Hominy And Black Bean Recipes

Steps:

• For the quinoa: In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the quinoa, chicken broth, salt and lemon zest to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil, agave, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, salt and pepper until smooth.
• In a serving bowl, combine the quinoa, hominy, black beans and cilantro. Add the dressing and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into the lettuce leaves and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until the vegetables are just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ham, cumin, coriander and chipotle and cook until the ham is lightly browned, about 3 minutes longer. Add the black beans, hominy and stock and bring to a boil. Simmer the stew over moderate heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Add the cilantro and season the stew with salt and pepper. Spoon the stew into deep bowls, sprinkle with the Cheddar and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the squash, 2 teaspoons cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the squash is well coated, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Put the chipotle and adobo sauce in a blender with 1/2 cup corn and 2 cups water; blend until smooth. Transfer the chipotle puree to the pot, along with 4 cups water, the hominy and black beans. Cover, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Uncover, adjust the heat to maintain a fast simmer and cook until the squash is tender and the soup has thickened slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thin the sour cream with 2 to 3 teaspoons water. Thinly slice the radishes for topping.
• Remove the soup from the heat and add the remaining 3/4 cup corn, the arugula and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Stir just to heat the corn and wilt the arugula; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls; drizzle with the sour cream and top with the radishes.

• The best way to make the guacamole is with a large stone pestle and mortar, but you can use a medium bowl and a flat-ended rolling pin instead. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli into a rough paste. Scoop in the avocado with a little salt and crush roughly - you want it chunky, not smooth. Squeeze in the lime juice and set aside.
