Pozole is a traditional soup or stew from Mexico. Variations use different kinds of meat, like beef, chicken, turkey or even pork rinds instead of the pork used here. But the hominy is the constant.

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons neutral oil
2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 large onion, chopped
Salt and ground black pepper
4 dried chipotle, ancho or gaujillo chiles
2 cups dried hominy, soaked in a couple of changes of water for 8 to 12 hours
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, or 2 teaspoons dried
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Lime wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Put oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, add pork and onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork and onions are deeply browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pull off whatever stems you can from chiles; break them in half and pour or scrape out some or all of the seeds. (The more you leave in, the hotter the stew will be.) When pork and onions are browned, add chiles, hominy, oregano and cumin. Add water to cover everything by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then adjust heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more liquid if necessary, until pork and hominy are tender, at least 1 1/2 hours.
  • If you like, fish out and discard chile pieces, or chop them up and stir them back into the pot. Stir in garlic and cook a few minutes more; taste and adjust the seasoning. The mixture should be a little soupy. Serve in bowls, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.

This pozole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best pozole he's ever had. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less chili peppers.

This pozole recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were incredibly rich and complex, and the pork was fall-apart tender. I'll definitely be making this again.
