Ingredients

1 cup dried small hominy, soaked in water overnight and then drained well

2-3 tbsp oil, separated

1/2 cup diced carrots

1/2 cup diced red onion

1/4 tsp salt

7 cloves garlic, chopped

400g tomatoes - you can use tinned or fresh (chopped a bit)

1 cup packed minced spinach

pepper

2 tbsp minced parsley, to garnish

Directions

If you don't have hominy, pearl barley would make an excellent substitute.  Cook according to the pack instructions and then add to the broth as above.

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
