INSTRUCTIONS
Optionally, sauté the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes in a pan with a little hot oil. Season with a pinch of garlic salt (or just a pinch of salt and pepper). Remove from the pan and reserve. If you want to skip this step just add them raw along with the hominy corn.
Blend the poblano peppers, jalapeños, tomatillos, onion, garlic, coriander, pumpkin seeds, oregano, salt, pepper and 3 cups of water.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoon olive oil and once hot, add the Green sauce. Let it simmer for 13-14 minutes.
Add 6 cups of vegetable broth and mix.
Rinse the hominy and add it to the broth along with the mushrooms. Cover with a lid and let the pozole simmer for 15 minutes.
Prepare the peanut salsa: heat the oil, and fry the chilies for a couple of minutes over low heat – make sure not to burn them -. Remove from the heat and add the peanuts, sesame seeds, garlic and mix. Cover with a lid so they lightly cook with the residual heat from the pan. Let cool and blend (if the sauce is too thick, add a little more oil until it forms a thick paste). Try the salsa before adding it to the pozole because it’s really spicy.
Serve the pozole with all the toppings and peanut salsa to taste.
NOTES
*If you can find raw tomatillos, use 300 g
