How to Prepare Red Pozole: Mexican Stew With Jackfruit, Corn, and Chiles [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Add all the soup ingredients to a pressure cooker.
  2. Pressure cook the soup for 30 minutes, allowing for natural release. If you're cooking on the stove-top, cook, partially covered over medium heat for 1 hour.
  3. Add more water as it reduces. Remove and discard the cilantro and bay.
  4. Set the soup aside.
  5. Add the chiles, onion, garlic, clove, cumin, and water to a medium saucepan. Bring everything to a boil, reduce the mixture to a simmer, cover it,  and cook it, until tender. This should take about 10 minutes.
  6. Blend the pot of chili and water and pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Press out as much of the pulp as possible.
  7. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the chili puree.
  8. Cook it, stirring it occasionally until the mixture thickens. This should take about 6-8 minutes.
  9. Add the reduced puree to the soup.
  10. Bring the soup back to a boil and cook it for 20 minutes to marry the flavors.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning as you like.
  12. Serve the soup hot with the toppings, as desired.
