POSOLE ROJO

Steps:

• Break the stems off the chiles de arbol and ancho chiles and shake out as many seeds as possible. Put the chiles in a bowl and cover with boiling water; weigh down the chiles with a plate to keep them submerged and soak until soft, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chiles and 1 1/2 cups of the soaking liquid to a blender. Add the smashed garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pushing the sauce through with a rubber spatula; discard the solids.
• Rub the pork all over with the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high. Push the onion and garlic to one side of the pot; add the pork to the other side and sear, turning, until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in 2 cups water, the chicken broth, oregano, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of the chile sauce (depending on your taste). Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Partially cover and cook, turning the pork a few times, until tender, about 3 hours.
• Stir in the hominy and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the pork starts falling apart, about 1 more hour. Remove the bay leaf. Transfer the pork to a cutting board; roughly chop and return to the pot. Add some water or broth if the posole is too thick. Season with salt. Serve with assorted toppings and the remaining chile sauce.

AUTHENTIC NEW MEXICO POSOLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add meat to a large Dutch oven and fill with water leaving a couple of inches from the top.
• Add bay leaf, salt, and garlic. Bring to a boil and continue to cook for 3-4 hours lowering the heat to prevent the water from boiling over. As the soup cooks add water as it evaporates so the meat continues to be covered.
• When meat is tender remove the bay leaf and discard.
• When the pork is tender, you can remove the meat and shred with two forks picking out the fat as you go, or just cut the meat into chunks.
• Next add red chili sauce, chili powder and cumin.
• Add hominy and cook for an additional ½ hour to 40 minutes.
• Taste and add additional salt if needed. The garnishes are optional, but they definitely make the meal! Shredded cabbage, diced onions and radish slices.

PRESSURE COOKER POSOLE

Steps:

• Add the posole to the pot. Cover with water to the "maximum" line. Pressure cook on "beans" setting medium (about 15 minutes) or about 15 minutes if doing it on the cook top. Do a natural release for about 5 minutes, then release the pressure. Drain posole, and set aside. It should be tender but firm. Rinse and dry the pot. Brown pork cubes with chopped onion, garlic, and cumin on the saute or browning setting (medium-high on cook top). Whisk red chile powder into the chicken broth/stock. Add to the pot along with the beer (if using), Mexican oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Note: This amount goes right to the maximum fill line of my 6 quart pressure cooker. Set to the "stew" setting or on the cook top for about 20 minutes. While the pork cooks, prepare the garnishes. Do a natural pressure release. Add the posole into the pot with the tender pork. Stir to combine. Ladle the posole into bowls, and top with preferred garnishes. Enjoy!
