    I made vegan pozole verde last night! SO GOOD. Use your heart to measure:



    Roast:
    4 poblano peppers,
    2 serrano peppers,
    1 jalapeno, 
    1/2 white onion, 
    3 garlic cloves

    Boil 6 med/large tomatillos until soft

    Once the poblanos are blackened and soft, put into a pot with the lid on to steam.  After a few minutes you can remove the blackened bits by rubbing with a paper towel. slice open and discard seeds.  Keep the rest of the veggies as is.

    Blend all ingredients together with a handful of cilantro (stalks and leaves) 

    add to pot with 1 or 1.5 carton veggie stock (mild tasting).  Add a good amount of oregano and S+P to taste. O

    Drain and rinse 28oz can of maiz (hominy).  Add along with 28oz can (including 1/2 the  juice, save the other half of the juice incase you need to tame down the acidity of the salsa) of pinto beans.

    Bring to boil then lower to simmer for 1 hour.  Squeeze 1 lime then serve with shredded green cabbage, sliced radish, small dice red onion, avocado and tostadas. 

    Add/Remove serranos if you like it more/less spicy
