Slow Cooker Pork Posole image

Slow cooker pork posole is sorta a cheater's version of authentic Mexican posole, a stew of sorts made with pork, hominy, onions, garlic, and all the traditional toppings. About the only thing missing is the constant need to tend it on the stovetop.

Categories     Mains

Time 4h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (trimmed and cut into 4-inch (10-cm) pieces )
Coarse salt
1 medium white onion (about 1 cup) (chopped, plus more for serving)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tablespoons chili powder
4 cups canned chicken broth or homemade low-sodium chicken stock
Two (15-ounce) cans hominy (drained and rinsed )
Chopped avocado

Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker on high until warm, about 20 minutes. Season the pork with salt.

Time 8h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pasilla chile peppers - stems, seeds, and veins removed
2 ancho chile peppers - stems, seeds, and veins removed
2 guajillo chile peppers - stems, seeds, and veins removed
water, to cover
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 cloves garlic
½ white onion, chopped
5 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 (3 1/2) pound pork shoulder, cut into several large pieces
salt to taste
2 bay leaves
4 cups chicken stock
2 (15.5 ounce) cans white hominy, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Toast the cumin in a small pot over medium-high heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasilla chile peppers, ancho chile peppers, and guajillo chile peppers to the pot. Pour enough water into the pot to cover the peppers completely. Place the garlic cloves, onion, and tomatoes atop the chiles. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Pour the cooled mixture into a blender; puree until smooth.
  • Put the pork in the bottom of a slow cooker; season generously with salt. Add the bay leaves to the slow cooker and pour the pureed chile pepper mixture over the pork.
  • Cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours or overnight. Skim as much fat from the surface as possible. Remove the pork to a cutting board or bowl and shred with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.
  • Combine the shredded pork with sauce, chicken stock, and hominy in a large pot over medium heat; cook until the stock is hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

SLOW COOKER SHORTCUT CHICKEN POZOLE



Slow Cooker Shortcut Chicken Pozole image

Part of the joy of pozole is topping it generously and exactly as you like, and this take on the original dish is no exception. Traditional red pozole often requires toasting and then puréeing dried chiles for a flavorful broth, but this version relies on canned chipotles in adobo sauce. Adjust the chiles to your taste: more if you like it, less if you don't. This brothy, smoky-spicy chicken soup is sensational with crunchy add-ons like crushed chips, shaved cabbage and red onion. The pressure-cooker version of this recipe is available here.

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large red or yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, trimmed and halved
2 celery stalks, halved
8 garlic cloves
1 (7-ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 to 3 1/2 pounds skin-on whole chicken legs (about 5 legs)
5 cups chicken broth or stock
Kosher salt, for seasoning
1 cup frozen corn
1 (29-ounce) can pozole (hominy), rinsed and well drained
Juice of 1 lime, plus more for serving
Crushed chips, shredded cabbage, diced avocado, minced red onion and-or cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Pull the whole chiles out of the can of chipotles in adobo (use only half if you prefer the finished dish to be medium-spicy), and roughly chop them. Add the chiles and all the adobo sauce to the slow cooker as well as the onion and garlic powders and cumin. Pull the skin from half of the chicken legs and discard it, or save to render the fat at another time. (Start at the thigh and pull the skin off the drumstick as if removing a glove; it should come off fairly easily.)
  • Add the chicken legs to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Pour in the broth. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if you are using low-sodium broth or 1 teaspoon salt if using homemade unsalted stock. Do not add salt now if you are using fully salted broth. Cook on low until the chicken is tender and the broth is flavorful, at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. If it's more convenient, let the slow cooker switch to warm after 6 hours. The soup will hold on warm for about an additional 2 hours before the chicken dries out.
  • Switch the heat to high. With tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables to a bowl. Discard the vegetables and let the chicken cool while you finish the soup. Using an immersion blender (see Tip), purée the broth. (It will be mostly smooth but some small flecks of pepper skin may remain.) Stir in the corn, pozole and lime juice. Shred the chicken meat, discarding the bones and skin, and add it into the soup. Replace the cover, let the ingredients warm through and serve the soup in bowls with the toppings of your choice.

SLOW-COOKER POSOLE



Slow-Cooker Posole image

Traditional Mexican Posole is served with shredded cabbage, lime wedges, avocado, onion, cilantro, and, of course, warm tortillas. Many Mexican markets have posole meat already chopped up for you. You can add another can of hominy if your slow-cooker is large. I prefer hot enchilada sauce with salsa, but the regular kind will do.
