In the Kitchen with Emmett: Hopi Corn Stew

Tasty stew made with hominy. The original recipe is said to be from the 1920s, which would explain the use of canned items. Spicy & hearty! Serve with warm tortillas.

  • 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles, with juice
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, cook ground beef until evenly brown.
