Ingredients
- 1 pound corn lagkitan, dried
- ¼ cup lime calcium hydroxide, food-grade, aka apog
- 2 tablespoons water
TOPPINGS
- coconut freshly grated
- sugar or salt
Instructions
- Place dried corn in a large pot and fill it with water. Mix several times with your hand then drain the liquid. Remove any floating pieces. Repeat this rinsing process 2-3 times then drain one last time.
- Dissolve the lime in some water just to make a slurry to make sure it does not have lumps when added. Then pour this over the corn in the pot. Add water to the pot enough to cover the corn with water at least 2 inches.
- Turn the heat to high to bring it to a boil then cover with a lid and reduce the heat for a simmer. Stirring occasionally, let it cook for about 30mins to an hour or until the skin of the kernels become soft and somewhat peels off and the corn has expanded. Add more water if needed. Turn the heat off.
- Nixtamalization process (Optional Step): Let it cool down in the pot and just let it soak for 4 -24 hours.
- Using a colander, drain the liquid and wash and rinse rubbing the corn kernels together with your hands to remove some of the skin. Place the hominy back in the pot, fill it with water, and wash it again. Repeat the wash and rinse until the water becomes clear. Then drain.
- Now add water to cover the corn kernels to at least an inch. Cover with a lid and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- If the water still turns yellow, discard it and start with fresh water. Once it simmers lower the heat to low and let it cook until the kernels swell to double or triple the size. Add water if needed. It should not be totally dry as it will go on absorbing the liquids as it cools down.
- Once done, let it cool down a bit before serving. Transfer to serving bowls and top with freshly grated coconut. You can add sugar or salt according to your preference.
