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)

4 cups canned chicken broth or homemade low-sodium chicken stock
Two (15-ounce) cans hominy (drained and rinsed )

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 8h40m

Yield 12 Sandwiches, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 29

3 1/2 lbs pork butt (or shoulder)
2 tablespoons seasoning (McCormick Mojito Lime)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt (Himalayan pink salt preferred)
5 garlic cloves, minced, separated
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (Kraft Original Thick and Spicy )
1 cup barbecue sauce (Open Pit Original )
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup yellow mustard (Heinz)
1/3 cup steak sauce (A-1)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced (medium or large)
2 cups water (to cover, as needed)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
12 sandwich buns (hamburger buns, 24 slider buns, or dinner rolls.)
1 head green cabbage, cored and shredded
2 tablespoons onions (finely diced)
1 large carrot (shredded)
2/3 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's Real)
3 tablespoons salad dressing (Newman's Own Creamy Caesar)
1 tablespoon malt vinegar (Heinz)
1 teaspoon wasabi (Kikoman sauce)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • PREPARE BARBECUE PULLED PORK ROAST.
  • Trim excess fat from the pork (Butt, Roast, or Shoulder). Leave some for flavor, but trimming now will reduce what you will need to skim off at the end of cooking.
  • Place the Mojito Lime Seasoning, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a large bowl. Add oil to make a paste. Rub all over the pork, working the spice mixture into the meat well.
  • Wrap the pork tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Transfer the pork to a roasting pan with a rack. Allow to stand at room temperature while the oven heats to 400⁰ (F). Cook for 20 minutes. (preferably with convection) Transfer to a slow cooker.
  • Blend the Kraft Original Thick & Spicy BBQ Sauce, Open Pit Original BBQ Sauce, dark brown sugar, mustard, A-1, Worcestershire, remaining garlic, and onion (reserve 2 TBS onion for the coleslaw.) Pour the mixture over the pork and add water to cover. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until *very* tender.
  • When pork is tender, skim off any fat. Transfer the pork to a large bowl. Use two forks to separate the meat into long strands (large serving forks work great.).
  • Remove 2 cups of cooking juices to a saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Set aside.
  • Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker; stir to combine with the remaining cooking juices.
  • PREPARE COLESLAW.
  • Core and shred cabbage into longish strands. Shred the carrot. Finely dice the onion.
  • Combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion in a large bowl.
  • In a separate medium bowl, Whisk the salad dressings, Sweet 'N Low® (or sugar), vinegar, wasabi, salt, and celery seeds and blend thoroughly.
  • Pour dressing mixture over shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion. Mix and toss to coat. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve the pulled pork on soft rolls and drizzle with thickened sauce mixture to taste. Top with coleslaw or serve on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of dried chiles. This will give your pozole a more complex flavor. Some good options include ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles.
  • Toast the chiles before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality pork shoulder. This will make your pozole more flavorful and tender.
  • Brown the pork shoulder before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop its flavor.
  • Add hominy to the slow cooker along with the pork shoulder. Hominy is a type of dried corn that is used in many Mexican dishes.
  • Season the pozole with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as oregano, chili powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Cook the pozole on low for 8-10 hours. This will allow the pork shoulder to become very tender and the hominy to soften.
  • Serve the pozole with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cabbage, radishes, cilantro, lime wedges, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Pozole is a delicious and hearty Mexican soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a very versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your pozole spicy or mild, with or without hominy, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting meal, give pozole a try!
