Jay says ... Sante Fe is where I savored my first bowl of posole, a savory

corn and bean stew rooted in Native American and New Mexican cuisines. The meal

is prepared with dried corn kernels, called hominy. When hominy is cooked, it

has a chewy texture. (If you are using dried hominy, precook the kernels in

water for about 3 hours.) Posole is traditionally prepared with meat but thats

where the beans come in. Chipotle chilies give this dish a subtle, smoky taste.
