How to Make Super Creamy Hominy And Green Chilies

  1. Pulse 1 cup cooked hominy and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a food processor for 5 seconds, until coarsely ground. Do not over-process.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 finely minced jalapeño pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained) and the hominy mixture.
  4. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble and slightly thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with extra green chilies or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired.
