Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 30 ounces Hominy (drained and rinsed)
- 1 large Yellow onion (chopped)
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (with green chilies)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into 2-inch chunks.
Place the pork into the crockpot and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and the drained hominy.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes with green chilies.
Season the mixture with ground cumin, dried oregano, chili powder, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf. Use two forks to shred the pork directly in the crockpot. Stir the shredded pork into the broth to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the posole hot in bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cabbage or lettuce, and sliced radishes as desired.
