Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder (cut into large chunks)
- 1 pound pork ribs
- 10 cups water
- 6 pieces garlic cloves (peeled and whole)
- 1 piece white onion (halved)
- 6 pieces dried guajillo chilies
- 2 pieces dried ancho chilies
- 2 pieces dried arbol chilies (optional, for heat)
- 6 cups hominy (canned, rinsed, and drained)
- 1 tablespoon oregano (preferably Mexican oregano)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 to taste salt
- 1 cup radishes (sliced, for garnish)
- 2 cups cabbage (thinly shredded, for garnish)
- 2 pieces lime wedges (for serving)
- 1 piece avocado slices (optional, for serving)
- 8 pieces corn tortillas (optional, to serve)
Instructions
In a large pot, combine the pork shoulder, pork ribs, 10 cups of water, garlic cloves, and half of the white onion. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Strain the broth, discarding the solids, and return the clear broth to the pot.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the chili sauce. Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo, ancho, and arbol chilies. Place the chilies in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 20 minutes or until softened.
Drain the chilies and transfer them to a blender. Add 1 cup of the strained broth and blend until smooth. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
Add the strained chili sauce to the broth in the pot. Stir in the hominy, oregano, and ground cumin. Season with salt to taste and bring the broth back to a gentle simmer.
Shred the cooked pork into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Simmer for an additional 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Ladle the pozole into bowls and serve with sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, lime wedges, and avocado slices if desired. Serve with warm corn tortillas on the side.
