Extra Pork Pozole
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork shoulder, cut into chunks
- 2 cans (29 oz) hominy, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 dried ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
- 1 dried guajillo chili, stemmed and seeded
- 1 dried pasilla chili, stemmed and seeded
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 8 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toppings: shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, diced onion, and hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the pork chunks and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is tender. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- While the pork is cooking, place the dried chilies in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 20 minutes, then drain and transfer to a blender. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, and cumin to the blender. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed to make a paste.
- Once the pork is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat.
- In the same pot, add the chili paste and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir to coat it with the chili mixture.
- Add the drained hominy and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the pozole hot, with shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, diced onion, and hot sauce on the side for toppings.
