What each ingredient does
- Hominy
- Corn kernels that soften during long boiling to become tender and chewy.
The step that matters
Boil for one hour, stirring often. Stirring keeps the hominy from settling and sticking to the bottom of the pot, where it can scorch while the kernels soften slowly in the water.
