Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup or stew made with hominy, a type of corn kernel that has been treated with an alkali solution to remove the hull and germ. The hominy is simmered in a broth with meat, typically pork or chicken, and vegetables such as onions, garlic, and chili peppers. Other common ingredients include tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado.

This article provides three different recipes for pozole:

1. The first recipe is for a classic pozole verde, or green pozole, made with tomatillos, green chiles, and cilantro. This recipe is also made using chicken instead of pork.
2. The second recipe is for a pozole rojo, or red pozole, made with dried ancho and guajillo chiles. This recipe uses pork shoulder as the meat and is cooked in a pressure cooker for convenience.
3. The third recipe is for a pozole blanco, or white pozole, made with a simple broth of pork and hominy. This recipe is the most traditional of the three and is often served with shredded cabbage, radishes, and lime wedges so that each person can customize their bowl to their liking.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 Buncha food, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 -3 1/2 lbs pork shoulder, preferably with a good piece of bone in
1 quart water, with
1 teaspoon salt
3 bay leaves
1 large onion, diced
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans white hominy, drained and rinsed
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can yellow hominy, drained and rinsed
3 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies, undrained (mild or hot)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Set your salted water on to boil in your pressure cooker pot so it can be heating up while you prep your ingredients.
  • Cut the pork into bite-size cubes and add to the water in the pressure cooker. Be sure to include any bone(s) from the roast. Add the bay leaves, then put the lid on and bring up to pressure per your cooker's instructions (this might take 20-30 minutes). Once the cooker is up to pressure, turn the heat down a bit until the stopper is rocking gently and set your timer for 10 minutes.
  • During all that waiting time, chop your onion, drain and rinse your hominy, open your cans of green chillies, and measure out your seasonings. Read a book. Watch a video on Youtube. Finish tidying up and set the table. Whatever you like, just don't get out of earshot of the cooker's hiss. You want a nice gentle rocking.
  • After ten minutes at pressure, take your pressure cooker off the heat, douse it under cold water in your sink until the pressure is released, and open the pot.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, being careful not to fill above the max fill line on your cooker. (Take out some pork/stock and set aside if needed to make room for the hominy and onions.) Stir, put the lid back on, and bring back up to pressure (again, 20-30 minutes), and again cook at gently-rocking pressure 7 minutes.
  • After 7 minutes at pressure, douse cooker under cold water in your sink until the pressure is released, stir, and adjust any seasonings for taste (it'll be crazy hot so be careful!).
  • Serve with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro, and garnish with pico de gallo, avocado slices, and lime wedges. Yum!

Tips for Making the Best Pork Posole in a Pressure Cooker

- For the best flavor, use a combination of dried and fresh chiles. - If you don't have any dried chiles, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of chili powder. - To make the posole even more flavorful, brown the pork in a little bit of oil before adding it to the pressure cooker. - If you don't have hominy, you can substitute 1 cup of corn kernels. - Be sure to add enough water to the pressure cooker so that the posole is covered by at least 1 inch of liquid. - Once the posole is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
