Time 3h30m

Yield twelve 10-ounce portions

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 3 pounds pork shoulder
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1 onion, chopped fine
2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
10 to 12 Casa Chimayo red chile pods* (see Cook's Note), rinsed, stems and seeds removed
4 cloves fresh, peeled garlic
Salt
1 pound posole, dried and soaked overnight, or frozen and defrosted** (see Cook's Note)
1 onion, quartered
1 teaspoon salt
Optional garnishes: sliced limes, chopped fresh cilantro, finely chopped onion, oregano, cubed avocado, or grated cheese

Steps:

  • You will essentially be preparing this recipe in three stages: pork, chile and posole. These are then combined into the final posole.
  • For the pork: Place the pork shoulder in a pot and cover with water. Add the salt, bay leaf and onion. Bring to a boil, and then cook over medium heat until tender and falling off the bone, about 1 1/2 hrs.
  • Remove the meat from the broth and let cool; reserve the broth for later. Pull the meat from the bones and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • For the chile: Put the chile pods in about 2 cups of the hot broth (enough to allow the pods to puree easily in a blender) and let soak until soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Put the broth, pods and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth. (Do not fill the blender more than halfway with liquid.) Add salt to taste and set aside.
  • For the posole: Drain and rinse the posole. Put the posole in a cooking pot and cover with water; use about 2 parts water to 1 part posole. Add the onion and salt. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat and simmer until the posole has started to "bloom", 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The posole will swell and start to resemble popcorn, but will still be chewy. At this point, add the pork, chile and any remaining broth into the posole and let it finish cooking. The key to a successful posole is watching for it to finish blooming. Posole is fully cooked when it has opened completely, and is tender when chewed. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Serve in a bowl and place the garnishes on the table so that each person fixes their own.

This soup was a little bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best soup he's ever had. I will definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

This soup was a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the pork was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I would not recommend this recipe.

This soup was okay. The flavors were good, but the pork was a little dry. I think I would have preferred to use chicken instead. Overall, it was a decent soup, but I wouldn't make it again.

This is my new favorite soup! It's so easy to make and it's so flavorful. I love the combination of the pork and the hominy. I also like that I can make it ahead of time and it reheats well.

This Casa Chimayo red posole was a hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the pork was fall-apart tender. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again and again.
