MEXICAN POZOLE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cut the pork into chunks. Fairly big pieces are traditional, but if you prefer, cut the pork into bite-sized pieces.
- Put the pork in a large pot and add enough cool water to cover it by about 2 inches (approximately 5 to 6 cups). Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that forms in the pot.
- Remove the stem and seeds from the chiles, and peel the garlic. Add the chiles, garlic, and salt to the pork.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer, cover, and cook until the pork is fork tender, about 90 minutes. Alternatively, put the covered, ovenproof pot in a 350 F oven for the same amount of time.
- After the pork has cooked, add the hominy and the Mexican oregano. Continue cooking at a simmer until the flavors blend and the pork is very tender, for another hour. Add additional water, if necessary, to keep the moisture at a good level, return the mixture to a boil and reduce back down to a simmer when needed. Add salt to taste.
- Serve the pozole in deep bowls.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, scallion, radish, and green cabbage. If you like, squeeze fresh lime juice on top. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Thinly slice 6 of the garlic cloves and add them to a large soup pot with the water, chicken broth, pork, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, skimming the surface to remove froth & fat. Discard the stem from the chiles and combine Chiles with the boiling water in a small bowl. Soak for 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Combine the onion, soaked chiles (along with the liquid), the remaining 2 cloves of garlic, and the salt in an electric blender or food processor and process until smooth. Remove the pork from the broth mixture, reserving the broth. Shred the pork and discard the bones. Return the pork to the broth mixture and add the hominy and chile sauce. Simmer an additional 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Cut the tortillas in half, and then into thin strips. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat and fry them in 3 or 4 batches until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the soup with the garnishes in individual bowls for diners to add at the table. (The garnishes really add to this. We use them all! But I would say the lime adds to it the most.)
POZOLE ROJO - PORK AND HOMINY STEW
This is a labor intensive recipe for those who like to cook and eat well. Pozole is often served at Christmas or the New Year. My mom declares this her favorite recipe. If the stew gets too thick you can add a can of chicken broth. I find it tastes best with a squeeze of lime. From the September 2007 issue of Gourmet magazine.
