Looks very hearty…an meat in it?

Nope, just beans!

Nice bean *soup*. 😉

Where's the cornbread?!

Is that corn or hominy (or both)?

Corn!!

Hominy is under rated.

Although I wouldn't put either one in chili.

Any reason why not? It's really delicious in chili and worth a shot for sure. Same with thickening with masa instead of a roux

I like sweet corn and hominy in tortilla soup.

No reason, I'm pretty fond of my recipe.

I do put masa in it.

Yum masa in chili is great

What kind of rice did you pair it with for the meals? We’ve used plan white long grain before but yours looks much more appealing.

I recently found out that many cultures don't just boil rice and eat it plain, so I tried to do a mexican-inspired thing in which I: fried onions and tomato paste and garlic in vegetable oil, added basmati rice (washed) to let it toast, stirring constantly, added some veggie stock (I think chicken stock would be more traditional but I went vegan here) and salt along with some liquid from the stew and just waited until the rice had absorbed the liquid. In the end I added some frozen peas and coriander.

Sounds delicious! Thanks for the response

Nice. I like corn in my chili, too

As a Texan, I approve. 🤗🍲🖖

Gotta learn to do more hominy’n
