Soak hominy corn in water overnight to soften.

In a pot, add the soaked hominy corn and water, cooking for about 5 to 6 hours total.

After 3-4 hours of cooking the meat, check the water level and add hot water as needed.

Add the annatto oil to give color and flavor to the dish.

Season with cumin, but traditionally no salt is added during cooking; salt can be added when serving instead.

After cooking for about 5 hours, check the tenderness of the meat and corn.

Plate the dish, ensuring to include shredded meat and hominy corn, garnishing with green onion.
