1 thinly sliced medium onion
2 tablespoons chile paste

GRINGO POSOLE



Gringo Posole image

My own version of posole! Stew made with hominy, garlic, peppers and pork meat. This is made in the slow cooker. I tried to make the stew as colorful as possible, which is why I use both white and yellow hominy and green and red bell peppers. This recipe is best the next day reheated. I love it best with cornbread or EVEN BETTER, fresh flour tortillas. It is awesome on a cold winter day and is great to take to pot luck dinners. Can be doubled or reduced in size to accommodate any number of people, and is a relatively foolproof recipe!

1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cubes beef bouillon
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®), undrained

POSOLE (MEXICAN SOUP WITH PORK AND HOMINY)



Posole (Mexican soup with pork and hominy) image

This recipe was taught to me by my friend Mary, who was raised in Mexico, when she learned that I didn't like Menudo. She adds a whole jalepeno to the recipe, but that's to hot for me. The prep and cook time doesn't include cook time for the pork.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN POZOLE



Authentic Mexican Pozole image

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.

Time 1h25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lbs pork shoulder
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons california chili powder
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon oregano
4 cups canned white hominy, drained and rinsed
3 -5 cups pork broth, from cooking pork shoulder
1 cup canned diced green chilis (optional)
salt
2 whole fresh jalapenos, chopped (optional)
3 whole ancho chilies, seeded and stemmed (garnish) (optional)

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!
