some years back, I was researching menu items before opening a new restaurant. This one I did in conjunction with a yankee couple from Hull, Massachusetts.
They wanted to do a New England/lobster place. We did well with the concept for many years, before getting old and tired, and selling it.
One recipe that I looked at, but did not use, was this one, for hominy and bacon.
three cups canned hominy, drained
two tablespoons bacon fat
one onion, chopped course
one green pepper, chopped
two cups fresh, cooked tomatoes
tablespoon sugar, salt to taste
1/2 pound thick sliced bacon
put the hominy in a buttered baking dish.
in a skillet, melt the bacon fat. Add the onions and peppers, and cook until lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and seasonings, simmer for 5 min or so.
Pour this over the hominy. Top with the bacon slices, and bake at 325 until the bacon browns, and becomes crisp.
