Authentic Pork Posole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Authentic Pork Posole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven's broiler and adjusting the rack so it sits about 6 inches from the heat source.

2. Step 2

   To make cleanup a breeze, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your halved green chile peppers and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Step 4

   Pop them under the broiler and keep an eye on them as they roast; you want the skins to become beautifully blackened and blistered, which should take around 5 to 8 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once they’re ready, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap.

6. Step 6

   This steaming process will help loosen the skins, so let them sit for about 20 minutes.

7. Step 7

   After they’ve cooled, carefully remove the plastic wrap and peel off the skins.

8. Step 8

   Dice those vibrant peppers and set them aside.

9. Step 9

   In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.

10. Step 10

    Add in your chopped onion and minced garlic, letting them cook until they’re tender and fragrant—this should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time to introduce the cubed pork to the pot.

12. Step 12

    Stir it around until it’s nicely browned, which will take another 5 to 10 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Once the pork is looking good, mix in the diced green chiles and let everything cook together for an additional 5 minutes, allowing those flavors to mingle.

14. Step 14

    Now, pour in the white and yellow hominy, along with chicken broth, water, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

15. Step 15

    Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer.

16. Step 16

    This is where the magic happens—allow it to simmer for at least an hour, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.

17. Step 17

    As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your delicious creation!.
