Steps:
- Mix first 10 ingredients in the slow cooker. Add pork roast on top. Spoon the hominy over the roast. Cover. Set crock pot on "high" for 45 minutes. Then set to "low" for 7-9 hours (occasionally turn the roast). Take out the pork and shred it with 2 forks. Remove bone (skim off any fat, if desired). Add shredded pork meat back into crock pot, along with cilantro, lime juice, 1/4 tsp. liquid smoke (or to taste). Bring back up to temperature. Keep mixture in the crock pot. Set out containers of desired condiments, and have guests ladle into soup bowls.

Steps:
- Start chopping and drinking. Nothing can go wrong, right? Get a sauté pan and put your yellow onion and garlic in there, heated with the olive oil on medium. Just a few minutes to make the onions transparent, mind-don't scorch 'em. Add in the oregano, chili powder, and cumin, mix it up, and let it go for another minute or so. Should look like this:

- Remove from heat and get your bigass stock pot or cauldron or industrial vat and put it on the same burner you were just using to sauté. Dump in your salsa verde or green enchilada sauce (or your diced tomatillos and green chiles, which is what salsa verde is). More you add, greener it'll be. I just used a 7-oz can, but more wouldn't hurt.
- Also dump in your quart of chicken stock and the can of hominy (just wash and drain it first, you only want the kernels in there, not the liquid). Then shred up the breast meat of that rotisserie chicken and throw it in. Or hell, the thigh meat, leg meat, whatever. It's your posole. Whatever you feel like using, you'll need about 2 cups of meaty meat. Now scrape your spicy garlic n' onion sauté in there, mix it all up, and turn the heat up to high. BOIL IT. Soon as it's a-boilin', it should look a little something like this:

- Mine's not so green as that picture up top because I went easy on the green sauce. You can add more (use another small can or buy a whole pint of salsa verde) or keep it low- key like this-either way is yum-yum. Once it's boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for ten minutes.
- While it's simmering, you should do a tiny dance and then get your toppings ready. I highly recommend the lime squeeze right before you dig in, but remember, everything's optional. Here's my posole naked but with a wardrobe of goodies waiting to be draped upon it:

- And now you get to make your posole look sexy. Top it with the nom-noms of your choice and enjoy! Goes great with tortilla chips and beer or margaritas, and this recipe should make enough for four people:

- Regarding that time-saving stuff: You can make your salsa verde from scratch and some people really prefer it, so yay if you want to mess with tomatillos and green chiles of various kinds. (I've seen people do poblanos, jalapeños, serranos, and of course Hatch green chiles, but damn, it's all in the can ready to go.) You can also buy some chicken breasts or thighs and boil them forever to make your own chicken stock, then use the meat for your posole. And yeah, some people actually buy dry hominy and boil that too... I seriously don't have time for all of that, but you can go there if the spirit moves you. Hope you enjoy this super-tasty quick version!
