Anyway, this snack reminds me of CornNuts; you know, that crunchy corn-like gas station snack food. :) The flavor I made is sort of a Mexican variety, but you could definitely adjust the seasoning. Another idea I want to try: add a packet of ranch dip mix after cooking and toss. (My husband loves ranch!) Another note: I use the canned hominy to save time, but you can also start from scratch and soak the dried hominy (like you would with beans).
Ingredients:
--2 cans of golden hominy
--Some oil for frying (I prefer peanut oil for larger batches, coconut for small ones)
--1 tsp garlic salt
--1 tsp ground pepper
--1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
--1 tsp dried oregano
--1 tsp cumin
--1/2 tsp chili powder
1. Mix last 6 ingredients in a condiment bowl.
2. Heat oil in a deep pan or deep fryer; add enough to cover the hominy.
3. Deep-fry the hominy for 5 minutes, or until it is a crispy golden brown.
4. Transfer to a dish with paper towels, and drain the oil off.
5. Toss while still hot in a bowl with the seasoning mixture and enjoy!
