Vegetarian Chili Verde
Makes 6 servings.
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large fresh poblano chiles, seeded; 1 diced, 1 cut into 4 strips
1 sweet potato (8 oz.) peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1 Yukon Gold potato (8 oz.) peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1 cup chopped onion
4 large tomatillos (8 to 9 oz. total) husked, rinsed, cored, and chopped
4 large garlic cloves, smashed and chipped
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 cans (15 oz. each) hominy with juices
1 cup vegetable broth
1 can (7 oz.) diced mild green chiles
In a heavy large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add both of the poblanos, the sweet potato, Yukon Gold potato, onion, tomatillos and garlic. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Mix in the flour, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Add the hominy with juices and the broth and bring to a simmer.
