Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup dried white posole* (sometimes called hominy; 5 ounces)
4 quarts water
1 (6-ounce) piece meaty smoked bacon such as Black Forest, top 1/4 inch of fat discarded and bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
3 large garlic cloves
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 fresh oregano sprigs or 1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Rinse posole in a sieve under cold running water, then soak in a bowl of cold water to cover by 1 inch, chilled, 8 to 24 hours.
  • Drain and rinse soaked posole under cold running water, then transfer to a 6-quart pot. Add 4 quarts water, bacon, garlic, onion, and oregano (do not add salt) and simmer gently, uncovered, over low heat until posole has flowered (burst open) and liquid just barely covers posole, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Discard garlic cloves and oregano sprigs, then stir in salt and simmer 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Available at Latino markets and by mail order from Kitchen/Market (888-468-4433).

This is the best posole recipe I've ever tried! The flavors are so rich and complex, and the bacon adds a lovely smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again and again.
