Followed ingredients and proportions with a few modifications. Used raw & cubed trimmings from pork shoulder instead of chops, half poblano & half bell pepper, no tomato paste because we were out of it. Simmered til meat was tender. Pretty good.
Pork and Hominy Chili
If you've never tried hominy before, you're in for a treat. Mix canned hominy—a nutty, tender ingredient made from dried, hulled corn kernels—with chunks of pork and bold spices in this hearty, Mexican-inspired chili.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups chili and 1 tablespoon sour cream)
