Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a sauce pan, combine the pork cubes and salt with the water. Bring
  • to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer gently, uncovered,
  • until barely tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let
  • the pork cool in the liquid. Drain, reserving the liquid in a bowl.
  • Set the meat aside, covering it with a damp towel.
  • Place the ancho chilies in the reserved warm cooking liquid and let
  • soak for 20 minutes. Transfer the liquid and chilies to a blender. Add
  • the garlic and cumin and puree. Set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add
  • the onion and saute until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Add the
  • pureed chili mixture, hominy, tomatoes and chicken or pork stock, adding more
  • stock if needed for a more soupy consistency. Stir in the reserved
  • pork. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer
  • gently, uncovered, until the pork is fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Ladle the stew into warmed shallow bowls. Arrange the garnishes in
  • small bowls and let guests add to the stew to taste.
