For some reason, when I think of Valentine’s Day meals, I always think of staples like spaghetti and meatballs and red wine (I blame Lady and the Tramp for this one). But to be honest, a romantic evening for me only begins with dinner, and in my fantasy, I’m not ending my meal with the top button of my jeans undone due to belly bloat.

So, for this year’s Valentine’s Day meal, I decided to drop tradition, up the spice, and make something that is not only absolutely delicious, but really fun and interactive to assemble and eat. The very best part about this vegan pozole verde recipe is that it’s even better when you make it a day ahead, so all you need to do is warm it up, chop up all your toppings, and indulge come Valentine’s Day. It’s also one of those meals just that feels like it’s been made with love.

Eating this vegan pozole is like getting permission to swim in a bowl of salsa verde, which is a secret dream of mine, and I hope you guys all find it as luxurious and romantic and spicy and wonderful as I do!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
