Vegetarian Posole With Tvp Recipes

VEGETARIAN POSOLE WITH TVP

Steps:

• Put chile peppers in a small bowl; cover with boiling water, and let stand while you chop other vegetables.
• In small saucepan, bring TVP and 1 1/2 cups of broth to a boil; turn off heat and let TVP soak up liquid while prepping other veggies.

• When onions are soft, add hominy, tomatoes, blended chiles, 2 1/2 cups broth, TVP, oregano, cumin, coriander, and salt.
• Simmer over medium heat 30 minutes to let flavors blend. (Can simmer longer if needed. Add extra broth or water if you like a thinner stew.).
• Stir in OJ and serve garnished with chopped green onions, radishes, cilantro, avocado, shredded lettuce, and/or hot sauce.

VEGETARIAN RED POZOLE WITH RED BEANS

Steps:

• Slit chiles open and remove seeds and veins. Heat a flat griddle or dry heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then toast the chiles, opened flat, 2 at a time, by pressing down and turning on either side with tongs, until fragrant and insides change color, about 1 minute.
• Put chiles in a bowl with cold water to cover and let soak until soft, about 20 minutes.
• While chiles are soaking, cook onion in oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer chiles with tongs to a blender (discard soaking water) and add garlic, cider vinegar, cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, cloves, and 1 cup water. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Add chile purée to pot and cook, stirring, 5 minutes.
• Add remaining 5 cups water, hominy, beans, zucchini, corn, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To serve the stew, surround it with small bowls of the accompaniments and let the guests garnish their servings as they wish.
