Pozole Verde
and
Velvety Hominy Soup

Vegetarian pozole verde offers a delightful departure from the traditional Mexican hominy stew typically featuring pork or chicken. This meatless rendition successfully preserves the lively flavors and comforting warmth that characterize classic pozole.

The heart of this dish lies in its rich green broth, which is made by roasting fresh tomatillos, green chiles, onion, and garlic. This roasted blend is then pureed with cilantro, oregano, and cumin resulting in a zesty and herbaceous base that forms the backbone of the vegetarian pozole verde.

Hominy contributes a pleasing corn-infused chewiness to the stew, while meaty avocado chunks replace the role of traditional meat. Lots of various toppings add flavors, textures, and colors.

The beauty of preparing a big pot of vegetarian pozole verde is the possibility of leftover soup and toppings, providing the chance to reimagine them into a completely new rendition which retains the essence of the original flavor profile but evolves into a unique soup with a creamy and velvety texture.

Nobu-Style Dry Miso Octopus Carpaccio

Nobu-Style Dry Miso Octopus Carpaccio

Nobu-Style Octopus Carpaccio
Dry Red Miso, Chives, Lemon Juice, Olive Oil

Dry Miso paired with lemon juice, olive oil, and snipped fresh chives results in an innovative 5-ingredient octopus carpaccio with that unmistakable Nobu touch. The dry miso adds texture, saltiness, and savory umami flavors to the dish.

Red miso paste is a fermented soybean paste with a deep, rich taste that anchors it as a cornerstone in Japanese cuisine. This miso undergoes a longer fermentation process, resulting in a darker hue and a more complex profile than white miso.

Red miso powder represents a creative twist on the traditional Japanese paste. This dehydrated gem captures the bold essence of classic red miso in a powder form, where it can be used in ways that a paste cannot.

Pan-Seared Cod, Braised Fennel, Garlic Cream

This charming rustic cod dish is not meant to be fancy. Caramelized wedges of fennel and onion are simply bathed in a warm garlic cream. Wild Alaska Pacific Cod fillets, with their slightly sweet mild clean taste and lean flaky texture, are pan-seared to develop a light golden-brown crust on the outside while keeping the interior moist and tender.

The rustic approach embodies simplicity. It centers on the use of affordable ingredients and easy preparation techniques that elevate and showcase their basic humble quality.

The golden fillets rest upon the creamy braised vegetables. Scattered with rough-chopped herbs and lemon zest, this is a delightful, delicious dish that’s quick and unfussy yet astonishingly complex in flavor.
