Pork and green chile posole is a traditional Mexican soup or stew that is made with hominy, pork, and green chiles. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. There are many different variations of posole, but the basic ingredients are always the same. Hominy is a type of dried corn that is made by soaking and cooking the kernels in an alkaline solution. This process gives the hominy a unique flavor and texture. Pork is the most common meat used in posole, but you can also use chicken or beef. Green chiles add a spicy kick to the soup, but you can adjust the amount of heat by using different types of chiles or by removing the seeds.

Steps:

  • Cut the pork into bite size pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with green chile spice blend. Toss to coat the pork pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Chop the onion and the garlic.
  • Heat a large soup pot over medium heat.
  • Heat the oil. When hot, add the pork, onion and garlic. Increase the heat to medium high to brown the meat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the water/stock. Bring to a boil. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the chile and salt.

PORK GREEN CHILE



Pork Green Chile image

A simple and, in my opinion, authentic version, this recipe comes down at least 3 or 4 generations of my family. You will know it's done when the sauce has a medium thickness. Remember, the longer it cooks, the better it will taste. You can serve smothered over burritos or with warm tortillas, beans and/or fried potatoes. Also delicious with fried eggs (Huevos rancheros). Substitute 4 or 5 chopped roasted chiles for green chiles and jalapenos if you prefer.

POSOLE WITH CHICKEN & PORK



Posole With Chicken & Pork image

Posole or Pozole (both spellings are correct). This is a traditional Southwestern savory stew made with a specific variety of corn , pork chicken and/or beef and green chile. It's a hearty, authentic meal, perfect for anytime. This recipe is derived from #8545, but I made so many changes I decided it was worthy of a new recipe especially since it turned out so wonderful and it's a healthier version.

  • Add onions, garlic and saute until tender.
  • Add chicken.
  • Add water and broth, stir well.
  • Place 1 tub of green chiles in blender and puree. Them add to pan.
  • Add second tub to pan.
  • Add garlic salt, cumin, Mexican oregano and menudo spice mix. I used all but about 1 tablespoon of the menudo mix. I suggest adding small amounts until it is strong enough. Stir well.
  • Add cilantro.
  • Lower heat and simmer 3 hours.
  • Add hominy and simmer until warm throughout. About 15 minutes.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • I have found the frozen green chiles and menudo mix at Kroger Signature & Wal-Mart grocery stores.
  • Actually I used a whole Beer Can Chicken off my smoker that most of the fat had been cooked off. I tossed the skin. That is why I suggested using rotiserie chicken.
