SLOW COOKER PORK POSOLE
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.

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.

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
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.

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.
