✽Ingredients In Vegan Pozole Verde
Beans - Pinto beans, or black beans
Tomatillos - Fresh tomatillos chopped into cubes
Onion - White or yellow onion
Chile pepper - Jalapeño or serrano and canned diced green chiles. If you prefer a non-spicy soup, just leave chile pepper out. (canned diced green chiles are not spicy)
Garlic - Whole garlic minced or a tablespoon of jarred minced garlic
Hominy - Mexican-style hominy can be found in the Hispanic aisle in the grocery store and I prefer its taste for posole to regular white hominy.
Spices - Ground cumin, Mexican oregano, salt & pepper
Liquid - Gluten-free vegetable broth and lime juice.
Oil - Olive oil, or vegetable oil
✽What is Mexican Hominy?
Hominy is a fantastic food derived from corn kernels that have long been a staple of Mexican cuisine. Mexican-Style Hominy is made with a combination of corn kernels that have been soaked in water, lime, and salt to bring out their natural flavor.
