• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth

• 1 large lime (optional, for serving)

Step 1

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.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, drained hominy, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat everything in the spices.
