I am so lame for making this post.
This Pork Hominy Stew is the best thing I've made all year. A stew of hominy, leftover shredded pork, tomato, an entire bottle of Dark Ale, carrots, onions, a bunch of salsa from Trader Joe's, cilantro and garlic up the wazoo. It was actually very easy, and I can probably never duplicate it exactly because I was just pitching stuff from the fridge into the pot, and this is what I got. Absolutely fantastic. I'm sorry it's almost gone!
I also came to a realization with this soup. While I detest drinking beer and ale (yuck, I don't want to drink anything that requires me to acquire a taste for it), I LOVE cooking with it. Why is that? Why do I love beer and ale based entrees, but dislike it as a beverage? Dunno.
And why is this post lame? Because while I did take notes, I don't have a recipe for you yet. I shouldn't proclaim this to the best thing I've made all year, and then just make you sit here and look at it, but, that's exactly what I'm doing so I can organize my photo uploads.
I'm good at soup, always have been. When I get off my ass, I'll type up the recipe as close as possible, for future generations.
Use it up points:
Off the charts, it was a frenzy of pitching things in from the fridge and pantry.
Hi Kate. I, too, am working down pantry and freezer stores. Your stew sounds grand and I can't wait for a recipe. I like your place and will be back again.
ReplyDeleteOOh. Gotta love this -- not only because it uses up some freezer stores, but because it sounds absolutely delicious. Who can turn down a stew with beer in it? :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog, loving it!
ReplyDeleteLove Hominy! I do the same thing- make something great but don't write down what I put in it. I finally keep a notebook with me when I am making up recipes. I have also crossed out many recipes that ended up in the can. Can't win them all!
