ingredients

1 cup milk
1 cup cornmeal
2 cups boiling water
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon corn oil or 1 tablespoon olive oil
¹⁄₃ lb mexican chorizo sausage (raw) or 1/3 lb chopped spanish chorizo (cured)
4 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 lb ground pork
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
¹⁄₂ tablespoon ground coriander (about 1/2 palmful)
1 small onion, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup beer
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1 ¹⁄₂ cups shredded cheddar cheese
cilantro leaves and sliced scallion, for garnishing

directions

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk. Whisk in the cornmeal, then whisk in the boiling water and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until very thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the butter and honey.
Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, in a large ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add the chorizo and bacon and render the fat for 3 minutes. Stir in the pork and cook, crumbling the meat, until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with the thyme, chili powder, coriander, salt and pepper. Add the onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes to soften. Stir in the beer to deglaze for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes to heat through.
Spoon the thick cornmeal over the pan and spread evenly. Top with the cheddar and brown under the broiler for 2 minutes. Serve from the skillet, garnished with the cilantro and scallions.
