Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large pot, combine the pork ribs, pork shoulder, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that forms on the surface.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Broth

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

  3. 3

    Add Hominy and Seasonings

    Once the meat is tender, remove the pork and shred it. Return the shredded meat to the pot, add the hominy, minced garlic, chopped onion, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Final Simmer

    Let the pozole simmer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the pozole into bowls, top with shredded cabbage, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
