Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Pork

Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and season with salt and black pepper.

2. Cook the Pork

In a large pot, add the pork chunks and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the pork is tender.

3. Prepare the Chilies

While the pork is cooking, remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo and ancho chilies. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

4. Blend the Chilies

In a blender, combine the toasted chilies, garlic cloves, and half of the onion (chopped). Add about a cup of the cooking liquid from the pot, and blend until smooth.

5. Add Hominy

Once the pork is tender, add the hominy to the pot along with the blended chili mixture. Stir well to combine.

6. Season the Soup

Add oregano, cumin, and additional salt to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 30 minutes to meld the flavors.

7. Prepare Garnishes

Shred the remaining half of the onion, chop the cabbage, and cut the lime into wedges for serving.

8. Serve

Ladle the pozole into bowls and top with shredded cabbage, onions, and a squeeze of lime.
