Pork Pozole Rojo


Pork Pozole Rojo

Ingredients :

  • 6 pounds pork pozole mix (trotters, neck bones, and pork shoulder cubes)
  • 5 quarts water
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 8 ounces dried Guajillo chile pods
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican dry oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can (108 ounces) hominy, drained
  • Garnishes
  • 1 cabbage, shredded
  • 2 bunches radishes, stemmed and sliced thinly
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 bunch cilantro, stemmed and chopped
  • limes, cut into wedges
  • tostadas


Directions :

  1. In a large deep pot, combine pork and water. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.
  2. When the broth clears, add onion, garlic, bay leaves, and 2 tablespoons of salt.
  3. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, adding more water in 1 cup increments as needed to maintain about 4 quarts.
  4. Remove stems off chili pods. Pry open and remove seeds. In a bowl, soak in about 2 cups warm water for about 30 minutes or until softened.
  5. In a blender, process softened chilies and the soaking liquid until smooth. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the red sauce to remove any stray bits and pieces.
  6. Add red sauce to the pot of simmering meat. Add Mexican oregano and cumin.
  7. Add hominy. Continue to simmer, covered, for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until meat is fork-tender. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings. Serve piping hot with tostadas and lime wedges.
