Pork Pozole Verde
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Prairie Creek® Diced Pork 1” (RFS Item# A6534)
- 1 pound tomatillos (husked and halved)
- 2 poblano chilis (stemmed, quartered, seeds and veins removed)
- 2 Good Roots® Jalapeno Chilis (stemmed, halved, seeds and veins removed)
- 1/2 cup Good Roots Cilantro leaves (coarsely chopped)
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 small Good Roots Onions (1 cut into 6 or 8 chunks and 1 cut into 1/2-inch dice)
- 6 cups chicken stock (divided)
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (or other neutral-flavored oil, divided)
- 50 ounces hominy (drained)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
Preparation
- In a blender, combine tomatillos, poblanos, jalapenos, cilantro, garlic and chunked out onion and pulse to coarsely chop. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and puree.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of oil. Add tomatillo mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes medium green, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, add salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
- While the tomatillo mixture is cooking, in a small stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add half the pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove browned pork to a plate and set aside. Repeat with remaining pork.
- Add diced onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining 5 cups of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add pork, hominy and oregano and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
- Stir in tomatillo mixture and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the pork is very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve pozole topped you’re your favorites, i.e. sour cream, cilantro, jalapenos, and lime.
