Pozole con Pescado
Alliance for a Healthier Generation's 2012 Rachael Ray's Yum-o! Healthy School Meal Contest Winning Recipe
Pozole, a soup made with hominy, is a favorite dish for Oakland Unified SD's Mexican students. While pozole is traditionally made with pork or chicken, this soup would be a great vehicle to serve fish that isn't fried and breaded.
