Ingredients

1 pound pork shoulder* (trimmed of visible fat and cut into bite size pieces)
1 tsp. green chile spice blend* or salt/pepper/garlic powder
2 Tbsp. olive oil or 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings
6 cups water / stock*
1 pound fresh or frozen posole*
6 large garlic cloves, (minced)
1 medium onion, (chopped)
½ tsp. toasted cumin coriander blend*
1 tsp. dried oregano, (crushed)
1 cup mild roasted New Mexico green chile*, (chopped)
½ - 1 cup medium to hot roasted New Mexico green chile ((amount depends on heat desired))
1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
1 tsp. black pepper
Warmed flour or corn tortillas (one to two per person)

Steps:

Cut the pork into bite size pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with green chile spice blend. Toss to coat the pork pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Chop the onion and the garlic.
Heat a large soup pot over medium heat.
Heat the oil. When hot, add the pork, onion and garlic. Increase the heat to medium high to brown the meat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the water/stock. Bring to a boil. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the chile and salt.
Reduce to a simmer. Cook for 45 minutes to an hour or until the pork is just at "pull apart tender".
Add the green chile and more water if you think it needs it. Stir occasionally.
Cook for another 30 minutes or until the posole has popped and is tender. Be careful not to over stir the posole. With too much stirring you can break it apart and end up with little pieces of posole.
Taste. Add more salt if needed.
Remove from heat and scoop into soup bowls.. Serve with warmed tortillas.

This recipe combines parts of my nanny's and my mother's recipes that were taught to me when I was young. An optional sprinkling of queso fresco on top is an absolute delight in my opinion. -Jaime Love, Las Vegas, Nevada
