About Stew, hominy with mutton (Navajo)
Hominy and mutton stew is a Navajo staple that pairs the chewy, alkali-processed corn with braised mutton in a simple savory broth. Moderately lean protein from the mutton anchors the dish, while the hominy supplies starch and a small amount of fiber. The nixtamalization process changes the corn's nutritional profile meaningfully, improving mineral availability in ways that plain corn cannot match.
