New Hominy Recipe
I was desperate last night with dinner...I had a 30 oz can of white hominy in the pantry, so I did a recipe search on Google to find a creative way use it. There were tons of recipes but everything included cheese/sour cream/meat. Because MBT and I are doing the vegan thing for a couple of weeks, (sort of a post-holiday food consumption gut-check - multiple puns intended) I was forced to get creative on my own (ready, set cook!). So, I sauteed some chopped onion in some corn oil (seemed appropriate for hominy) and then threw in some cajun spice and a bunch of kale sliced in ribbons. After waiting for the kale to wilt a bit, I then drained the hominy and added about 15 oz of chopped, fire-roasted tomatoes (with liquid). I cooked it down a bit and then transferred to a casserole dish and baked it for 20 minutes at 350. Very tasty and pretty to look at (white/green/red), I love the texture of the hominy. I polished off the leftovers at lunch today, yum!

sounds yummy. You are pretty adventurous in the kitchen.

That night for dinner we also had teriyaki rice cakes too. But hominy does have some protein (2 grams/serving) and is a good source dietary fiber. I wouldn't be concerned about protein...it's practically impossible to eat in such a way that would result in a protein deficiency.
