Hominy Pudding

Jim Strickler would make corn pudding for all major holidays and family events. This version uses hominy, a traditional Virginia maize and low-lectin alternative to modern corn.

1/2 cup organic dried hominy
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
smoked paprika

Soak hominy overnight. Drain. Pressure cook on high for 20 minutes with 6 cups of water. Use nature release. Drain.

Whisk together corn, cream, sugar, and eggs. Microwave for 8-10 minutes until the center is set.  Sprinkle with paprika.

This recipe can double or triple. However, it should be baked at 400° F instead of microwaving for 45 minutes until the center sets.
