This gets better with reheating and freezes beautifully--a great dish to make for eating half and freezing half. Hominy and black eyed peas should be in the vegetable or Mexican sections of your grocery store. A good choice for bringing to new mamas, and *far* more impressive than the minimal amount of effort implies!
