Recipe: Vegetarian "Green" Pozole
FSNYC wholeheartedly thanks Mary Cleaver and The Cleaver Co. for the soul-satisfying eats at this year's Food Almanac. And, a shout out to the Cleaver Co. staff, who kindly volunteered their services!

Served at Food Almanace 2014, pozole is a classic Mexican soup made with white hominy, and traditionally, pork. In this vegetarian version, the Cleaver Co. omitted the meat and added beans and root vegetables, in a flavor packed tomatillo broth. It's still the perfect weather for this hearty one-dish supper. Download the recipe!
