If you are a fan of Mexican cuisine, you have probably heard of pozole. This traditional dish is not only delicious but also packed with flavor. One of the most popular variations is the red pozole, which combines tender meat, hominy corn, and a rich, savory broth.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of pork shoulder
  • 6 cups of water
  • 2 cups of dried hominy corn
  • 2 dried ancho chili peppers
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons of dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Prepare the Hominy Corn

Start by rinsing the dried hominy corn under cold water. In a large pot, combine the hominy corn with 4 cups of water and let it soak overnight. The next day, drain the water and rinse the hominy corn again.

Step 2: Cook the Pork

Cut the pork shoulder into small chunks and place them in a pot. Add enough water to cover the meat, and bring it to a boil. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 hour or until the pork is tender.

Step 3: Prepare the Chili Sauce

In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove the stems and seeds from the dried ancho chili peppers and add them to the boiling water. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the peppers are softened. Transfer the chili peppers to a blender, add the chopped onion, garlic cloves, oregano, salt, and pepper. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients

Add the drained hominy corn and chili sauce to the pot with the cooked pork. Stir well to combine all the flavors. If needed, add more water to achieve your desired consistency. Let the pozole simmer for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Ladle the piping hot pozole into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings. Traditional toppings include chopped onion, shredded lettuce, sliced radishes, and a squeeze of lime juice.
