Hominy and Pazole


Hominy and Pozole

I had to change the name of one of my recipes because it simply was not what it was originally called. Pozole is a Mexican soup that dates back to the 1600’s and is made from field corn that has been processed to remove the husks and the germ. This is also called Hominy. When you grind up hominy, you wind up with what is called grits throughout the Southern US.

The soup is made in two forms Rojo and Verde. The Rojo is made with pork, red chilies and hominy. The Verde is made with pork, chicken, tomatillos, green chilies and Hominy. The recipe originally was called Easy Vegetarian Pozole. It contains two things that neither Pozole would have; beans and tomatoes. I have added, or will add, recipes for true Pozole  in both Rojo and Verde style as well as a more accurate vegetarian version – that is, if they turn out OK.
