**Pasole with Linguica: A Hearty Mexican Stew with a Portuguese Twist**
Pasole is a traditional Mexican stew that is typically made with hominy, a type of dried corn that has been treated with an alkali solution to remove the hull and germ. The hominy is then simmered in a broth with meat, vegetables, and spices until it is tender and flavorful. Linguica, a spicy Portuguese sausage, adds a unique twist to this classic dish.
This article features two delicious recipes for pasole with linguica. The first recipe is a traditional Mexican pasole, made with hominy, pork, and a variety of vegetables. The second recipe is a more modern take on the dish, using chicken, linguica, and a creamy tomatillo sauce. Both recipes are easy to follow and make for a hearty and satisfying meal.
In addition to the two main recipes, the article also includes a recipe for homemade chorizo, a type of Mexican sausage that can be used in place of linguica. There is also a recipe for a simple pickled onion topping that adds a bright and tangy flavor to the pasole.
Whether you are looking for a traditional Mexican stew or a more modern twist on the classic dish, you are sure to find a recipe in this article that you will enjoy. So gather your ingredients and get ready to cook up a pot of delicious pasole with linguica!
