EASY PORK POZOLE VERDE RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the pork (or chicken) generously with salt and pepper on all sides. In a large Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven over medium heat, pan sear the pork (or chicken) until they are browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Work in batches.
• Add all the seared pork into the dutch oven. Then, add the water, broth, bay leaf, and chopped onion. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the pork is tender and easily breaks apart with a fork.
• PREPARE THE VERDE SAUCE.While the dish is simmering, prepare the verde sauce. Add the ingredients for the sauce into a blender and pulse until fully combined. In a separate saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of cooking oil. Then, add the verde sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until it becomes a deeper green. Make sure to stir occasionally.
• Returning to the simmering meat, first, remove the excess fat that may have accumulated on the side of the pot. Then, remove any of the bones. Take the larger pieces of pork and shred them. (If using a large pork shoulder or chicken, shred all of it)
• Add the green sauce and hominy to the dutch oven with the meat and broth. Stir to combine, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the dish simmer for about 30 minutes.
• Serve the Pozole Verde with your favorite toppings and ENJOY!

MEXICAN POZOLE VERDE (GREEN POZOLE )

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, bring the chicken stock, salt, coriander, cumin, oregano, epazote, cumin and pepper to a boil. Add the chicken breasts, cover and simmer gently over low heat until they're tender and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and shred the meat, skim the stock, and return the chicken back to the stock.
• In a blender, add one cup of water. Add tomatillos, onion, garlic, poblanos and jalapeno garlic. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides if necessary.
• In a skillet, heat the oil and add tomatillo puree and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce turns a deep green, about 10 minutes. To the blender ( it's ok if its not rinsed) ladle in 1 cup of broth from the chicken soup pot, set aside.
• Pour the cooked Verde sauce into the chicken soup pot. Add the 3 cups of the hominy (reserving 1 cup) and bring to a gentle simmer over moderate heat.
• Add the cilantro and their tender stems into the blender with the chicken stock, cover tightly with a kitchen towel and blend until smooth. Add the reserved 1 cup of hominy. Blend again until smooth. If you need more liquid to get the blender going, just ladle from the pot. Add this to the soup.
• Taste the soup. Season with salt, pepper and cook on warm just until heated through -do not boil, or you will lose the lovely color. If soup lacks depth, add more salt and or a couple of chicken bouillon cubes ( or a couple teaspoons of chicken boullion paste or even a splash of soy sauce). The goal here is to get enough depth in the soup to balance out the tartness from the tomatillos and heat from the chilies.
• Serve the Posole in bowls, along with sour cream and any or all of the sides, letting people add whatever toppings they want.
