Posole With Chicken & Pork image

Posole or Pozole (both spellings are correct). This is a traditional Southwestern savory stew made with a specific variety of corn , pork chicken and/or beef and green chile. It's a hearty, authentic meal, perfect for anytime. This recipe is derived from #8545, but I made so many changes I decided it was worthy of a new recipe especially since it turned out so wonderful and it's a healthier version.

Time 3h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole rotisserie roasted deli chicken, de-boned and cut up
1 lb country-style boneless pork ribs
1 (32 ounce) container low sodium chicken broth
12 ounces water
3 medium white onions (chopped)
8 garlic cloves (minced)
2 (14 ounce) containers frozen green chilies (roasted, peeled & chopped)
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
2 1/2 ounces Menudo Spice Mix
1 bunch cilantro (chopped, including stems)
1 (32 ounce) can hominy (drained)
1 (15 ounce) can hominy (drained)
salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Cube the pork (you can use pork roast as well) and brown it in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 5 quart sauce pan or pot over medium heat.
  • Add onions, garlic and saute until tender.
  • Add chicken.
  • Add water and broth, stir well.
  • Place 1 tub of green chiles in blender and puree. Them add to pan.
  • Add second tub to pan.
  • Add garlic salt, cumin, Mexican oregano and menudo spice mix. I used all but about 1 tablespoon of the menudo mix. I suggest adding small amounts until it is strong enough. Stir well.
  • Add cilantro.
  • Lower heat and simmer 3 hours.
  • Add hominy and simmer until warm throughout. About 15 minutes.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • I have found the frozen green chiles and menudo mix at Kroger Signature & Wal-Mart grocery stores.
  • Actually I used a whole Beer Can Chicken off my smoker that most of the fat had been cooked off. I tossed the skin. That is why I suggested using rotiserie chicken.
