Chicken Pozole Rojo

salt (divided)

New Mexico or guajillo chiles (rinsed, stemmed, and seeded)

(15.5-ounce) cans BUSH’S White Hominy (rinsed and drained)

Shredded cabbage

Limes

oregano

In a 6-quart caldero place chicken, onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil and then lower heat to medium-low for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

In a large bowl filled with hot water add dried chiles until the chiles have softened about 10 to 15 minutes. Discard liquid.

Shred the chicken into small pieces.

In a blender combine 1 cup of the cooked chicken broth with onions, garlic, and softened chiles with 1 teaspoon of salt and blend. Reserve the remaining chicken broth.

Add the shredded chicken, blended sauce, and White Hominy to the caldero with reserved broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. If necessary, season with salt.

Spoon pozole into soup bowls. Let your guests add the garnishes to suit their own taste. Serve with tostadas.
