A family tradition I cherish is the making and eating of Posole on New Year's Eve. Posole and chile are treasures that I can't get in Alaska, so it is even more valuable to me.

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 bueno dried red chile pods (stems and seeds removed)
6 pigs feet (i didn't have any, and this is optional)
6 qt water
1 lb lean pork meat, bite-sized
1 lb lean beef stew meat (i used moose just because i had it available))
1 2 lb. package bueno posole (frozen)
2 medium onions, diced
6 clove garlic, minced
4 tsp granulated garlic (use only granulated--not garlic powder)
1 1/2 Tbsp salt
1 14 oz container red chile
1 oz bag green menudo mix or 2 tbsp mexican oregano

Steps:

  • 1. I find it easiest to put everything in a large crockpot and let it cook all day or all night but I am posting the directions as written on the bag.
  • 2. Place chile pods, pigs' feet and 3 qts. water in an extra large (12 qt) pot. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 1 hour over medium to medium-high heat.
  • 3. Add pork and stew meat (including bones if any), posole and 3 more qts. water to pot. Bring to a slow boil. Cover and cook for 30 minutes over low to medium heat.
  • 4. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a slow boil. Cover and cook for 1 hour over low to medium heat, allowing flavors to blend. Serve with warm tortillas.
