Ancho Pork Posole

Here is my Pork Posole recipe. Not sure just how authentic it is, but it works for us.

Ingredients:
(Printer Friendly recipe link at end of post)

1 lb pork loin, trimmed of fat, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Cloves fresh garlic minced
1 small onion chopped
1 can Hominy (29 oz) drained and rinsed
1 can Tomatillos (28 oz) drained
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1 can diced green chiles (4 oz)
2 cups chicken stock
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
¾ tsp Ancho Chile powder
Salt and black pepper to taste

In a large pot over medium high heat; sauté onions til transparent,

add garlic and pork.

Season with salt and pepper. Cook until pork is browned.

Add cumin, oregano and chili powder,

stir to coat meat with seasonings.

Add green chiles, diced tomatoes, hominy and tomatillos. Breaking up tomatillos as they are added

(I crush them in my hand as I add them, this way I can remove the stem end).

Do you have any idea how hard it is to add ingredients, hold the camera, focus and take a picture? All without burning what you are trying to cook?

Add chicken stock and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes.

Serve with sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, minced onion and lemon wedges.

Don't ask me why some of these pictures decided to load sideways??? You should still get the "picture".

That's it - enjoy!!!
