From mbeards2 15 years agoIngredients
- 1 pound posole, washed well shopping list
- 6 cups cold water shopping list
- 5 medium onions, coarsely chopped shopping list
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed shopping list
- 4 tablespoons cooking oil shopping list
- 3 pounds boned pork, cut in 3/4-inch cubes shopping list
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaf, crumbled shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme shopping list
- 2 teaspoons salt (or more as needed to taste) shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
- 1 2/3 cups chicken broth shopping list
- 1 10-ounce can whole green chilies, drained and cut in long strips shopping list
- 1-3 jalapeno peppers, minced ( 1 pepper makes a mild posole; 3, a torrid one) shopping list
How to make it
- Place the posole and water in a large, heavy pot; bring to a simmer, cover and cook slowly until the kernels burst and are almost tender (about 3 1/2 hours).
- When the posole is almost done, lightly brown the onions and garlic in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil; drain on paper towels.
- Add another 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and brown the pork cubes, a few at a time. Drain on paper towels.
- Add onion, garlic, pork; add all remaining ingredients to the posole; mix well and simmer covered for 3 more hours.
- Taste for salt and adjust as needed.
- Serve in large soup plates and pass a rich red chili sauce for topping if desired.
- NOTES:As you can see, this can take all day to make. If you don't have the time, I've successfully used 3 cans of white hominy. You skip the first step and proceed with the cooking of the onions and garlic.
