Cozy up with this comforting Mexican pozole of tender pork, green chiles, hominy, and flavorful spices.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 pound green chile peppers, sliced in half lengthwise and seeded
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 (29 ounce) can white hominy, drained
  • 1 (29 ounce) can yellow hominy, drained
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 0.25 cup ground cumin
  • 0.25 cup chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange the peppers cut side down on the baking sheet.
  • Place peppers under the broiler until the skins blacken and blister, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the blackened peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam as they cool, around 20 minutes. Uncover, peel off and discard the skins, then dice the peppers.
  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic until fragrant and tender, for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Combine the pork with the onions and garlic, stirring until the pork is browned, for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then, mix in the diced green chiles and continue cooking and stirring until fragrant, for about 5 minutes.
  • Combine white and yellow hominy, chicken broth, water, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper with the pork mixture. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat for at least 1 hour until pork is tender and flavors blend.
