Posole (Mexican soup with pork and hominy) image

This recipe was taught to me by my friend Mary, who was raised in Mexico, when she learned that I didn't like Menudo. She adds a whole jalepeno to the recipe, but that's to hot for me. The prep and cook time doesn't include cook time for the pork.

I've tried other posole recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The broth is flavorful and the pork is so tender.

I'm not a big fan of hominy, but this recipe changed my mind. The hominy is cooked perfectly and the flavor is amazing.
