Description

This dish of pork rinds with hominy is a traditional delight that I have adapted to prepare with the Thermomix®. The key is the slow cooking of the pork so that it is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The hominy, that Andean white corn, gives it a unique and comforting touch. Ideal to share in a family meal or a special celebration. Go ahead and try this recipe that will transport you directly to the flavors of Peru! You can accompany it with a Creole sauce to further enhance its flavor. The preparation requires some time, but the result is worth it.

Leave the hominy soaking in water overnight. The next day, place the soaked hominy in the simmering basket. Pour 1 liter of water into the bowl and place the simmering basket inside.

Evaporation of the water

Thermomix® Setting

15 min/Varoma/Velocidad 1 Varoma

Remove the pork from the bowl and reserve the broth. Place the pork back in the bowl, without the broth. Program 15 min/Varoma/Speed 1, without the measuring cup, so that the water evaporates completely. Watch that it does not burn and stir with the spatula if necessary.

Fry the pork rinds

Thermomix® Setting

20 min/Varoma/Velocidad 1 Varoma

If the pork has enough fat, it will melt on the bottom of the bowl. If it is not enough, add pork lard or vegetable oil until covering the bottom. Program 20 min/Varoma/Speed 1, without the measuring cup, to fry the pieces of pork. Stir with the spatula so that they brown evenly and are crispy.

Fry the potatoes

Remove the pork rinds from the bowl and reserve. Cut the 4 boiled potatoes into slices. Add the potato slices to the bowl with the remaining fat. Program 10 min/Varoma/Speed 1, without the measuring cup, to fry the potatoes until golden brown. Stir with the spatula so that they brown evenly.
