Instructions
- Remove the stems from each chile shaking out as many seeds as possible and place in a large bowl. Cover chiles with boiling water and top with an upside down plate to keep submerged. Let sit until softened, at least 30 minutes.
- While chiles are softening, heat a deep pan over high heat and drizzle with canola oil. Sprinkle pork chunks with 2 teaspoons of the salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the oregano. Brown pork in a pan until pieces start to form a crust. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
- Once the pork is seared, remove from pan and place in the slow cooker insert.
- Add chicken broth, hominy and remaining 1 tablespoon oregano to the slow cooker.
- To make the red chile paste, place softened chiles and 1 1/2 cups of the soaking liquid into a blender or food processor. Add onion, garlic, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt then puree until smooth.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour chile paste over the strainer. Use a spatula to push the chile paste through removing any large pieces. Taste paste for seasoning and add salt or pepper if needed.
- Pour chile paste into the slow cooker and stir well. Heat on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
- Add lime juice to the posole before serving, being sure to add salt or pepper if necessary. Serve stew in bowls with optional garnishes.
Notes
- This dish is great with pork or chicken neck bones which I pick up at my local hispanic grocery store. It’s great for freezing as well!
