Method for "Authentic Mexican Pozole"
This recipe requires a simple prep. Prepare the onion, peel the garlic, chop the onion, peel and chop the 2 garlic cloves, chop the green chilies and jalapenos if you are using them and get the hominy drained and rinsed. You may boil your ancho chilies in a separate small pot for the garnish part(read below). Now you are ready to cook. Place the meat in a large saucepan and just cover with lightly salted water. Add the onion, 2 cloves peeled garlic, pepper, cumin, and oregano. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove meat and broth, reserving both. Saute the chopped onion and garlic in oil until translucent. Add the remaining spices, stir for a minute. Cut the reserved pork into 1 inch cubes and add to the pan. Stir in the canned hominy, pork broth (if there is not enough pork broth, add chicken stock, about 2-4 cups, eyeball the amount you like), green chilies and jalapenos (optional). Cook at a simmer, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes until the meat and hominy are tender. If necessary, cook for up to an additional 60 minutes until the chilies and onions are well blended into the broth. Degrease the stew, taste for salt, and serve in soup bowls. This is a delicious recipe and well worth the effort to make. Garnishes that are always served with are:- lots of lime/lemon wedges. Sliced radishes. Chopped cilantro. Shredded cabbage(not red). Fresh/ packaged fried corn tortillas. When your ancho chilies are soft from boiling(takes about 15 minutes), then put them in the blender with 1 1/2cups of water, 1 clove of garlic and about 2 tablespoons diced onion, and about 1 tablespoons of salt and pepper. The remaining liquid you put in a serving dish for guests to add in their own bowl, if desired.
