NEW MEXICO POSOLE RECIPE WITH PORK (PORK POZOLE VERDE)

Steps:

• If using dried posole, soak overnight in enough water to cover by two inches. If using frozen hominy you don't need to soak overnight.
• Cut pork roast into large bite sized chunks. Remove excess fat as you cut.
• Heat a 6 - 7 quart soup pot, or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Once the pot is hot, add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add pieces of pork. Don't over-crowd and sear in batches. Searing both sides. As you sear, remove the pork to a plate and continue with remaining pieces of pork.
• Add all of the browned pork back into the soup pot. Add remaining ingredients. Add more water or broth if needed to cover all the ingredients.
• Bring to a boil, turn down heat to a simmer and cover with a lid, leaving lid ajar.
• Cook on low for 2 - 3 hours or until pork and posole are tender. If using canned Hominy, add the drained hominy once the pork is tender. Simmer for another 15 minutes.
• Remove chile pods and bay leaf. If you want to take the time. Place cooked chile pods into a grinder, along with 1/4 cup of the broth. Grind to a smooth consistency and return to the soup.
• Ladle the posole into bowls. Pass with the cilantro, onion, jalapeño, chopped tomatoes or even some thin sliced cabbage, and lime wedges at the table.
