is dried white or yellow corn kernels from which the hull and germ have been removed. This corn was one of the first foods the American Indians introduced to the colonists. It is often added to soups, stews and casseroles.

Very small red potatoes need only be cut into 1/2-inch wedges.

This was awesome! The only thing I did different was let the pork stew for about an hour before adding the hominy and corn. It was by far one of my favorites. I will definately make this one again.

I doubled the recipe and good thing because it was so yummy most of it was gobbled up and I have enough for today's lunch. You could smell the wonderful aroma while walking up to the front door. Great recipe to have simmering on the stove top when showing off your house that is up for sale.

Have to give this a five. The family gave me the thumbs up to add it to my repertoire. It's got a great flavor, is hearty and healthy, and quite easy. Brought some in to work and got raves here as well. Serve with a salad and a loaf of good bread! And don't forget the cilantro.
