my wife's coworker lost (or is losing?) a family member. my wife asked me to make my green chicken posole.
i dug out all my leftover frozen chicken carcasses and got to work. it came out good. and she ran a couple of tubs over to the family.
i used canned hominy, and that got my brain going. why am i not using a dried alkaline treated product? i have the time. i think the dried product helps thicken the soup (i could be wrong)
one of my coworkers asked me.."have you checked out that store in NAPA CA?"
i just googled it. they have a plethora of heirloom beans, and yes..nixtamalized hominy!! not only did i learn a new word..i just saw that there are a lot of bean varieties out there?
any stand outs i must try?
i am gonna take posole to the next level..
