STEP 3

Raise heat to medium-low, and add the zucchini and shredded jackfruit with sauce. Let simmer for 8- 10 mins.  Serve your pozole with all of the toppings on the side.

If you don’t have access to jackfruit you can use 2lbs. of mixed mushrooms or soy curls instead. You can substitute the zucchini with chayote with excellent results. If you like your pozole really spicy serve it with this salsa macha from Mexico in my Kitchen
