Hominy Soup with Greens (Pozole Verde)

1/2 cup hulled, raw pumpkin seeds, toasted
2 cups tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed, quartered
10 large sorrel leaves, rinsed, stemmed
2 serrano chile peppers, seeded, quartered
2 tablespoons oil
3-1/2 cups cooked hominy
4 cups chicken broth
1 large epazote stem
Salt, to taste

Grind the pumpkin seeds in a food processor finely; set aside. Place the chopped tomatillos in a saucepan covered with 1/2 cup water. cook until soft and mushy—about 15 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to a blender jar. Add the sorrel, serrano chiles, and 1 cup of water. purée until smooth.

Heat oil in a skillet. Add blended ingredients and fry over fairly high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the ground seeds and cook 10 minutes longer. Add the hominy, broth, and epazote. Simmer for 15 minutes, then season with salt.
