  • Add the chiles, onion, garlic oregano, and soaking liquid to your blender. Blend for 1 minute until smooth.
  • Strain the blended chile base. Discard the chile pulp that remains.
  • In a pot, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat and pour in the chile base. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Cook for 30 minutes until the base has thickened and darkened in color.
  • Drain the canned hominy and rinse.
  • Put the rinsed hominy in a large pot and cover with 2" of water.
  • Simmer while you are preparing the pork and chile base.
  • Now it is time to bring all of the ingredients together.

Time 6h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 ½ pounds pork shanks
1 ½ pounds pork feet
1 medium yellow onion, peeled, but left whole
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut in half
2 stalks celery, cut in half
2 tablespoons kosher salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 large bay leaves
4 quarts water, divided
2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano
12 medium garlic cloves, unpeeled
3 ounces dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 ounce dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 (30 ounce) cans white hominy, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Place pork shoulder in the refrigerator. Transfer pork shanks and feet into a large pot on the stove. Add onion, carrot, and celery, salt, pepper, cumin, and bay leaves. Pour in 3 quarts water. Turn heat to high and bring to a simmer.
  • Skim foam from the surface and add Mexican oregano, rubbing it between your hands as you drop it into the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until pork is tender and will easily come off the bone, about 3 ½ hours.
  • While the pork is simmering, place unpeeled garlic cloves in a dry pan over medium heat. Roast the cloves, shaking the pan occasionally over the heat, until slightly charred on the outside and just starting to get soft on the inside. Remove from the heat and transfer into a bowl to cool.
  • Place guajillo and ancho chile peppers into a 4-cup liquid measuring cup and set a strainer over the top. Ladle some simmering broth from the pot into the strainer until chiles are covered. Let soak until the pork is finished simmering.
  • When pork is finished cooking, set a strainer over a large bowl. Remove pork and vegetables with a slotted spoon and place in the strainer.
  • Meanwhile, peel the cooled garlic cloves and add them to the chile pepper and broth mixture. Puree chile mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Pass pureed chiles through a strainer into the pot of broth. Add a spoonful or two of the broth to the pureed chiles to help it pass through the strainer if needed. Pour the remaining 1 quart of water through the strainer, then add the pork shoulder to the pot. Simmer over medium-low heat.
  • While the pork shoulder simmers, remove bones from pork shanks, then cut shanks and feet into smaller pieces.
  • Once the pork shoulder has simmered for 1 ½ hours, add diced shanks and feet to the pot. Stir in hominy and continue to simmer until pork is very tender, about 1 more hour. Skim any fat from the surface as it cooks and season with more salt if needed.

POSOLE ROJO



Posole Rojo image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup dried chiles de arbol
4 or 5 dried ancho chiles
6 cloves garlic (2 smashed, 4 finely chopped)
Kosher salt
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut in half
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large white onion, chopped
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1 bay leaf
3 15-ounce cans white hominy, drained and rinsed
Diced avocado, shredded cabbage, diced onion, sliced radishes and/or fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Break the stems off the chiles de arbol and ancho chiles and shake out as many seeds as possible. Put the chiles in a bowl and cover with boiling water; weigh down the chiles with a plate to keep them submerged and soak until soft, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chiles and 1 1/2 cups of the soaking liquid to a blender. Add the smashed garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pushing the sauce through with a rubber spatula; discard the solids.
  • Rub the pork all over with the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high. Push the onion and garlic to one side of the pot; add the pork to the other side and sear, turning, until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 2 cups water, the chicken broth, oregano, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of the chile sauce (depending on your taste). Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Partially cover and cook, turning the pork a few times, until tender, about 3 hours.
  • Stir in the hominy and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the pork starts falling apart, about 1 more hour. Remove the bay leaf. Transfer the pork to a cutting board; roughly chop and return to the pot. Add some water or broth if the posole is too thick. Season with salt. Serve with assorted toppings and the remaining chile sauce.

Tips:

  • Use dried posole for a more authentic flavor and texture. If using dried posole, be sure to soak it overnight before cooking.
  • Pork shoulder is the best cut of meat for posole because it is flavorful and tender. If you prefer, you can use chicken or beef instead.
  • To make the posole more flavorful, brown the meat and vegetables before adding them to the pot.
  • Don't be afraid to add more spices to the posole to taste. Common spices used in posole include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the posole with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced avocado, sour cream, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Red posole with pork is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
