Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Hominy

Rinse the dried hominy under cold water and soak it in water overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

2

Cook the Meat

In a large pot, add the diced pork shoulder and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.

3

Add Ingredients

Once the meat is tender, add the soaked hominy, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to combine.

4

Simmer the Soup

Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the hominy is soft and the flavors meld together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5

Serve

Ladle the posole into bowls and serve hot, garnished with toppings such as radishes, cabbage, lime, and cilantro if desired.
