I make pozole for most of our holiday meals, and I often prepare pozole with hominy as the main ingredient since my sister is a vegetarian. Here are some substitutions to consider to make it vegetarian and vegan-friendly. • Use Vegetable Better Than Bouillon. • In place of meat, double the hominy, using 2 - 29 oz cans instead, or add mushrooms, jackfruit, chickpeas, poblano peppers, pinto beans, and corn.
