RED POZOLE RECIPE CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or saucepot set over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add the oregano, coriander and cumin, and cook until slightly darkened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green chiles, chopped tomatoes, salsa verde and cook until it just comes to a boil, about 2 minutes. Add the hominy and chicken broth and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and cook until heated through, 3 minutes.
• To serve, divide among 4 bowls and garnish as desired.

Steps:

• This recipe requires a simple prep.
• Prepare the onion, peel the garlic, chop the onion, peel and chop the 2 garlic cloves, chop the green chilies and jalapenos if you are using them and get the hominy drained and rinsed.
• I boil my ancho chilies in a separate small pot for the garnish part(read below).
• Now you are ready to cook.
• Place the meat in a large saucepan and just cover with lightly salted water.
• Add 1/2 chopped onion, the 2 cloves peeled garlic, pepper, cumin, and oregano.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Remove meat and broth, reserving both.
• Saute the remaining chopped onion and garlic in oil until translucent.
• Add the remaining spices, stir for a minute.
• Cut the reserved pork into 1 inch cubes and add to the pan.
• Stir in the canned hominy, pork broth (if there is not enough pork broth, add chicken stock, I like to add it anyway for flavor, about 2-4 cups, eyeball the amount you like), green chilies and jalapenos (optional).
• Cook at a simmer, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes until the meat and hominy are tender.
• If necessary, cook for up to an additional 60 minutes until the chilies and onions are well blended into the broth.
• Degrease the stew, taste for salt, and serve in soup bowls.
• This is a delicious recipe and well worth the effort to make.
• Garnishes that are always served with are:.
• lots of lime/lemon wedges.
• sliced radishes.
• chopped cilantro.
• Shredded cabbage(not red).
• fresh/ packaged fried corn tortillas.
• When my ancho chilies are soft from boiling(takes about 15 minutes), then i put them in the blender with 1 1/2cups of water, 1 clove of garlic and about 2 tablespoons diced onion, and about 1 tablespoons of salt and pepper. I blend this thin, then strain it to get the liquid separated from its "pulp". I throw the pulp into the soup for the flavor i like but you can discard if too spicy for you. The remaining liquid you put in a serving dish for guests to add in their own bowl, if desired. Beware! It's HOT!
