- 3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 4 cups beef broth store-bought or homemade, low-sodium
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
- 5 (15.5-ounce) cans white hominy rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons oregano dried
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder optional
- 4 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder cut into large chunks, or boneless country-style ribs
- 2 bay leaf
- 4 ounces ancho chile about 10 chiles, kept whole with stems and seeds removed, or guajillo chile, dried
- 4 cloves garlic or additional raw garlic, roasted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 (7-ounce) cans diced green chiles with their juices
Optional Toppings
- cilantro chopped, fresh
- radish sliced
- lime wedges
- green cabbage shredded
- jalapeño sliced
Instructions
- Add the oil to the insert of an Instant Pot or pressure cooker, and use the sauté function (on high, if available) to heat, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, poblano, and the 2 diced jalapeños, if using, and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in the broth, liquid smoke, if using, white hominy, oregano, chili powder, if using, seasoned salt, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Stir well.
- Add the pork, bay leaves, and ancho chiles but do not stir. Just make sure the chiles are smoothed out with a mixing spoon on top of everything in the pot.
- Secure the lid, move the valve to the sealing position, and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. When done, allow a 15-minute natural release followed by a quick release (the pin may have dropped on its own at this point).
- Remove and reserve the ancho chiles, discard the bay leaves, and skim off any foam from the surface of the stew, if necessary.
- Transfer 2 cups of the broth from the pot to a blender or food processer and add the reserved ancho chiles, the 2 roughly chopped jalapeños, if using, roasted garlic, and kosher salt. Blend until puréed, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over the Instant Pot and pour in the pureed chile mixture. With a wooden spoon or spatula, firmly press the puree into the strainer, scraping it around so all the drippings drip into the pot. Do this for a good 1 to 2 minutes (really press all that puree through the strainer!) and then discard whatever was caught in the strainer.
- Add the diced green chiles, give everything a good stir, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Ladle into bowls and let everyone choose their favorite toppings.

Notes
