But to make sure Google "mote maiz Peru," and see if the large white kernels are what you have. Soak them over night and then cook as you would cook dried beans. I use them to make the Mexican soup "pozole" (you can find recipes on the internet), but you can use them (cooked) in any recipe calling for hominy. <br /><br />Great flavor, if you like hominy, which I do.<br /><br />SaludosJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689286618770701205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676706555611983773.post-91024889269256899612010-10-28T18:58:23.055-03:002010-10-28T18:58:23.055-03:00Hi Jim, I discovered a Peruvian market today and t...Hi Jim, I discovered a Peruvian market today and they had bags of dried, giant corn kernels. I read your earlier post about the maize, and I will check with the store and see what they called the different varieties. I'm wondering though if you might refer me to some more recipes, especially ones using the dried packaged kernels. I have not had much success doing the regular web searches for recipes.

I moved to Chile this year and LOVE food, so it's been fun navigating the food culture here. Your blog seems to be very helpful in deciphering what some of the dishes are, and you have some great recipes!<br /><br />TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
