AUTHENTIC MEXICAN POZOLE
I've learned this recipe from a friend from Mexico. I don't eat menudo, because the tripe or pig's feet made me nauseous. She always celebrated with this soup and I can eat everything in it without being grossed out! It's very delicious and everyone always get seconds or thirds! Don't forget to garnish! I add lots of lemon juice to my bowl and a dash of salt.

Steps:
- This recipe requires a simple prep.
- Prepare the onion, peel the garlic, chop the onion, peel and chop the 2 garlic cloves, chop the green chilies and jalapenos if you are using them and get the hominy drained and rinsed.
- I boil my ancho chilies in a separate small pot for the garnish part(read below).
- Now you are ready to cook.
- Place the meat in a large saucepan and just cover with lightly salted water.
- Add 1/2 chopped onion, the 2 cloves peeled garlic, pepper, cumin, and oregano.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Remove meat and broth, reserving both.
- Saute the remaining chopped onion and garlic in oil until translucent.
- Add the remaining spices, stir for a minute.
- Cut the reserved pork into 1 inch cubes and add to the pan.
- Stir in the canned hominy, pork broth (if there is not enough pork broth, add chicken stock, I like to add it anyway for flavor, about 2-4 cups, eyeball the amount you like), green chilies and jalapenos (optional).
- Cook at a simmer, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes until the meat and hominy are tender.
- If necessary, cook for up to an additional 60 minutes until the chilies and onions are well blended into the broth.
- Degrease the stew, taste for salt, and serve in soup bowls.
- This is a delicious recipe and well worth the effort to make.
- Garnishes that are always served with are:.
- lots of lime/lemon wedges.
- sliced radishes.
- chopped cilantro.
- Shredded cabbage(not red).
- fresh/ packaged fried corn tortillas.
- When my ancho chilies are soft from boiling(takes about 15 minutes), then i put them in the blender with 1 1/2cups of water, 1 clove of garlic and about 2 tablespoons diced onion, and about 1 tablespoons of salt and pepper. I blend this thin, then strain it to get the liquid separated from its "pulp". I throw the pulp into the soup for the flavor i like but you can discard if too spicy for you. The remaining liquid you put in a serving dish for guests to add in their own bowl, if desired. Beware! It's HOT!

Steps:
- In a large pot bring the chicken stock and water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and simmer over very low heat until they're tender and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and shred the meat.
- In a blender or food processor combine the halved tomatillos with the quartered onion, poblanos and jalapeños, smashed garlic, chopped cilantro and oregano. Pulse until coarsely chopped; stopping occasionally and scraping down the side. With the machine on, add 1 cup of the broth and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the tomatillo puree and cook over medium heat, until the sauce turns a deep green, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
- Pour the green sauce into the broth in the casserole. Add the hominy and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the shredded chicken to the stew, season with salt and pepper and cook just until heated through.
- Serve the pozole in deep bowls, topping with onion, avocado, sour cream, tortilla chips and lime wedges if desired. We just usually eat it with a sprinkling of tortilla strips.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your posole. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, tomatillos, and chiles. You can also use dried chiles, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Bring the chicken to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Season the posole to taste: Posole is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add more chili powder or cumin for a spicier flavor, or add more oregano or cilantro for a more herbal flavor.
- Serve the posole with your favorite toppings: Posole is traditionally served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, and lime wedges. You can also add other toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce.
Conclusion:
Posole is a delicious and hearty Mexican soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With its bold flavors and simple ingredients, posole is sure to become a favorite in your household.
