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
Sliced radishes
Fried corn tortilla strips or tortilla chips
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker on high until warm, about 20 minutes. Season the pork with salt.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil. Add the pork to the skillet and cook, turning as needed, until the pieces are browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onion, garlic, and chili powder and sauté until softened, about 6 minutes.
  • Add 2 cups broth and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Transfer everything in the skillet to the slow cooker along with 2 cups broth. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
  • Using tongs or a slotted spoon transfer the pork to a large bowl and, using 2 forks, shred the pork. Return the pork to the slow cooker and stir in the hominy. Stir to combine and to warm the pork. Season with salt to taste.
  • Serve the posole with avocado, radishes, tortilla strips, and lime on the side for each person to add as desired.

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 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.

Time 5h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans white hominy, drained and rinsed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
2 chicken bouillon cubes
4 cups water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, garlic, hominy, onion, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, bouillon cubes and water in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours.
  • Remove cover and stir in tomatoes, lime juice, salt and pepper until warmed through. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for pozole because it is fatty and flavorful. If you are using a leaner cut of pork, you can add some extra fat to the pot, such as bacon or lard.
  • Soak the hominy overnight: This will help to soften the hominy and make it easier to cook. If you don't have time to soak the hominy overnight, you can quick-soak it by boiling it in water for 30 minutes.
  • Use a variety of chiles: This will give your pozole a complex and flavorful broth. Some good options include ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles. If you don't have any dried chiles on hand, you can use canned or jarred chiles instead.
  • Season the broth well: Pozole should have a rich and flavorful broth. Be sure to season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Pozole is traditionally served with a variety of toppings, such as radishes, diced onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. You can also add other toppings, such as avocado, sour cream, or cheese.

Conclusion:

Pozole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great meal for a party or a potluck, and it is also a good way to use up leftover pork. With so many different variations on the recipe, there is sure to be a pozole that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give pozole a try.
