Pozole Verde Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the pork or chicken, water or chicken broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sauce

    While the meat is cooking, in a blender, combine the tomatillos, jalapeños, and cilantro. Blend until smooth. Add this mixture to the pot once the meat is cooked.

  3. 3

    Add Hominy

    Once the sauce is added, stir in the hominy. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the pozole and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the pozole into bowls and garnish with avocado slices, radishes, shredded cabbage, and tortilla chips.
