POZOLE (MEXICAN PORK AND HOMINY STEW)
Pierre Franey, who for decades was an integral contributor to The Times's food report, delivered this recipe for pozole in 1983. At the time, he said: "A genuine pozole is a tedious but incredibly simple food, rather like a hearty soup, made of pork and hominy (the dried kernels of corn). It is served with the cooking liquid plus assorted garnishes, including chopped onion, ground hot chilies, sliced radishes, shredded lettuce and lime wedges, which are passed at the table and added according to taste." Which doesn't sound tedious at all. Still, he designed this recipe so that it could be cooked within an hour.

Steps:
- Cut bones from chops but reserve both meat and bones. Cut meat into one-inch cubes. Put meat and bones in small kettle and add chicken legs and thighs. Add water, quartered onion, garlic, salt, chilies and peppercorns. Bring to boil and cook, uncovered, 45 minutes or until meat is quite tender. Remove pork and chicken.
- When cool enough to handle, remove and discard skin and bones from chicken. Cut meat into bite-size pieces.
- Strain broth into another small kettle or saucepan. Add meats, hominy and bring to boil.
- Meanwhile, shred lettuce, slice radishes, quarter lime and chop Bermuda onion. Serve in individual serving dishes, to be added to soup according to taste.
- Serve soup in individual heated soup bowls.
