PRESSURE COOKER CHIPOTLE CHICKEN POZOLE
A pressure cooker is the perfect tool for making a quick pozole that tastes like it has simmered for a long time. Traditional red pozole usually requires toasting and puréeing dried chiles for a flavorful broth, but this one relies on canned chipotles for smoky complexity. Chipotles can be fiery, so feel free to use fewer peppers if you're concerned about the heat, but don't skimp on the adobo sauce: It's milder than the peppers and is packed with loads of smoky, garlicky flavor. Serve the soup in bowls with plenty of crumbled cheese, diced avocado and crushed chips, for topping. The slow-cooker version of this dish uses bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, carrots and celery, is available here.

Steps:
- Using the sauté setting, heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker. Add the onion, season it with salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until slightly softened and fragrant, 2 minutes. Turn the sauté setting off.
- Open the can of chipotles and remove the chiles, leaving as much of the adobo sauce behind as possible. (Scrape the sauce off the chiles with your fingers as best you can.) Set the chiles aside and add the adobo sauce to the pressure cooker. Chop 1 to 4 of the chiles until they are almost a paste. (Determine the number of chiles according to your desired level of heat: 1 chile for a very mild soup and 4 for a very spicy soup.) Add the chiles to the pressure cooker. (Store remaining chiles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days and in the freezer indefinitely.)
- Using the sauté setting, add onion and garlic powders, cumin and oregano to the pressure cooker. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken until coated, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt (but hold off on the salt if you are using fully salted broth.) Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then release remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out of the knob along with the steam, carefully close it and wait 5 more minutes before releasing remaining pressure.) Using a ladle, skim excess fat from the surface of the soup, if desired.
- Using the sauté setting, coarsely shred the chicken in the pot using 2 forks. Add the corn and the pozole and simmer until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lime juice and taste; add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve the soup in bowls with the toppings of choice.

Steps:
- Up to two days before (and at least 2 hrs ahead), mix together 75g ketchup with 2 tbsp chipotle, 2 tbsp honey and the vinegar. Rub all over the pork and leave in a food bag (or bowl) in the fridge to marinate, turning occasionally.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Lift the pork into a snug-fitting roasting tin and baste with any excess marinade, plus 100ml water. Cover with foil, ensuring the pork is sealed in but the foil isn't touching it, and bake for 4 hrs.
- Turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or cool and chill the pork, if making ahead). Remove the foil and put the pork back in for 30 mins until crisp and sticky on the outside.
- Lift the pork from the tin and use two forks to shred the meat. Mix together the extra 1 tbsp ketchup with the remaining chipotle and honey, and stir it through the shredded meat with some seasoning before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a bowl toss pork with flour and salt to coat. In a skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork, stirring occasionally. Transfer pork to another bowl.
- Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and cook onion and bell pepper, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add water and cook, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add pozole or pinto beans and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and simmer 3 minutes. Return pork to skillet and heat through. Stir in coriander and remove skillet from heat.
- Reserve 1/2 cup cheese. Put a tortilla on a work surface and mound one fourth pork mixture horizontally just below center of tortilla. Sprinkle pork filling with a heaping tablespoon of remaining cheese. Fold bottom edge of tortilla over filling and fold each side in over filling. Roll burrito away from you to completely enclose filling and make 3 more burritos in same manner with remaining tortillas, filling, and cheese.
- Arrange burritos in a shallow baking pan and sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake burritos until cheese melts and tortillas are crisp, about 10 minutes. While burritos are baking, in a small saucepan heat remaining enchilada sauce over moderate heat until hot.
- Spoon enchilada sauce over burritos.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for fresh pork shoulder, hominy, and vegetables. You can also use dried chipotles, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and flavors: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can adjust it to your own taste. Try adding different types of chili peppers, herbs, or spices. You could also use different types of meat, such as chicken or beef.
- Cook the pork shoulder until it is fall-apart tender: This will take at least 2 hours, but it is worth the wait. The longer you cook the pork, the more flavorful it will be.
- Add the hominy and vegetables towards the end of the cooking time: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the pozole with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include shredded cabbage, diced avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, and crumbled queso fresco.
Conclusion:
Pozole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great option for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for something new and exciting to cook, give pozole a try. You won't be disappointed!
