Green Posole with Cod and Coriander

This vibrant green posole with cod and coriander is a fresh, contemporary take on the classic Mexican stew. By using tomatillos and plenty of fresh herbs, the broth achieves a zesty, bright flavour that perfectly complements the delicate flakes of white fish. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a light yet satisfying dinner that celebrates clean flavours and nutritious ingredients.

As a naturally dairy-free main course, this dish is ideal for mid-week dining or a relaxed weekend lunch with friends. The addition of hominy provides a lovely chewy texture, while the radish and chilli garnish adds an essential crunch and a hint of heat. Serve it in deep bowls with plenty of lime wedges to squeeze over just before eating.

How to make Green Posole with Cod and Coriander

Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Cook shallots, garlic, and half of chillies, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 6–8 minutes.

Meanwhile, purée tomatillos in a blender until smooth.

Add half of tomatillo purée to pot and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup coriander to remaining purée in blender and blend until smooth; set aside.

Add cod, hominy, clam juice, and 240ml water to pot. Bring to a simmer and gently cook over medium-low until cod is opaque throughout and beginning to flake, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in reserved raw tomatillo-coriander purée, breaking cod into large chunks; season with salt and pepper.

Divide stew among bowls and top with radishes, coriander, and remaining chilli. Serve with lime wedges.
