What each ingredient does
- Hominy
- Its kernels soften and swell during the long simmer, becoming tender and absorbing the cooking liquid.
The step that matters
Cook all day without stirring. Slow, undisturbed cooking at a gentle heat lets the kernels soften evenly without breaking apart or scorching on the bottom of the pot.
