POSOLE AND SAUSAGES

Servings: 4
Ingredients:

6    Hot Italian style sausages
2 md Onions; roughly diced
3    Green (unripe) tomatoes
1 tb Tomato paste
2 c  Cooked hominy
1 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Salt; or as desired
1/2 ts Black pepper; or to taste
1 1/2 c  Hominy liquid
2 tb Chopped parsley
Lime slices

CUT EACH SAUSAGE INTO 4 PIECES. Place in a 3-quart pot, place over
medium heat on the stove and cook, 5 minutes. Pour off and discard
fat and reserve the sausages on a plate. Add the onions and cook,
stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, or until the onion softens. Halve
tomatoes cross- wise, lay each half cut side down and cut each half
into 6ths. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot and cook,
stirring, 2 minutes. Add the hominy, oregano, salt, pepper and hominy
water. Cover, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to
medium and simmer 20 minutes. When it’s time to get dinner on the
table, replace the sausages in the pot and cook 7 minutes. Remove
from the heat and add the parsley. Divide the ingredients between 4
soup bowls and garnish with lime slices. Serve warm tortillas instead
of bread.
