ADDED. HOMINY Hominy is an essential ingredient in Mexican
cooking. You may find it either as a side dish or as an integral
part of the main dish, such as Menudo or Pozole. Hominy is made
from the pre-Hispanic Aztec staple, corn. The corn is dried and
then boiled and soaked in lime until it is moist and plump. The
lime allows the corn to keep a firmer texture rather than turning
mushy. It is then washed thoroughly to remove the hull and any
trace of lime. The cleaned, boiled and washed corn is known as
nixtamal, or Mexican-style hominy.
