Red Posole with Pork image

If you've never made posole, this is a good starter recipe. There are no hard-to-get cuts (like the pig's head called for in many traditional versions), and most of the process is hands-off.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds pork shoulder (Boston butt)
1 large white onion, halved through root end, plus chopped for serving
2 heads of garlic, halved crosswise
1 bay leaf
3 whole cloves
10 guajillo chiles, ribs and seeds removed
6 dried chiles de árbol, ribs and seeds removed
Kosher salt
3 (15-ounce) cans white hominy, rinsed
Thinly sliced cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, dried oregano, and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place pork shoulder, onion halves, garlic, bay leaf, and cloves in a large pot. Pour in 14 cups water (pork should be submerged). Bring to a simmer and cook, skimming as needed and turning pork occasionally, until meat is cooked through and tender but not yet falling apart, 2 1/2-3 hours. Transfer pork to a plate; let cool slightly. Strain broth into a large bowl, then transfer back to pot. Slice pork into 1/2" slices and add to broth.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Toast all the chiles on a rimmed baking sheet until brown (do not char) and starting to lightly puff in places, about 5 minutes. Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add chiles. Remove from heat and let chiles soak until softened, 10-12 minutes. Blend chiles and cooking liquid in a blender until smooth; season with salt.
  • Add chile purée to pork and broth. Bring to a simmer, add hominy, and cook, skimming off fat from surface, until pork is so tender it's nearly falling apart, 45-60 minutes; season with more salt.
  • Divide posole among bowls, top with onion, cabbage, radishes, and oregano. Serve with lime wedges.
  • Do Ahead
  • Posole can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my posole didn't turn out well. The pork was tough and the broth was watery.

This posole was just okay. The pork was a little dry, and the broth was bland.
