Hominy, Corn, and Poblano Chiles
Pozole, Elote, y Chiles PoblanosHominy—corn kernels treated to remove the skins and often made into a stew or soup of the same name—is popular in the American southwest and throughout much of Mexico, where it's commonly called pozole. Hominy is sold precooked in cans, which simplifies making this recipe. I like to use white hominy for this dish for color contrast with the yellow corn kernels and green poblano chiles. Serve as a side dish with fish, pork, or chicken.
