The ingredients for Vegetarian Pozole are:

1 16 oz can hominy
1 1/2 cups dry (uncooked) pinto beans, carefully inspected for rocks and debris
water for soaking and for simmering (optional- I have made it both with and without the beans)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
6 cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped
3 guajillo chiles, stem removed, seeded, de-veined, and torn into small pieces
3 ancho chiles, stem removed, seeded, de-veined, and torn into small pieces
OR substitute fresh chiles, fire roasted and seeded. I like to use fresh ingredients and because I like heat, I use more chiles than this recipe calls for. Suggestions: Anaheim, banana, Poblano
1 28oz can of organic chopped tomatoes (fire roasted are great if you can find them)
Mexican dried oregano, at least 1 teaspoon, or more to taste
2 -3 cloves
salt to taste

Optional ideas for Garnishes:
chopped fresh cilantro
chopped radishes
lime wedges
chunks of avocado
Mexican crema or sour cream ( I often use yogurt instead to save calories)
minced red onion
chopped green onions
thin strips of crispy fried tortillas
finely shredded cabbage or lettuce

Here is how you make Vegetarian Pozole:

Cooking instructions:1. Soak your pinto beans in water at least 6 hours or overnight.2. After soaking, strain and rinse away the soaking water. Add the pinto beans to a large pot with plenty of fresh filtered water to cover, keeping in mind that the beans almost double in size and absorb water as they cook. Bring the pot to a boil, then cover and simmer until tender. The pinto beans should become very soft, and not feel chalky or crunchy. This can take anywhere from two hours to four hours, depending on many things, such as how fresh the beans were. Add the hominy, tomatoes, cloves, salt and peppers. Bring to a boil.3. Saute the onion & garlic just until translucent in the olive oil and add to the boiling pot. Bring to a simmer and simmer at least 30 minutes.This soup gets better after sitting overnight in the refrigerator.Serve with garnishes of your choice.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user 1DAIRYQUEEN.
