Vegetarian Posole

Ingredients

  • 5 roma tomatoes, halved
  • 5 tomatillos, halved
  • 6 guajillo chiles, remove stems and seeds
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tsp chile powder
  • 1 tsp coriander, ground
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 can pinto beans (15.5 oz)
  • 2 cans hominy (25 oz each)
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil

For serving

  • shredded iceberg lettuce
  • sliced radishes
  • sliced jalapenos
  • avocado
  • lime

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300℉.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice tomatoes and tomatillos lengthwise and place cut-side up on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for about 30 mins until softened.
  • In the meantime, fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add dried guajillo chiles (stemmed and seeded- it's okay if a few seeds remain) and allow them to soak for 10 mins. Remove from the water.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, place roasted tomatoes and tomatillos, guajillo chiles, garlic, cumin, chile powder, coriander and 2 tsp of salt. Blend on high until no large chunks remain.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tsp olive oil. Add onion and shallots and saute until soft and translucent. Add in blended chile mixture, bay leaf and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf and stir in beans and hominy. Taste and adjust salt and add a squeeze of lime if desired.
  • Serve with lettuce, radishes, jalapeno, avocado and lime wedges.
