Equipment
- 1 large pot
Ingredients
- 2 cans of drained white hominy
- 1/2 stick butter
- 5 tsp cornstarch
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp ground sage

Instructions
- Make the Roux: In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch, creating a smooth paste (roux).

- Cook & Thicken: Lower the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid, and let it cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Serve: Serve warm as a side dish or main course. Enjoy this Southern comfort dish with a unique hint of sweetness and savory sage.
