PUEBLO WHITE POSOLE STEW
This is an easy and delicious pork stew. Posole is the Spanish word for hominy (lime-treated whole corn kernels). You can used drained, canned hominy and it's good and easy to find, but a stronger flavor comes from fresh or frozen posole. There is red posole (red chilies) and white posole (green chilies), and both are popular throughout Mexico, New Mexico and parts of the southwest. Posole probably originated with the Pueblo Indians, and has become a real must for Christmas Eve, New Year's eve or New Year's day to bring good luck. But most people enjoy this stew year-'round as well, especially in winter.

Steps:
- The stew will be thicker and more delicious if you first boil pork bones and then put the broth into the fridge overnight to let the fat rise to the surface. Take off the layer of fat the next day and use the broth in place of water for your stew.
- If using fresh or frozen posole, boil until it pops, and then add all other ingredients, cover with water (or pork broth) and simmer the stew very slowly until done.
- If using canned hominy, use the juice from the can for added flavor. Cooking time may be reduced using canned hominy.
- Adjust seasonings and serve with warm, flour tortillas.
