This is the easiest recipe I've found for making Pozole. Your kitchen never smelled so good! Excellent on cool or cold day. We garnish it with cilantro and sliced radishes and serve with a side of Mexican rice and tortillas.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 1 dried chile negro (pasilla) soaked in boiling water for 30 minutes, and drained
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 3/4 pound pork tenderloin, cubed
- 3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 2 inch pieces
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed garlic
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can white hominy, drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can yellow hominy, drained
PREPARATION:
Remove the stem from the rehydrated chile pepper. Combine with 1 can of chicken broth in a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Pour into a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker.
Pour in the remaining can of chicken broth, and add the pork, chicken, onion, garlic, green chilies, and white and yellow hominy. Season with the bay leaf, oregano, and cumin. Cover, and cook on High for 4 to 5 hours, or on Low for 6 to 7 hours. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
