Hominy
Also called pozole corn, maíz pozolero, nixtamalised corn, canned hominy
Large corn kernels nixtamalised so they puff and turn chewy; the heart of Mexican pozole and menudo.
What can replace it
- T3 · In a pinchCanned chickpeas
Similar size and chew in stews, but beany rather than corn-flavoured.
- T3 · In a pinchCanned sweetcorn
Sweet, soft kernels without the chewy, puffy nixtamal texture; pozole tastes different.
