Slow-Cooked Pork Pozole with Red Chile and Hominy Recipe

Ingredients:

4 oz of dried chile (choose your favorite combination or mix all three, ancho, guajillo, or Arbol)

2 tablespoons of corn oil or canola oil

2 pounds of boneless pork shoulder, cut in large chunks

1 tablespoon oregano

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons pepper

1 (25 oz) can of Juanita’s Mexican Style Hominy, rinsed and drained (add a second can if you want extra hominy)

1 medium onion, diced

6 cloves of garlic, peeled

8 cups of water or chicken broth

Optional pozole toppings: lime, shredded cabbage, radish, avocado, onion, chile flakes, tortillas, or tostadas

Directions:

Remove stems and seeds from chiles and place them in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and soak for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Add pork, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Once the pork is seared on all sides, place it in the slow cooker.

Place soaked chiles in a blender with 1-1/2 cups of the liquid and puree until smooth. Place fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour in the chile paste through the strainer to remove any large pieces. Taste the paste and add salt and/or pepper if needed.

Add hominy, chile paste, garlic, and onion to the meat and stir well. Add 8 cups of water or chicken broth and cover.

Heat on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.

Serve with optional toppings.
