Posole is a type of hominy stew or soup. There are numerous variations online and within the culture. Most cook it with park tripes...but as my mother was deathly allergic to pork, mom used beef tripe, yellow onions, mellow chili peppers, a chicken stock, cilantro and tomato for seasoning. Salt and pepper was added by the person eating it. It was considered poor folks food...but I always considered it a treat. I went to a trendy restaurant last month and it had posole on it's International soups menu. For the amount they charged for a bowl my mother could have made ten pots worth. It's interesting to see "poor folk food" be it Hispanic, French or Thai, suddenly become haute cuisine.

I make various vegan/veggie versions of it !
