Talk about Tender with a capital T! The pressure cooker really cooks this pork, to melt in your mouth perfection. The soup is spicy and garlicky with a hint of tomato flavor. Add a little cheese and cilantro and you have a fiesta in a bowl.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3.5 - 4 lb pork carnitas (butt or shoulder); 1-inch cubes
3 Tbsp garlic powder with parsley
salt and pepper; to taste
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp hot Mexican-style chili powder
1/2 tsp ground chipotle chili powder
3 Tbsp oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 28-oz can(s) El Pato enchilada sauce (red)
2 29-oz can(s) white hominy, drained
5 1/2 c beef broth
2 dash(es) Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix cubed pork with the dry seasonings until evenly coated.
  • 2. Heat oil in a large skillet.
  • 3. In small batches, brown the pork in hot oil. Remove and set aside browned meat.
  • 4. Sauté onions and chopped garlic in the remaining oil. Add more oil to the skillet if necessary.
  • 5. Return the brown meat to the skillet and mix with the onions and garlic. Add both cans of drained hominy, and mix.
  • 6. Next, pour the enchilada sauce then the broth over the meat mixture. Stir the ingredients and bring to a near boil.
  • 7. Transfer the soup to a large pressure cooker. Cover and lock the pressure cooker according to the manufacturer directions.
  • 8. Cook at 15 pounds of pressure for 8 minutes. Allow the pressure to come down naturally. If you do not have a pressure cooker, bring the ingredients to a boil then simmer until the meat is tender.
  • 9. Serve the pozole with the following optional toppings: shredded cabbage, lime wedges, chopped onions, cilantro, shredded cheese, and fried corn tortilla strips. My family also enjoys topping it with our chipotle cream sauce (see my recipe).
