Pounded bean

Drain the canned hominy in a colander and rinse under cold water to remove excess liquid and starch.

Rinse the dried beans under cold water to remove any dust or debris, then drain well.

Combine the drained hominy and dried beans in a large mortar or heavy bowl.

Pound the mixture vigorously with a pestle, working in a circular motion to break down and crush both the hominy and beans into a coarse, chunky paste.

Continue pounding until the mixture reaches a thick, paste-like consistency with some small bean pieces still visible, approximately 5 more minutes.

Transfer the pounded mixture to a serving bowl and serve warm as a staple side dish or main course.
