FRIED HOMINY

Steps:

• Drain hominy and combine in a stockpot with onion, garlic, carrot, bay leaves, thyme and water to cover. Cook 1 to 11/2 hours, until kernels are tender and just beginning to split. Season with salt to taste. Let sit for 1/2 hour, then strain and remove vegetables. Continue to strain as kernels cool; hominy can be refrigerated at this point for up to 2 days.
• Mix together remaining dry ingredients with about 1/2 tablespoon salt; taste and adjust seasoning.
• Make sure kernels are as dry as possible. Place oil in deep pot and heat to 375 degrees. Pour hominy into pot, in batches if necessary. If oil spatters, partially cover pot. Fry, stirring occasionally, until kernels begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then toss with salt and spice mix. Serve with lime wedges.
