• Boil about 2 cups of water. Add your dried chiles (wear gloves!) that have had the stems and seeds removed to a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and weigh down with another plate to ensure they are fully submerged. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer softened chiles along with 1 1/2 cups of the soaking water and the chopped garlic to a blender. Process until smooth and set aside.
• To cook in the crockpot: Cut the pork into bite sized pieces. In a large saute pan, cook the onion and pork on high heat, turning only once, for a total of about 8 minutes to brown. Transfer onion and pork to a slow cooker. Add chicken broth, hominy, salt, and 1/4 - 3/4 cup of the chile sauce to the slow cooker.

When cool enough to handle, shred the meat, discard the fat, and add the meat back to the soup. Add hominy to the hot broth and allow everything to heat through before serving. Add additional chile sauce and/or salt, to taste.

POZOLE ROJO MEXICAN STYLE PORK AND HOMINY SOUP

Steps:

• Prepare Chiles: Using a kitchen scale weigh out an even proportion of two pounds each of Guajillo and Ancho chile peppers. Please note: One would think by using all these peppers that this soup would be spicy hot but it's not. Not at all. I had a hard time finding the peppers in my grocery store. If you can't find them in the isle with all the Mexican food you may want to try looking in the produce section.Prepare the Chile peppers by cutting them down the center. Remove seeds, stems and veins.Place peppers in a skillet and cook over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes to lightly roast. Stir constantly. Be careful not to burn peppers. This process softens the peppers and helps with releasing their flavor.
• In the meantime prepare a large stock pot with 5 quarts of water and bring to a boil.
• Making Red Sauce: Add 3 cups water to peppers and bring to boil. Reduce heat and allow soaking for about 15 minutes.After the peppers have been soaking for 15 minutes, using tongs remove Chile peppers and place them in a blender or food processor. Add 1 cup of the water they were soaking in and blend. Then add the rest of their water and continue blending. This is the red sauce for the soup.Strain red sauce through a sieve to remove any particles. Place strained red sauce into stock pot with pork.
• Brown Meat: Add 2 Tablespoons olive oil to skillet and brown pork. While cooking season with salt. Just before the pork is browned add garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes or until browned. Transfer mixture to stock pot.
• Bringing it all together: Add hominy, bay leaves, cumin, oregano and 1 Tablespoon salt to stock pot and cook for 3 hours or until pork is tender.
• Serve with a plate of garnishes of radishes, sliced cabbage, avocados, raw onions, cilantro and corn or flour tortillas. Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Pork and broth: put pork chops in a large pan and cover with water. toss in the onion, celery, garlic, boulion cubes, oregano and bay leaves and simmer for a few hours until they are tender enough to pull off the bone. remove the chops and cool on a plate. While the chops cool, pour the broth through a mesh strainer to remove and discard all the pieces of onion, celery and bay leaves, then return broth to the same pot. Remove the pork from the bones when cool and shred the meat by hand, returning to the pot. Drain and add 2 30 oz cans of hominy to the pot. Place on a low simmer.
• 2. Chile Sauce: Guajillo chiles are NOT spicy at all, but bring a wonderful and earthy flavor to this soup when added in this way. To make this sauce, bring garlic, 1 tsp salt, and the whole bag of chiles to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for about an hour. If the water boils down too much, add more water as necessary to keep the peppers covered. then turn off the heat to cool a little. When slightly cooled, put the peppers, garlic and about half of the sauce in a food processor and puree. After you add the pork back to the pork broth, put a strainer over the pot and pour the pureed chile mix into the strainer and push it through with a rubber spatula. You are removing the bits of skin and seeds that remain, and the puree of chile will drop through into the soup. If there is additional liquid from the boiled chiles pour this through as well so that the flavors are not lost ... this is filled with wonderful flavor that should not be lost!
• 3. after the chile sauce is added, simmer the soup for about a half hour. 5 minutes before serving, add a tablespoon of lemon or lime juice to the pot, taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary.
• 4. Spoon into a bowl and serve. Put the toppings in bowls/plates on the table, and let your guests use the toppings as they please.
