Hominy and Zucchini

I was gifted the newest Perini Ranch Steakhouse cookbook. I tried the hominy and green chili recipe. I kicked it up a notch my nixtzmilizing dried corn from Masienda and making my own hominy (it’s actually easy). This recipe has hominy, green chilies, onion, bacon, and cheese - so it has to be good. 
Then I made Zucchini Carpaccio from the cookbook. Dayum y’all - that is good. Made with zucchini straight from the garden. Roasted potatoes and a pork tenderloin (with a splash of fermented hot sauce) rounded out the meal. Going to have some friends over on Friday so this was a test drive of the new recipies. 

Zucchini from the garden.


Nixtamilized blue corn.


Used the wood oven for potatoes and hominy and the large for the pork tenderloin.

Thanks for looking y’all. This took a little planning but was actually an easy meal to execute.

    I love your posts.  Wish I had your talent.

    I grew up in Abilene.  If you haven't already, try the Zucchini Perini recipe. One of my favorites!

    @Mattman3969 Thank you. The fresh zucchini and homemade hominy were definitely the stars of the meal.

    @chays99 Thanks. We enjoy the zucchini Perini too. 
    Don’t know about the talent part. I picked up much of what I know from hanging out here with the forum miscreants...

    You had me at Nixtamilized blue corn hominy, but that pork tenderloin and sauce just put that meal out of orbit. Love the way you combine things to create a wonderful meal.

    Excellent cook. My grandmother used to make homemade hominy many years ago. In the south, hominy was made using Red Devil Lye. We didn't know anything about Nixtamalization. The Red Devil Lye never killed anyone, and It did a really job removing the kernel husk.
