Posole and Sausages

6 Hot Italian style sausages

2 md Onions; roughly diced

3 Green (unripe) tomatoes

1 tb Tomato paste

2 c Cooked hominy

1 ts Oregano

1/2 ts Salt; or as desired

1/2 ts Black pepper; or to taste

1 1/2 c Hominy liquid

2 tb Chopped parsley

Lime slices CUT EACH SAUSAGE INTO 4 PIECES. Place in a 3-quart pot, place over medium heat on the stove and cook, 5 minutes. Pour off and discard fat and reserve the sausages on a plate. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, or until the onion softens. Halve tomatoes cross- wise, lay each half cut side down and cut each half into 6ths. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the hominy, oregano, salt, pepper and hominy water. Cover, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes. When it's time to get dinner on the table, replace the sausages in the pot and cook 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the parsley. Divide the ingredients between 4 soup bowls and garnish with lime slices. Serve warm tortillas instead of bread.
