Pozole (Hominy Soup)

  • Lightly brown some small diced pork stew (smaller than normal stew meat size) or chicken (could use thighs to cut $$) in corn/canola/olive oil
  • Add some diced onion and green chile (can get in can at super Walmart) and/or some dried red chile (not too much here)
    • Celery and carrot - diced are good to if you want
  • Saute until cooked down but still crunchy
  • Add liquid - chicken broth or veggie broth and some water (not more that 1 to 2 broth)
  • Hominy (at least white and yellow sometimes you can find red and blue but normally dried instead of canned - if you use dried have to soak before or let simmer all day before adding much salt)
  • Add spices (pepper, I always use Zatarians, chile powder, cumin adds a good touch, salt if you do)
  • Simmer for a while (lot longer if dried hominy); add a lime's juice if you wish and a little tequila also if you wish add diced cilantro
Corn bread goes good with this or french bread...
