This week, I had some remaining red cabbage, and our boxes featured the first onions and green beans of the season as well as some carrots. Of course I thought of Pozole Soup (or Stew, if you like it thicker with veggies like I do!).<\/p>\n<p>Pozole is corn &#8212; white hominy, to be specific. Since the kernels are large and grow even larger during cooking, one dried bean packager markets it in bags describing it as &#8220;Giant White Corn.&#8221; Along with a rich array of colorful veggies, pozole is the basis of this delicious Mexican-style soup. Although traditionally made with meat, my version is 100% plant-based, and the taste and texture of the pozole and variety of delicious veggies along with a little extra virgin olive oil and some avocado means no one will miss the meat at all!<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to experiment with the veggies you add. I used some chard in mine this week along with the snap beans, carrots, cabbage and onions. If you have any garlic scapes left, they would also make a nice garnish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Extra virgin olive oil, 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li>Red onion, 2-3 medium-large, finely diced<\/li>\n<li>Garlic, 8 cloves, minced<\/li>\n<li>Oregano, 1 TB<\/li>\n<li>Salt, 1+ TB<\/li>\n<li>Carrots, 6-8 small-medium, sliced on the bias<\/li>\n<li>Snap beans, 16 oz., tipped and cut into 1\u2033 pieces<\/li>\n<li>Tomatoes, 8-10 medium, petite diced &#8212; or a 28 can of petite diced tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>Pozole (whole hominy), 1 lb. dried<\/li>\n<li>Water, 3-4 quarts,<em> including<\/em> hominy cooking water<\/li>\n<li>Chipotle in adobo sauce, 1-2.5 TB, minced or blended<\/li>\n<li>Avocado, Red Cabbage, Cilantro, Lime\u00a0Slices (garnish)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Slow-cook the pozole until just tender, and set aside in cooking water.<\/li>\n<li>Add the extra virgin olive oil to a large soup pot.<\/li>\n<li>Dice and add the onions and garlic, followed by the green beans and petite diced tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li>Drain the pozole, reserving the cooking water. Add pozole to the pot, and measure the water, adding enough more to make 3-4 quarts depending on how veggie-filled you like it.<\/li>\n<li>Cook until all flavors blended and veggies are tender.<\/li>\n<li>Serve garnished with avocado, slivered raw red cabbage, chopped cilantro and lime slices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You might like a little more salt \u2014 or a little less chipotle. This makes a slightly spicy soup.<\/p>\n<p>This week I&#8217;m looking forward to receiving sweet corn, cantaloupe, more summer squash, chard and snap beans, green cabbage, leeks and kale. That sounds like some amazing meals!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no question in my mind what I&#8217;ll do with that sweet corn. Last year Andy and I discovered a new taste treat, Mexican-style corn with mayonnaise instead of butter. I prepare the corn either in the husk on the grill or in the oven &#8212; or husked in simmering water. I use Just Mayo, a great vegan mayonnaise, flavored with dried chipotle seasoning to taste &#8212; and we slather it onto the ears when they&#8217;re done. Now that&#8217;s something delicious!<\/p>\n<p>The cantaloupe is another easy one. I love cantaloupe, and it won&#8217;t last two seconds before I just spoon it out of the shell. As for the greens&#8230;can&#8217;t get enough of &#8217;em! We stuff our smoothies full every morning, starting off our days with a health rush.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, the scenes that remind me that all is still right with the world&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117a_web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2811\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117a_web.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117a_web.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117a_web.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117a_web.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117b_web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2812\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117b_web.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117b_web.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117b_web.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117c_web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2813\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117c_web.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117c_web.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117c_web.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117c_web.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117d_web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2814\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117d_web.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117d_web.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117d_web.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117d_web.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117e_web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2815\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117e_web.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117e_web.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117e_web.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080117e_web.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more, visit my blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vegetatingwithleslie.org\">vegetatingwithleslie.org<\/a>, \u201cLike\u201d me on <b>FaceBook<\/b>\/Vegetating with Leslie or follow me on <b>Twitter<\/b>, @<b>vegwithleslie.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published this week in my CSA newsletter, Bob&#8217;s Fresh and Local.

I raised a family, owned a farm and enjoyed tending a large organic garden and orchard 40 years ago. I restored a log cabin and enjoyed it as an energy conscious home way before energy consciousness was publicly conscious. I hold a number of advanced degrees focused on religion, literature and languages. I published a chapter in a book on women's rituals in Judaism. I have enjoyed a variety of careers including teaching, educational programming in the not-for-profit sector, technology and web management. For the last eight years I have owned a five-star (YELP) vegetarian cafe. This year we were voted best vegetarian dining experience in McHenry County by the readers of the Northwest Herald. I write articles on food for a local newspaper.
