Pork posole is a traditional Mexican soup or stew made with hominy, a type of corn kernel. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold day. This article provides three different recipes for pork posole: a classic red posole, a green posole, and a white posole.
The red posole recipe uses dried ancho and guajillo chiles to give the soup a rich red color and a slightly smoky flavor. Refried pinto beans and chopped kale add texture and boost the flavor profile. The green posole uses fresh tomatillos and poblano peppers to create a bright green soup with a refreshing flavor. And the white posole is a more traditional recipe that uses white hominy and a simple broth made with chicken or pork stock. All three recipes are easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time, making them perfect for busy weeknights. So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the world of posole with these delicious recipes!
POSOLE (MEXICAN SOUP WITH PORK AND HOMINY)
This recipe was taught to me by my friend Mary, who was raised in Mexico, when she learned that I didn't like Menudo. She adds a whole jalepeno to the recipe, but that's to hot for me. The prep and cook time doesn't include cook time for the pork.

Traditionally a long-simmered stew, this Mexican-inspired stew is quick and easy, thanks to canned hominy. Searing the pork loin in the pot before making the stew gives you a great base of flavors so the stew seems as if it indeed simmered all afternoon. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with warm tortillas on the side. Yum, yum, yum.

POSOLE (MEXICAN PORK STEW)
I think posole is like chili and gumbo, instead of eating it hot off the stove, the taste improves if you let the pot cool on the stove for about two hours, then put it in the refrigerator overnight, which allows the flavors time to blend and set. The Posole (chili, gumbo) can then be transferred into smaller containers or plastic bags for storage and reheated as needed. This recipe freezes well with little loss of flavor or texture. I usually make a double recipe, and after cooling overnight in the refrigerator, transfer the posole into glass Mason jars and store in the freezer and unthaw as needed.

SIMPLER POSOLE, NAVAJO (HOMINY PORK STEW)
There are several Posole recipes here, and this particular Navajo Posole can be found 2 or 3 places on the net as well as in Spirit of the Harvest: North American Indian Cooking. But me and my family have enjoyed this recipe so much that I wanted to be able to share this with others on RecipeZaar. We usually serve this with white flour tortilias. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do. As a note we use canned hominy since blue dried posole(dried whole hominy) is not easily available to us. We have also easily adapted this to a crockpot. This recipe is from Marilyn Yazzie, Navajo, Tsenjikini (honeycombed rock) mother's clan, Tachiinnii (Red runs into the water) Father's clan. She favors using only fresh chiles, and likes it hot. She uses lean pork and no salt, for health reasons. If you're not so sure about fiery southwestern foods, use only 1 jalapeno, or use only mild green chiles, instead of jalapenos.Prep time varies depending on whether or not dried hominy is used.

Steps:
- 1. Pork and broth: put pork chops in a large pan and cover with water. toss in the onion, celery, garlic, boulion cubes, oregano and bay leaves and simmer for a few hours until they are tender enough to pull off the bone. remove the chops and cool on a plate. While the chops cool, pour the broth through a mesh strainer to remove and discard all the pieces of onion, celery and bay leaves, then return broth to the same pot. Remove the pork from the bones when cool and shred the meat by hand, returning to the pot. Drain and add 2 30 oz cans of hominy to the pot. Place on a low simmer.
- 2. Chile Sauce: Guajillo chiles are NOT spicy at all, but bring a wonderful and earthy flavor to this soup when added in this way. To make this sauce, bring garlic, 1 tsp salt, and the whole bag of chiles to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for about an hour. If the water boils down too much, add more water as necessary to keep the peppers covered. then turn off the heat to cool a little. When slightly cooled, put the peppers, garlic and about half of the sauce in a food processor and puree. After you add the pork back to the pork broth, put a strainer over the pot and pour the pureed chile mix into the strainer and push it through with a rubber spatula. You are removing the bits of skin and seeds that remain, and the puree of chile will drop through into the soup. If there is additional liquid from the boiled chiles pour this through as well so that the flavors are not lost ... this is filled with wonderful flavor that should not be lost!
- 3. after the chile sauce is added, simmer the soup for about a half hour. 5 minutes before serving, add a tablespoon of lemon or lime juice to the pot, taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary.
- 4. Spoon into a bowl and serve. Put the toppings in bowls/plates on the table, and let your guests use the toppings as they please.

Steps:
- Fill a large 10-12 quart stockpot with 5 quarts of water. Bring to a boil. Remove and discard the stems and seeds from the chili pods. Heat a pan on medium high and lightly roast the chili pods for a couple minutes, until soft. Do not let them burn.
- While the chilies are heating, bring a medium pot with 3 cups of water to a boil. Once the chilies have softened, submerge them in the pot with the 3 cups of hot water, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let the chilies soak in the hot water for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan) in a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Pat the pork pieces and sprinkle them generously with salt. Working in batches, taking care not to crowd the pan or stir the meat much, brown the meat on all sides. Right at the end of browning the meat, add 4 cloves of roughly chopped garlic to the pan with the meat, let cook with the meat for about a minute.
- Once meat has browned, transfer it to the large stockpot of boiling water. Scrape up any browned bits from bottom of the pan, and any garlic, and add to the pot as well.
- Add the hominy, bay leaves, cumin, and oregano. Add a tablespoon of salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- Prepare the red sauce by puréeing in a blender the chilies, their soaking liquid, a teaspoon of salt, and 4 cloves of garlic. Strain the red sauce through a sieve, discarding the tough bits of the sauce. Add the red chili sauce to the pot with the pork and hominy. Add another couple teaspoons of of salt. Return to a simmer, lower the heat to just high enough to maintain a simmer, partially covered.
- Cook for 2-2 1/2 hours until the pork is completely tender. Skim away excess fat. Taste for seasoning and add more salt to taste. Add more water if necessary.
- Serve the pozole soup into bowls, arrange garnishes in bowls on the table, and slightly toast the with tostada shells.
