Ingredients
For the pozole
- 1 large onion halved, white
- 8 cloves garlic
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 ½ tablespoon kosher salt plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried Mexican
- 4 cups chicken broth divided
- 4 to 5 pounds pork shoulder cut into large chunks, bone-in
- 4 (15-ounce) cans hominy drained and rinsed
For serving
- cabbage thinly shredded
- avocado
- onion diced
- lime wedges
- radish sliced
- cilantro chopped
- salsa spicy
Instructions
- Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, salt, cumin, black pepper, Mexican oregano, and 2 cups of chicken broth to a large blender. Blend until smooth.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the blended onion mixture, pork, hominy, and the remaining 2 cups of broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 hours or until the pork is fall-apart tender.
- Remove the pork from the pot and transfer it to a large bowl. Shred it with a fork or tongs (it should fall apart very easily), then transfer it back into the pot.
- Serve the pozole in bowls topped with thinly shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, sliced radishes, diced onions, avocados, dried Mexican oregano, and some spicy salsa roja.
Notes
- Mexican oregano: If you don't have Mexican oregano, you can use regular oregano instead. It will have a slightly different flavor, but the dish will still be delicious.
- Hominy: If you can't find white hominy, you can use yellow hominy instead.
- Meat: This dish is traditionally made with pork, but if you prefer chicken, I recommend using bone-in chicken thighs. The cooking time will also be much shorter, and you only need to cook it for about 30 minutes once it boils, until the chicken is cooked through.
