Hominy...what can you do with that?

JJ

Julie, I only cook or write up recipes for things I have either eaten or at least seen so not wanting to guess, I am stumped for now anyway but I will check the fine food section for delicacies from other countrys and maybe find an Austraslian Passionfruit I can fiddle with and make something out of. How do you fix yours or do you eat then like an apple?

Hominy, well in all fairness never touched the stuff but let me try some tomorrow at Mammas Southern Home Cooking restaurant and see what I can come up with, aw shucks there goes my three pound loss by Thanksgiving...

Well trust me on this one...it ain't for me either. It's for my friend Liz...she wrote me tonight and wanted to know what to do with a can of hominy...I said "throw it away." Yuck! But if you can come up with something, I'll pass it on to her. She's dying to cook this one measley little can of hominy...for the experience she said. She also called me at home and when I said hello she said, "Is this the Hominy Hotline?" What a nut. I think her butter has dripped off the biscuit...ya know?

We cut in them in half and scoop the pulp out of the shell with a spoon and eat it - or put it in fruit salad, or on top of a pavlova - passionfruit icing on cake, passionfruit icecream, etc etc (here's a link with a pic)http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/fruit%20pages/passionfruit.htm

Chatty, I made the banana cream pie and it was a big hit! Everyone loved it.

Ladies, this is the second chatty recipe I've made this week. Her recipes are easy and scrumptious. Thank you!

Well JJ, thanks to your friend and her insistance on a way to cook Hominy I am now invited to eat FREE at Mamma's Southern Home Cooking Restaurant...I went in this mornig to ask them. "what the heck is hominy?" They had a pot full of the stuff, looked like mashed potatoes to me but (sorry for this) tasted like wallpaper paste...I and she talked awhile and I said, what about adding a whole egg, some finely chopped onions and a tsp. of cinnamon,making it into a pancake patty, then frying it either in hot oil or on the grill?" Well we tried that and gave some of the customers tastes and it was a big fat success at least to the people that like hominy. I tasted it too and when they came out crispy brown (like a potaote pancake) I added syrup and it was quite tasty. So tell your friend to try that....

Julie, find a peach cobbler recipe and try using the passionate fruit in the way you would use peaches or apples. Might be good that way...

Believe it or not that was what I was going to suggest. My Mom cooked hominy a lot when I was a kid. I don't think we ever had cinnamon on it or anything sweet, but she put eggs and a little flour in it and some pepper and dseep fried it and it was pretty good.
Kind of like potato pancakes as I remember. My husband mentioned hominy a while back. I have a can in my cupboard. It's been there so long think it's an antique.

And I remember my Granny making hominy too. I think it involved the dry, hard 'horse' corn and lye. Not sure what she did with it, but...
