Slow Cooker Sunday: Vegetarian Pozole Recipe
Pozole is one of my all time favorite meals so when a friend got a bad cold last week, I couldn’t wait to whip up a batch for her. The spice from the chiles and heartiness from the hominy make it a perfect meal when you are feeling under the weather. However since she is a vegetarian, I eliminated the chicken I normally use and replaced it with some diced zucchini and extra hominy.

In a blender combine the poblano peppers, jalapenos, tomatillos, cilantro, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper and 1 cup vegetable broth. Blend until smooth. Taste and make sure it is spicy (a little spicier than you like) and well seasoned. Add more jalapenos or poblanos if needed.

2

Add to the slow cooker. Pour in remaining vegetable broth and hominy.

3

Cook on low for 4 hours.

4

Add the zucchini and cook for 30 more minutes.
