My non-veg husband was heading to the kitchen for seconds and asked if I thought I could "duplicate" that recipe again Got it from Dr. McDougall's February Newsletter emailed to me today. Recipe by Jesse Miner - Vegan Personal Chef www.chefjesseminer.com – 650-274-8089 Red Posole Comforting Mexican stew featuring hominy, beans and vegetables subtly spiced with New Mexican chile powder. Serves 8. 1/4 cup vegetable broth, or water (see below) 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced 1 bell pepper, diced 1 stalk celery, diced 1 carrot, peeled and diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 5 sage leaves, minced (I didn't use these) 1 tablespoon New Mexican red chile powder (I don't like it too spicy, so only used 1 1/2 tsp.) 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon salt (I added 1/2 tsp. of ground oregano) 28 ounces hominy, drained and rinsed 30 ounces pinto beans, drained and rinsed 15 ounces diced tomatoes, with juices (I used Muir Glen Fire Roasted crushed tomatoes) 3 cups vegetable broth, or water ( I used 3 Not-Beef vegan beef flavored bouillon cubes by Edward & Sons dissolved in hot water) Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable broth in large pot over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, carrot and garlic and sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sage, chile powder, cumin, coriander,(oregano) and salt and stir to combine. Add hominy, pinto beans, diced tomatoes and 3 cups of vegetable broth. Turn up heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a rapid simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, until stew has reduced to desired thick consistency. Note: If using dried hominy and pinto beans, cook 1/2 pound of each, and then add cooked hominy and pinto as directed above. Great online resource for dried hominy, beans and spices: Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food - www.ranchogordo.com Taste similiar to chili.......yummy!

I bought access to watch the Advanced Study weekend (well worth the $100 pre-show sale, BTW)...and was hoping to get this recipe somewhere. It looked so good while I was watching it...that I went on line to Rancho Gordo and ordered the dried hominy (and a slew of heirloom beans) before the presentation was even done!

Don't you love it when those kinds of things happen! I had thought about getting the pre-show sale also. Really wanted to attend, but with all going on in our lives right now wasn't a good time. My dream is to attend one of Dr. & Mrs. McDougall's Costa Rica trips. I'm hinting to my husband about the July trip. October will be our 40th Anniversary, and was thinking it would be fun to celebrate by going someplace we've never been. McDougall's program, health information etc., and a week of good vegan food would be an added bonus.

I'm nearly local to most of the McDougall events (the ones in Santa Rosa)...and hope to actually participate in one someday. Gotta save my pennies! But watching it on-line has been a lot of fun! I've re-watched several already. I'll have access to all the videos for a couple of months. Very inspiring, and lots of great information.

Very inspiring, and lots of great information. How lucky to live so close by Dr. McDougall! I subscribe to his monthly newletter and have for a long time. I also have several of his DVD's and books. I attended Weimar Institute's NEWSTART program in Feb. 2001, which is very similiar to McDougalls program. Also in Northern, CA. It was an 18-day live-in program and was an awesome experience. Mostly due to the fact that I was just doing something very positive for "myself" for a change. I was very diligent for about 7 months before falling off the program. Was sending out a monthly newsletter for our group, which was helping with support and accountibility too. I never forgot how good I felt and how "skinny" I got etc. It was expensive too, so felt badly about paying all that money and not following through. I had 3 major deaths in my family around that time and soon after. I was in charge of the estates etc. Took so much of my time for a few years and I put myself & my health on the back burner once again.......always knowing in the back of my mind it was the best thing I had ever done "just for me". After 9 years and major health issues popping up, decided this was my year to "vegan again"! I want my health back! This forum is so great for the "support" & accountibility. I'm grateful to the 21-day Kickstart for helping me to get going again, as I've tried on my own a few times. I'm also very grateful to all who share on these forums too Craftycat - Southern, CA ~Isaiah 43: 18 & 19 - "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!"
