Ingredients 

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
    2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • Stir in the chili powder, then immediately add the squash, chile peppers, oregano, cumin, garlic, and salt.
    1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 medium butternut squash, 1 poblano chile pepper, 1 Anaheim chile pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 3 garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers soften and the spices are evenly distributed over the squash, about 5 minutes.
  • Add water (or stock) and tomatoes, then cover and bring to a slow boil.
    5 cups water or vegetable stock, 15 ounces diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • Uncover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the hominy and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
    15 ounces hominy
  • Top with avocado before serving.
    1 avocado

Notes

This recipe is for 4 servings of posole.
To reduce the sodium, use no-salt-added canned tomatoes or skip the additional Kosher salt.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
