Author Notes
This dish is modeled after a one we tried and fell in love with at a local restaurant. The original uses their own homemade pineapple vinegar as well as house made chicharrones. Ours is a little different, using pineapple juice and a little cider vinegar instead. —Emily Z

Ingredients
-
16 oz
Bag Dried Hominy
-
Water
-
1 cup
Pineapple Juice
-
1/4 cup
Olive Oil
-
1/4 cup
Apple Cider Vinegar
-
2 cups
Fresh Spinach Leaves
-
1 small bag
Chicharrones (Pork Rinds) optional
-
Salt and Pepper
Directions
-
Rinse off hominy, cover with water and soak overnight.
-
Drain the liquid from the hominy and cover with fresh water.
Bring to a boil.
Once water is boiling, turn the heat down to a simmer and let cook about an hour.
Keep an eye on the water, adding a little more as necessary to keep your hominy simmering.
-
The hominy will begin to expand and eventually, one by one the kernels will begin to explode.
When this happens, drain any excess liquid and add the pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar and olive oil.
Let simmer for another 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is almost gone.
Taste the hominy for, adding a little salt and pepper. (If using pork rinds, they can be salty so go lightly on the salt at this point.
-
Remove from heat and add in the spinach, letting it wilt slightly.
-
Top with crumbled pork rinds.
