• Saute onion in olive oil, add oregano, marjoram, cumin, a pinch of cloves, cinnamon, and cayenne.
• Add the cooked hominy to the saute along with plenty of diced tomatoes.
• Add a few finely snipped ancho and chipotle peppers and a bay leaf and bring to a simmer.
• Cook about 20 minutes or so, then begin adding salt, a bit of brown sugar, and unsweetened dark chocolate to taste.
• Add a few drops of vanilla extract if you dare.

Eat with lots of good grated cheddar cheese, over rice, perhaps.
