Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 lb. new red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 (14.5-oz.) can white hominy, drained, rinsed
  • 1 (14 1/2-oz.) can ready-to-serve vegetable broth
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise, cut into 1/4- inch slices (1 cup)
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is crisp-tender and garlic just begins to brown, stirring frequently.
  • 2
    Add all remaining ingredients except zucchini and cilantro. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes.
  • 3
    Add zucchini; simmer uncovered an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Sprinkle with cilantro.

  • This vegetable stew is reminiscent of posole, a traditional Mexican main-course soup made with pork or chicken, broth, hominy, onion, garlic, dried chiles and cilantro.
  • Hominy is white or yellow corn kernels from which the hull and germ have been removed.
  • Accompany this stew with cheese nachos: Place tortilla chips on a microwave-safe plate and sprinkle them with shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 30 to 60 seconds or until the cheese is melted. Iced tea with lime or flavored sparkling water completes the meal.
