learned a new GIANT word recently.
NIXTAMILIZED. hell, spell check doesnt even know it!!
somewhere in our ancestry, some genius discovered how to unlock the nutrients of certain grains by treating them with an alkaline solution.
i recently started to perfect my Posole. i elected to use dry corn instead of the canned hominy products. it was not easy to find and what i did find was not neccesarly Nixtamilized. and asking the mexican cashier 100% resulted in a blank stare.
i found some in Napa CA!! the green chili chicken posole is awesome!! texture and flavor is way head/shoulders over the can product.
here is is soaking in water for a day. i still had to slow cook it for two hours afterwards.
