What each ingredient does
- Hominy samp
- Forms the main starchy body of the dish, becoming tender and soft during long simmering.
The step that matters
Simmering on low heat. Simmering gently for the full five hours lets the tough dried kernels soften evenly. Boiling hard or stirring too little can scorch the bottom or leave some kernels firm.
