PORK AND HOMINY STEW
This pork hominy stew, also known as pozole, is a delicious southwestern delicacy. I moved it to the slow cooker so it can simmer away on its own. The rich, brothy soup is delicious, much like a tamale in a bowl. -Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

PORK & HOMINY IN RED CHILES SOUP/STEW
This untried dish is reminiscent of the more common chili verde except that the stock is made from dried rather than fresh chiles. As a big fan of the smoky ancho, it appeals to me and will soon make an appearance on my dinner table. In the meantime, I'm posting here for my fellow foodies.

PORK AND HOMINY STEW WITH RED CHILES
Steps:
- Peel garlic and reserve 2 whole cloves, then slice remaining cloves. Combine sliced garlic, pork, water, and broth in a 7- to 8-quart heavy pot and bring to a boil, skimming froth.

- Meanwhile, discard stems from chiles (do not seed), then soak in boiling-hot water (1 1/2 cups) in a bowl, turning occasionally, until softened, about 30 minutes (do not drain). Purée chiles with soaking water, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and reserved garlic cloves in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute.

Tips:
- Use a variety of pork cuts. This will give your stew a more complex flavor. Good choices include pork shoulder, pork loin, and pork ribs.
- Sear the pork before stewing. This will help to brown the meat and develop its flavor.
- Use a good quality hominy. Hominy is a type of corn that has been treated with an alkali solution, which removes the hull and germ. This results in a chewy, slightly sweet kernel that is perfect for stews.
- Add some spice to your stew. Red chiles are a traditional ingredient in pork and hominy stew, but you can also use other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
- Don't overcook the stew. Pork and hominy stew is best when it is cooked until the pork is tender and the hominy is slightly chewy. Overcooking will make the pork tough and the hominy mushy.
Conclusion:
Pork and hominy stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting meal, give this stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
