Best Gringo Posole Recipes
GRINGO POSOLE
My own version of posole! Stew made with hominy, garlic, peppers and pork meat. This is made in the slow cooker. I tried to make the stew as colorful as possible, which is why I use both white and yellow hominy and green and red bell peppers. This recipe is best the next day reheated. I love it best with cornbread or EVEN BETTER, fresh flour tortillas. It is awesome on a cold winter day and is great to take to pot luck dinners. Can be doubled or reduced in size to accommodate any number of people, and is a relatively foolproof recipe!

Steps:
- Pour water into slow cooker, and set the cooker to High to preheat. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown the pork on all sides, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Place the browned pork into the hot water in the slow cooker, leaving oil in the skillet. Cook and stir the green and red bell peppers, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet over medium-low heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables into the slow cooker. Drop in the bouillon cubes. Add water if necessary to barely cover the ingredients, set the cooker to Medium, and cook until the vegetables are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with chiles, and stir to combine. Cook for 1 more hour; stir in the hominy with liquid, cumin, red pepper, and black pepper, and cook 1 additional hour.

GRINGO GREEN POSOLE FOR 2 (GLUTEN-FREE)
I learned to make Posole married to a Puerto Rican while living in New Mexico. Green chiles are more popular there than any others. While I know that the traditional dish has red chiles, I have always made it with green chiles and/or tomatillos. It is the perfect comfort food for a cold rainy day!! I would like to thank Juliann Esquivel for her delicious traditional recipe and the idea to use chocolate when making the pork. It's a touch of genius!!

Steps:
- clean and dry the pork loin. place it in a zip lock bag. mix all the dry ingredients in a small bowl, then pour herbs and spices into the bag over the pork loin. close the bag and massage the pork until covered with seasoning. place in the frig over night. (the pork juices will help keep the seasonings on.) place roast in a small roasting pan. if the loin doesn't have much fat on top, place 1 slice of bacon on top, then set the pan in the oven. cook for about 30-40 min @ 350 degrees F. the internal temp should read 160 degrees f, before removing from the oven. When cool, dice half of the roast into small bite sized pieces. You can use the remaining roast for another dinner tomorrow night, or you can double the posole soup recipe and have more posole . . .
- press 2 cloves of garlic into a small stock pot or other non-reactive pot. (chile is murder on aluminum pots and pans.) add a small amount of olive oil (i use less than a tablespoon) to saute over medium high heat. Add chopped onions. I dont stir much so I get a little brownness on the onion. remove from the flame when the onions are turning clear but have some caramelization on the edges. They should still be slightly crunchy. Add rinsed and drained hominy, enchilada sauce, tomatillos or salsa, and chicken stock. Add diced pork loin. simmer till hot and flavors have had a chance to meld, about 30 min. Watch for evaporating liquid and add more chicken stock or water to keep a slightly thick and hearty consistency.
- scoop warm soup into bowls and dress with garnishes.
