I have blended some 362g of fresh hominy with 60g water. I thinking of cooking some butternut squash and making a savoury fam with the hominy as a base.

Taking a while to blend it 'smooth' without bits. Maybe better to use the hand mill.

Baking a 'pie'

Here is the base

Add top layers

Ready for oven
The slices of pumpkin are covered in olive oil and a little rapadura.

21:30 Tried eating a little when 'cold'. The strong 'nutty' flavour is questionable.

Oct 22nd Fried some for supper and either I'm getting used to it a little or the frying reduced the taste. Either way unless I can reduce the taste I may well not be making hominy again, anytime soon.

Oct 23rd and 24th

Oct 25th Made a curry with 100g fresh pulses, 100, hominy totally edible but didn't taste like curry, which clearly is down to my spices not the hominy. More to eat tomorrow. The remaining hominy each day is boiled.

Oct 26th Made a bake, from bottom to top, potato, leak, hominy, slightly spicy tomato sauce then when cooked added some cashew based 'not cheese', which didn't melt. The remaining hominy was hot-jared 2 x 350g and 1 some 250g ~ which has air so will be used asap. The flavour is reducing, but it's memory isn't which is linked to the texture and knowing what I'm eating. This mind thing . . .

Nov 1st Used 250g jar, which was expanding with some old sosmix, cornmeal and ww flour to make a couple of burgers and a 'nut roast' type of thing. Burgers were fine

Nov 7th The reaming two 350g jars were swelling so used one in a bean and tomato sauce for paste, that lasted for two meals and the remaining jar to make a chocolate cake with home wheat and extras :) Both times the hominy was mushed by an electric blender, shown above.
