How to Cook Hominy
Ingredients
Directions
Wash the hominy slightly in cold water.
Soak the hominy in tepid soft water for twelve hours.
Boil the soaked hominy slowly in the same water for three to six hours, adding more water as needed to prevent burning.
Do not add salt while cooking, as it will harden the corn.
