Sweet Potato and Hominy Stew
- Simple one-dish dinner that’s yummy and extremely filling.
- Do not make this in a saucepan as the recipe suggests. This sucker needs to be made in a large pot. I opted for the saucepan and ended up having to do a mid-cooking transfer to something larger. Not the end of the world but annoying nonetheless.
- Skip the suggested side dish of polenta – the stew was great by itself. But definitely don't skip the cilantro and the lime wedges!
- Oh and you may want to check that your grocery store sells canned hominy. I had no problems but my mom couldn't find a grocery store near her that sold them. Hominy is corn and looks like this.
- Bizarrely enough this recipe came from Glamour magazine. The long marinade time (4 hours) will allow you to read all those articles that you don't admit to anyone about reading.
- It’s ridiculously easy to make. The marinade takes all of 5 minutes to make and the meat just takes 10 minutes to broil.
- I served it with broccoli and white rice (although I’d suggest serving it with cous cous instead – the rice was a little too heavy.)
- Oh how I love me some motherf'n meatballs. Forget the pasta – I could subside on meatballs alone.
- Instead of the usual veal/beef/pork combo these were made with Italian sausage along with pine nuts and currants. Pretty darn tasty.
- The sauce was good too but I'll be sure to double it next time.
