Ingredients

• 2 cups Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 2 cups Hominy (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned with juices)
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 large Jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)

• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to soften.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a slow cooker, combine the cooked onion, garlic, and jalapeño mixture with the black beans, hominy, diced tomatoes (including juices), and vegetable broth.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Once the cooking time is complete, taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or spices.

Step 7

Ladle the black bean hominy into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrusy kick.

Step 8

Enjoy your spicy slow cooker black bean hominy as a main course or a flavorful side dish!
