ingredients
directions
- Put the pork in a large pot over high heat and cover with water.
- Add the onion, garlic and salt, and boil until tender, about an hour.
- While the pork is cooking, put the pasillas and new mexico chiles into a small saucepan and add just enough water to cover.
- Bring the water to a boil. As soon as it boils, turn off the heat and put a small saucer or bowl on top of the chiles to keep them submerged.
- Let sit for about 20 minutes.
- When the chiles are soft, remove them from the water, reserving the liquid, and remove the stems and seeds.
- Put the chiles in a blender or food processer with enough of the cooking water to process, and blend until smooth.
- When the pork is tender remove it from the pot, reserving the cooking water, and let cool until cool enough to handle.
- Cut or shred into bite sized pieces.
- Strain the cooking water, and return the pork to the pot.
- Add the hominy and processed chiles, bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for about half an hour to blend the flavors. Add more salt if needed, to taste.
- Serve topped with shredded cabbage, radishes, oregano and your favorite hot sauce, if desired.

My DBF went to pick some pozole up for dinner last night and the restraunt was all out. I surpised him with this for dinner tonight. It satisfied both of our cravings and I put some in the freezer to bring to my dad this weekend. I used 4 California chiles in place of the 3 New Mexico chiles because it is what I had on hand. A very easy recipe that is sure to satisfy! Made for PAC 08.

Absolutely delicious! I did not change a thing in this recipe perfect just as it is. Wonderful flavors with authentic taste. This is the only Pozole recipe for me. I will make again. I did change up the toppings however. I squeezed in a half of a lime, added Cholula hot sauce, a blend of jack and cheddar cheese and crushed up some tortilla chips. Yum so good and a hearty meal. Thank you for a great recipe.
