Steps:
- Put the hominy and dried beans in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight. Drain before using. **Note: You can use canned if needed. I used dried hominy and lima beans and canned garbanzos. If you do this, you'll want to increase the amount by about 1.5 - it's not an exact science. I used 1 can of canned chickpeas in place of 1 cup dried. I added them about an hour through the boiling process, but I think it would be fine to add them all at the start.
- *Cut skin and excess fat off of the pork shoulder/butt; cut into 1" pieces and set aside on a plate. *Cut cured chorizo into 1/2" diagonal slices. I used uncooked chorizo, so I cooked the links most of the way before cutting. Set aside on a plate. *Quarter the bacon slices and set aside on a plate. *Peel and remove the seeds from the squash, cut into 1" pieces. *Dice the onions.
- Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Add the pork cubes and cured chorizo. Sprinkle with salad and pepper and brown on all sides; set aside on a plate.
- Add five cloves minced garlic, onion and bacon; cook until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste, oregano, cumin, and bay leaf; cook for 2 minutes.
- Return meat to pan with hominy, lima beans, chickpeas, squash, and 10 cups water. Bring to a boil. Add ½ tsp baking soda to soften. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until hominy and beans are tender, about 2 hours.
- While it's cooking, whisk 1⁄2 cup oil, paprika, red pepper flakes, and 3 cloves garlic in a small bowl. Slice the scallions.
- Once the stew is finished, squeeze in the lemon juice. To serve, ladle the stew into bowls. Sprinkle with scallions and drizzle with chili oil sauce.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until slightly golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until it has released its aroma. Add the squash, tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper, and water. Stir to mix and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes, or until the squash is almost but not quite tender. While the stew is cooking, prepare the sliced corn for the garnish. Bring a large skillet of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sliced corn and bring back to the boil, then remove from the heat and let sit in the water for 2 minutes, then drain well. In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium high heat. Add the cayenne, stir to mix and add the corn slices. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until slightly crisped and colored by the cayenne. Add the lime juice and turn the disks so that they are evenly coated. Remove from the heat and set aside. Stir the corn kernels and peas into the stew, cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and serve, garnished with the sauteed corn slices.

Steps:
- 1) Soak the white corn in 2 cups of water 2) In a large stewpot put the onions, garlic,m bacon, sausage and osso buco - cook over med heat until the onion are translucent. 3) Add the fresh corn, paprika, cumin, salt & pepper - continue to cook, stirring regularly for approx 10 min. *At this point you can transfer everything to a slow cooker 4) Add the soaked white corn (water & all). 5) Add hot water to the pot about 2'' above the level of the ingredients. 6) Add the remaining vegetables, stir & bring to a boil. 7) Reduce hear and simmer, covered, stirring every 15-20 min for 2-3 hour minimum. 8) Remove the osso buco bones and cut the meat into small pieces - return them to the pot 9) Continue to stir over low heat and begin to use the back of a wide spoon or spatula to start pressing the ingredients against the side of the pan. 10) The idea is the have the starchy vegetables and tomato disintegrate into the stew. The stew will gradually become thicker & thicker as you cook it.
