Instructions
- Cut the pork into one to two-inch pieces. You can brown the pork if you’d like, but it is not strictly necessary. Add the pork to a large stockpot or Dutch oven.
- Barely cover the pork with water.
- Chop onion and smash garlic. Add them to the pot. Add the spices.
- Add salt, pepper, and spices. Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 1½ to 2 hours, until pork is fork tender.
For the soup
- Prepare the hominy according to package directions.
- Place peppers on a baking sheet. Broil for about 15 minutes, until the skin is blistered and black.
- Carefully remove them from the oven and flip them over with tongs. Broil for another 15 minutes.
- Quickly place the peppers in a covered bowl to produce steam. Let them cool for about five minutes.
- Scrape off the blackened skin with a paring knife. Remove seeds and stem.
- Add the tomatillos and peppers to your food processor bowl or blender container and pulse until a smooth paste is formed. Then, add the oregano.
- Once the pork is tender, add the vegetables and hominy to the pork and the stock in the pot. Heat through.
- Serve with any suggested toppings below in recipe notes.
