Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 3 medium roma tomatoes
- 2 cups hominy (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 large lime (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh produce. Dice the zucchini into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Chop the roma tomatoes into small chunks. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, or until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the zucchini to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, drained hominy, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat everything in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the zucchini to become tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Squeeze fresh lime juice over individual servings for an added bright, tangy flavor.
