Ancho Pork and Hominy Stew

Time: 40 minutes

Make-Ahead Tip: You can freeze the stew for up to two months.

Serve with Jalepeño Corn Bread: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine 1 cup low-fat buttermilk, ¼ cup canola oil, 3 tablespoons sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 large eggs in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons baking powder over batter; whisk until blended. Fold in 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 4.5 ounces (about 1 cup) all-purpose flour, and 1 chopped jalepeño pepper (do not remove seeds). Spoon batter into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minute or until lightly browned.
