Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups Hominy (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned with juices)
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 large Jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat.
In a slow cooker, combine the cooked onion, garlic, and jalapeño mixture with the black beans, hominy, diced tomatoes (including juices), and vegetable broth.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the cooking time is complete, taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or spices.
Ladle the black bean hominy into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrusy kick.
Enjoy your spicy slow cooker black bean hominy as a main course or a flavorful side dish!
