Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hominy

    Rinse the dried hominy under cold water and soak it overnight in a large pot with enough water to cover. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer with Hominy

    Add the soaked hominy to the pot. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until hominy is tender.

  5. 5

    Finish the Stew

    Stir in chopped cilantro, scallions, pickled jalapeños, and crumbled goat cheese just before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the pozole into bowls and top with additional cilantro, scallions, jalapeños, and goat cheese as desired.
