White Bean and Hominy Chili, Cooking Light December 2011
This was a very good meal, although I didn't follow the recipe exactly. It' supposed to be vegetarian, with meatless chipotle sausage. We have so many types of sausage in our freezer that I didn't want to add another, so I used half of a Portuguese chorico sausage. To compensate for the lack of chipotle flavor, I put in a little adobo sauce while sautéing the sausage. I also only used one poblano chile instead of two and left out the Tabasco because I was nervous about this being too spicy-- I think poblanos are supposed to be pretty mild, but when I tasted a piece it seemed pretty punchy. In the end it wasn't spicy at all though, so I probably could have used both and been fine. I guess the heat evens out when it mixes with everything else. The hominy, beans, chile, and sausage all had slightly different textures, so it kept it interesting.
For a <40 minute meal, this is nice and flavorful! Definitely a keeper, I thought. G said "just ok," though.
