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

The stew was missing something. I would recommend adding some fresh herbs or vegetables.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some leftover carnitas, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used chicken broth instead of water, and I added some chopped carrots and celery. It turned out great!

This stew was absolutely delicious! The pork was tender and flavorful, and the hominy added a nice texture and flavor. I served it with some rice and black beans, and it was a perfect meal.
