Mexican Pozole by Chelsie Kenyon

This authentic Mexican recipe of Pozole is a true favorite in Mexico and a true favorite of mine. It’s actually very similar to menudo. While it has a very similar flavor the ingredients differ in the meat that is used.

It’s a rich soup originating from the Mexican state of Jalisco.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork cut into small cubes
• 1 whole onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 5 cloves of garlic, peeled and diced
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 4 green chiles, roasted, peeled and diced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded, and finely diced
• 2 tablespoons oil or lard
• 2 cups dried hominy or 3 cups fresh nixtamal with hulls removed (see below)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

Dried Hominy-
Soak dried hominy in lightly salted water overnight.Nixtamal or Fresh Hominy-
Follow Nixtamal directions for cooking and soaking hominy. Only use 2 cups of dried corn to make the hominy.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onions and garlic for approximately two minutes. Brown the meat in the pan with the onions and garlic. Add enough water to cover the meat with a least 2 inches. Stir in the dried hominy, salt, cumin, oregano, cloves, pepper and chiles. (If using fresh hominy instead of dried, do not add at this time.) Let simmer for 1 hour.

Remove the meat from the liquid. Remove excess fat and cut the meat into small cubes. Set aside.

Add chicken broth as necessary to replace liquid. If using fresh hominy or nixtamal, add it at this time. Simmer for an additional hour. Add in cubed pork and simmer for an additional 20 minutes or until hominy is thoroughly cooked. Salt to taste

Let me know how this authentic Mexican recipe of Pozolo suits your taste buds. Until next time, enjoy!

   Hello Ramon,

   Okay, you got me on this one. All of my life I’ve said Pozole with an s. Thank you so much for the correction. I love learning and this is a somewhat embarrassing lesson for me, but none the less, I’ve learned. I’m actually going to see if it’s just me by asking my mother, who is now 80 years old, how to spell pozole and I’ll see if it was me or my ancestors also.LOL Once more, thank you for sharing.

   Best Regards,
   Aetna J H
