Author Notes: Inspired by a can of hominy that I impulse-purchased. Adapted from The Wednesday Chef’s blog post about Julia Moskin’s Caramelized Corn with Fresh Mint.
Sconeman said “it tastes like popcorn.” Minty popcorn. Alternately, use regular canned corn, if you’d like, or a fresh ear of corn. —mrslarkin
