Chard and Hominy

Acelgas y Pozole
Nueva cocina (the new way of cooking) is evident in many exciting and creative dishes. In the market in Guanajuato, I noted beautiful red and green chard, and I got the idea to use the striking colors of red chard and yellow hominy for a side dish that goes exceptionally well with pork.
