Pork and hominy stew, a traditional dish from Mexico, is a flavorful and hearty stew that combines tender pork, soft hominy, and a rich, savory broth. The dish is packed with vibrant Mexican flavors, thanks to the use of spices like cumin, chili powder, and oregano. The pork is typically browned before being stewed in a flavorful broth made with tomatoes, onions, and garlic. The hominy, a type of dried corn, adds a chewy texture and nutty flavor to the stew. The stew is often served with sides such as tortillas, rice, or beans. Additionally, the article also provides a vegetarian version of the stew, made with a combination of vegetables and plant-based protein sources, and a hominy salad recipe, which features hominy as the main ingredient, tossed with fresh vegetables and a tangy dressing.

PORK AND HOMINY STEW



Pork and Hominy Stew image

This pork hominy stew, also known as pozole, is a delicious southwestern delicacy. I moved it to the slow cooker so it can simmer away on its own. The rich, brothy soup is delicious, much like a tamale in a bowl. -Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

POZOLE ROJO - PORK AND HOMINY STEW



Pozole Rojo - Pork and Hominy Stew image

This is a labor intensive recipe for those who like to cook and eat well. Pozole is often served at Christmas or the New Year. My mom declares this her favorite recipe.

SPICY PORK STEW WITH HOMINY AND COLLARD GREENS



Spicy Pork Stew With Hominy and Collard Greens image

I've long adored hominy, the earthy dried corn kernels you find in pozole, the chile-laced Mexican stew. When I saw dried heirloom hominy for sale online, I bought some. I knew that having it in the cupboard when a hominy craving struck was the best insurance against cheating and buying the canned version. Like dried beans, dried hominy needs a good long soak and a lengthy cooking. But there's nothing difficult about the process. Many pozole recipes call for the finished stew to be garnished with shredded cabbage. But after bingeing on cabbage recently, I decided to take a different route, and stirred slivered collard greens into the pot at the end of cooking. They turned silky and soft and offered a nice contrast to the chewy hominy, the brawny pork and the spicy thick broth.

POZOLE (MEXICAN PORK AND HOMINY STEW)



Pozole (Mexican pork and hominy stew) image

Pierre Franey, who for decades was an integral contributor to The Times's food report, delivered this recipe for pozole in 1983. At the time, he said: "A genuine pozole is a tedious but incredibly simple food, rather like a hearty soup, made of pork and hominy (the dried kernels of corn). It is served with the cooking liquid plus assorted garnishes, including chopped onion, ground hot chilies, sliced radishes, shredded lettuce and lime wedges, which are passed at the table and added according to taste." Which doesn't sound tedious at all. Still, he designed this recipe so that it could be cooked within an hour.

  • Add some spices. A few spices can add a lot of flavor to this stew. Try adding cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
