Pozole
Here is a quick and easy recipe for pozole, taken from several different sources.
This time, I added the red pepper to the soup while cooking and I got it too darn hot! I had to serve it over rice to coo it off. It would be better to add the crushed red pepper at the table.
1 pound lean pork or chicken, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
I can diced green chilies
1 can yellow or white hominy
red crushed pepper to taste
oregano, cumin and black pepper to taste
4 cups water
1. Brown the pork or chicken in olive oil, add the onion and garlic.
2. Add the chilies and hominy.
3. Add the water, season gently, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Great with a green salad and warm tortillas.
I love anything with hominy in it. I am definitely making this recipe. It looks so good.
Mmmm, this looks really good!
I’ve never tasted hominy. What’s it taste like?
Lynne,
It taste a little like corn, which it is really, but not much. I like it better.
Pam,
It is good, and very quick to make. I used dried hominy once to make it, and didn’t like it as well, so guess I am not a true pioneer.
Meredith,
My favorite hominy recipe comes from the south, hominy with real fried bacon bits. I don’t eat that anymore, but it sure did taste good!
This looks really good and I love the simple recipe! I’ll be trying this soon!
I made it last night and added some red bell pepper diced up and some cheddar cheese on top at the last second, just because I had it. It was really good and easy to make. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I think it will become something I make frequently.
Meredith,
I am glad that you liked it. Another thing I have added is strips of flour tortillas. It is more like tortilla soup, but without the tomatoes. I’ll have to try adding diced red pepper next time.
Sandy, that looks delicious. Thanks so much for posting a picture and the recipe. I have copied it.
i make this soup with the addition of mild enchilada sause to flavor it a little zestier…i also add mushrooms. I serve with following garnishes:
sliced limes
shredded cabbage
sliced radish
fresh cilantro leaves

Rose, I just found this recipe on the net; similar to mine, but I use 1/2 pork and 1/2 chicken and use the Pato Sauce instead of the chiles. And I put baby carrots (cut in half).
