We went full Thug Kitchen on this one. Their intro is the best version: “Part soup, part chile, Pozole is a hearty dish you can trick out with a fuck ton of toppings.” Thug Kitchen is my go to vegetarian recipe book. He has done a great job of making vegetarian food taste wonderful.
You start with chili, I used several, toast them, soak them and eventually blend them with garlic and cocoa powder. The meal begins with an onion and a pile of (pressed) firm tofu, the garlic chili paste and the water the chili soaked in, hominy, zucchini and broth along with salt, oregano and peri peri spice, all of which cooks down for about 30 minutes. Finished with a little maple syrup and the juice of a lime , its served with cabbage, radish green onion and cilantro. Absolutely delicious.
