I'm not entirely sure how to rate this. I really liked it, but DH didn't and DD wasn't too sure. DH thought the hominy was "weird". What? It's just corn. I omitted the cayenne and added an anaheim chili with the onion and garlic. I also used a little chicken broth with the water for just a little more flavor. I think if I make this again, I'll add cumin as well. The fresh cilantro is fantastic, don't skip it! I served this with cheddar-onion biscuits. The leftovers are in the freezer for my lunches later this week. Made for PAC Fall 2007.
