Red Posole Recipe

guajillo chiles, (seeds removed)

ancho chiles, (seeds removed)

arbol

water

coarse sea salt

chili powder

cumin powder

garlic ((about 2 cloves))

chocolate

pork

coarse kosher salt

black pepper

olive oil

chicken broth ((or beef or vegetable broth))

white hominy, (drained and rinsed (about 4 cups))

oregano

In a large bowl, combine the dried chiles and 3 cups of hot water. Cover the bowl with a large plate or aluminum foil, and let the chiles soak for about 5-10 minutes, until softened.

Transfer the softened chiles and the water they soaked in into a large blender. Add the salt, chili powder, cumin powder, minced garlic and Mexican chocolate. Blend until completely smooth.

Make the sauce

Season the pork with salt and black pepper. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in the cooking oil and then the pork. Sear on all sides until nicely browned.

Add the red chile sauce and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen all the brown bits.

Sear the pork

Add the chicken broth and stir until the red chile sauce and broth are fully mixed together. Bring the pot to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cover. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, until the pork is fall apart tender.

Shred the pork with a fork or spatula (it should fall apart very easily). Add the hominy and dried oregano. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Taste and season with more salt, if necessary.

Serve with toppings such as finely shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, thinly sliced radishes, diced onions, dried oregano and red pepper flakes.

 Mexican Pozole Verde (Green Pozole ) 

flavorful chicken stock (see notes)

tsp kosher salt

coriander

dried Mexican oregano

cumin

chicken breasts (or use thighs)

——–

tomatillos,

onion, rough chopped

poblano chilies,

jalapeno, seeded and halved (add 1 more for extra spicy)

garlic cloves

——-

whole bunch cilantro, tender stems OK

Cook the chicken

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, bring the chicken stock, salt, coriander, cumin, oregano, epazote, cumin and pepper to a boil. Add the chicken breasts, cover and simmer gently over low heat until they&#8217;re tender and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and shred the meat, skim the stock, and return the chicken back to the stock.

Make the Verde Sauce

In a blender, add one cup of water. Add tomatillos, onion, garlic, poblanos and jalapeno garlic. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides if necessary.

In a skillet,  heat the oil and add tomatillo puree and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce turns a deep green, about  10 minutes.  To the blender ( it&#8217;s ok if its not rinsed) ladle in 1 cup of broth from the chicken soup pot, set aside.

Pour the cooked Verde sauce into the chicken soup pot. Add the 3 cups of the hominy (reserving 1 cup) and bring to a gentle simmer over moderate heat.

Add the cilantro and their tender stems  into the blender with the chicken stock, cover tightly with a kitchen towel and blend until smooth. Add the reserved 1 cup of hominy. Blend again until smooth. If you need more liquid to get the blender going, just ladle from the pot.  Add this to the soup.

Taste the soup.  Season with salt, pepper and cook on warm just until heated through -do not boil, or you will lose the lovely color. If soup lacks depth, add more salt and or a couple of chicken bouillon cubes ( or a couple teaspoons of chicken boullion paste or even a splash of soy sauce). The goal here is to get enough depth in the soup to balance out the tartness from the tomatillos and heat from the chilies.

Serve the Posole in bowls, along with sour cream and any or all of the sides, letting people add whatever toppings they want.

Yes i used Pinto Beans, didn't miss the chicken at all

Fabulous recipe. So worth cooking with dried beans and hominy to create the depth in the soup base. I would make this again!  Zack's heirloom corn chips complemented this stew perfectly!

So, so good!! Even my 5 year old loved it.
