not a crock pot recipe but if anyone likes a hot curry i made a vindaloo last night , it was stunning! this made enough for me and the girlfriend (wasn't a big fan of it, was too hot for her) and enough left over for my lunch tomorrow.

2 chopped onions
4 chopped cloves of garlic
4 chopped birds eye chillies
1 teaspoon cloves
2 teaspoon chilli powder
2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 teaspoon ground coriander
2 chopped chicken breasts
1 can of chopped tomato
5 fluid oz/quarter pint of white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mango chutney
1 diced baking potato (par boil if you want it soft, i like it with a bit of bite so didnt bother)

fry the onion and garlic in some oil until softened.
crush the cloves and mix with chilli and powders
add chicken to the frying pan and cook until browned then add potato
stir in the spice mix ensuring the chicken and potato are well coated
add the tomato, vinegar and mango chutney and simmer for 45 mins or so.
serve with rice and nan bread.

be warned it is a very hot curry, a much drier heat than a chili as well so it might be nice for a change if anyone eats a lot of that but is looking to try other hot foods.

If you have never had the Mexican dish Posole here is a fast version that is easy to make. Trust me, try this.

We have a large crock pot so this recipe can be adjusted for a smaller one.

• 3 cans of hominy, 29 oz. cans.

• 2 cans of Hereford Roast Beef, 12 oz. cans. (This is the fast version. It is actually better with a small pork roast that cooks overnight and then shred the meat off the roast.)

• 1 can of red enchilada sauce, 29 oz.

• 2 tablespoons of red chile powder

• 1 teaspoon of jalapeno powder (you can add more if you want it hotter. I find more people don't want it too hot.)

Drain two of the cans of Hominy of all water. Pour in crock pot. Add the 3rd can of Hominy with the water from the can.

Add the two cans of Roast Beef. You should shred the beef rather than just throw in the chunks.

Add the Red Enchilada sauce, the red chile powder, and the jalapeno powder.

Stir it all together with a wooden spoon.

Cooked on low it will be ready in 8 hours. (recommended)

Cooked on medium it will be ready in 6 hours.

Cooked on high it will be ready in 4 hours.


Serve in a bowl. Let it cool down for 5 minutes before eating. The Hominy really retains cooking heat.

You can shred some cheese on top, or some Fritos chips if you want to. It honestly isn't needed. It's good as is. I do recommend some good quality flour tortillas with it.

Note: If you do it with the pork roast simply cook the pork roast overnight on low. Then shred the meat and follow the same steps as above.

Good stuff.

I cant find hominy!!!!!!!

I cant find hominy!!!!!!!

You need to check other groceries then because canned hominy, both yellow and white, are in no way an exotic item.

I can't fathom a major store, especially one in a southern state, NOT having it.

And no, grits will not work as a substitute.

Most common brand I've found all over:

No ---Hominy is not the same as canned sweet corn

Best stuff ever

Carne Guisada

1 1/2 pounds of good stew meaat
1-can diced tomatoes
3 beef bouillon cubes
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2teaspoons of diced garlic(two cloves)
1teaspoon chili powder
salt and black pepper to taste
2 big hatch roasted green chiles(diced) or 1 can of chopped green chilies

Brown the meat in a skillet and add salt ,pepper and a little garlic and cumin.
After browning the meat,mix the rest of the ingredients and the meat in the crock pot.Add a cup or two of water and cook for 6 hours on high. Will be ready sooner ,but the longer you cook it the more tender the meat becomes.
5 minutes before eating dissolve several tablespoons of flour in a small amount of hot water.Add to the crock pot until the mixture is thicken (like gravy.

Eat with flour tortillas-rice -cheese -what ever you like.If you prefer it more like a stew you can add diced carrots and potatoes after the mixture has cooked a couple of hours and leave out the flour and water

Hominy

 

[vta]

Hominy

The traditional United States version involves soaking dried corn in lye-water (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solution), traditionally derived from wood ash, until the hulls are removed. Mexican recipes describe a preparation process consisting primarily of cooking in lime-water (calcium hydroxide).

Jeez, who knows when you're eating small doses of poison? I've never had Hominy, but I have had High Fructose Corn Syrup, which is made from lye also.
