Here's a good early dish, using some modern ingredients. You could have had something real similar in Santa Fe or Taos, way back when. The only caveat, is all are restricted from bringing this to the pot luck at our spring or fall shoots. Otherwise, what would I bring?!!
I like to do this in a Dutch oven. (Of course!)
Two lbs. sausage, brown and drain.
Add three cans of drained white hominy, stir together with the sausage.
Add two jars of Picante or Salsa, with cilantro.
Stir together, bring to simmer for a few minutes, and dinner is ready.
Takes 15-20 minutes.
Try it, you'll like it!
