Hominy Corn And Poblano Chiles Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN CORN AND HOMINY SAUTE (WW CORE)

Steps:

• Remove the frozen corn from the freezer to begin defrosting.
• To prepare the Poblano chiles, place them directly over gas flame on your stove. Allow the skin to char and blister before turning using long tongs (or well padded fingers). Once all sides are charred, about five minutes, toss the peppers in a resealable bag and close. Set aside about ten minutes to allow the heat to steam the chiles. Once cooled, peel and seed the peppers, and give them rough chop.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for two or three minutes until the onions are tender. Stir in the garlic, cumin and epazote/oregano and continue to cook another 30 seconds.
• Add in the corn and hominy, stirring occasionally, and cook for two minutes. Stir in the Poblanos and salt to taste. Cook an additional two or three minutes until the everything is heated through.
• Remove from heat and mix in the cilantro and lime juice.
• Serve with lime wedges.

HOMINY CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl combine hominy, sour cream, green chilis and Monterey Jack cheese. Spread evenly into a 2 quart casserole dish. Top with Parmesan Cheese.
• Bake for 1 hour or until golden and bubbly.

HOMINY, CORN, AND POBLANO CHILES

CREAMY STOVETOP CORN WITH POBLANO CHILES

Steps:

• Add the corn kernels and poblano strips, season again and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is cooked and tender, about 5 minutes.

BROTHY CHICKEN SOUP WITH HOMINY AND POBLANO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion and poblano and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened without taking on any color, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic and spices are fragrant, about 1 minute more. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Add the stock and chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook until the chicken has cooked through and is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat.
• Add the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the hominy and allow everything to simmer together for 5 to 10 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Ladle into soup bowls. Serve with limes, for squeezing on top, and bowls of optional garnishes.
