- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned hominy thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the hominy, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and kosher salt.

Pulse the food processor a few times to begin combining the ingredients. Then, process continuously until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
