Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1¼ lb. tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed
2 garlic cloves
3 poblano chiles, halved, seeds removed, coarsely chopped
1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 cup salted, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
1 cup chopped parsley, plus more for serving
3 Tbsp. chopped white onion, plus more for serving
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
1½ tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 lb. mixed mushrooms (such as white button and crimini), thinly sliced
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 cups cooked hominy or giant corn (see Cook's Note below) or two 15-oz. cans hominy, drained
2-3 radishes, trimmed, halved, thinly sliced crosswise
Lime wedges and dried oregano (for serving)

Steps:

  • Combine tomatillos and garlic in a medium saucepan, pour in water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatillos are mushy and soft but not falling apart, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer tomatillos, garlic, and 1 cup cooking liquid to a blender. Add poblano chiles, serrano chile (if using), pumpkin seeds, 1 cup cilantro, 1 cup parsley, 3 Tbsp. white onion, 1 cup broth, and 1 tsp. salt. Purée until smooth; set aside. (Work in batches if needed, or blend directly in saucepan with an immersion blender if you have one.)
  • Heat oil in a large pot over high. Once it's hot, but not smoking, add mushrooms and sprinkle pepper and remaining ½ tsp. salt over; toss to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release all of their liquid and it evaporates and edges of mushrooms begin to brown, 8-10 minutes.
  • Pour tomatillo purée into pot, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until purée thickens and darkens in color, about 10 minutes.
  • Add hominy and remaining 5 cups broth to pot, stir to combine, and cook until flavors have come together, 12-15 minutes. Taste and season pozole with more salt if needed.
  • Serve pozole verde with radishes, lime wedges, dried oregano, more white onion, cilantro, and parsley alongside so guests can top their bowl as desired.
  • Cook's Note: To cook dried hominy: Place 1 cup hominy in a small bowl and pour in water to cover. Let soak 2-12 hours. Drain, place in a pot, and cover with a generous amount of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and partially cover. Simmer until top of each hominy blooms and opens up from the top, 2½-3 hours. Season with kosher salt.
