Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Start the pozole

  • Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups]. Finely chop enough of the remaining onion to measure ¼ cup [½ cup]; set aside for garnish. 

In a large sauce pot over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the coarsely chopped onion and chili spice blend, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the hominy and beans.

2

Prep the hominy and beans; finish the pozole

  • Rinse the hominy and pinto beans.

To the pot with the onion, add the hominy, beans, tomatillos, green chiles, and 1½ cups [3 cups] water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and the ingredients are heated through, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining garnishes.

3

Prep the remaining garnishes

  • Thinly slice the radishes. 
  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.

Serve

Transfer the pozole to individual bowls. Garnish with the cabbage, radishes, avocado, cilantro, and finely chopped onion and serve.
