What Is Pozole?
Pozole is a Mexican stew that’s traditionally made with hominy and meat and topped with various garnishes. Pozole is served as a festive dish to celebrate holidays as well as an everyday meal. Vegetarian pozole often substitutes beans for the meat in the stew.
What Is Hominy?
Hominy is corn that has been treated with lime to remove the tough hull and germ. It’s earthy in flavor, chewy in texture and an integral ingredient in the stew. Look for it in cans in the Latin section of your supermarket.
How to Serve Vegetarian Slow-Cooker Pozole
Garnish vegetarian pozole with shredded cabbage, radishes, fresh cilantro and sour cream. For a vegan version, top with diced avocado instead of sour cream. Serve this hearty stew on its own or with warm corn tortillas on the side.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
