Instructions:

Brown the Meat: In a large Dutch oven, brown the ground turkey and beef over medium-high heat until cooked through.
-
Add Onions: Add diced onions to the pot and sauté until translucent, allowing their sweet aroma to infuse the dish.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Recklessly toss in the cans of corn and hominy, along with the diced potatoes. Embrace the chaos and spontaneity of cooking by adding curry powder, red chili powder, and a sprinkle of oregano to the mix. If you’re feeling adventurous, pour in a splash of wine for added depth of flavor.

Customize: This recipe is a canvas for your culinary creativity. Feel free to add any additional ingredients that appeal to you. Whether it’s bell peppers, carrots, or your favorite seasoning blend, make it your own!
-
Simmer: Let the flavors meld together by simmering the Swill for at least three hours. The longer it simmers, the more robust and flavorful it becomes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the Swill is cooked to perfection, serve it hot and steaming. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. This dish is even better when reheated the next day or two, allowing the flavors to deepen and intensify over time.
