SPICY PORK POSOLE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle tenderloin with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook until meat no longer sticks to pot, about 2 minutes. Turn and repeat on other side, then remove and slice into 1/4-inch strips. Add onion and garlic to pot; reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is transparent, 15 to 20 minutes; reduce heat as needed to keep from burning. During last minute of cooking, stir chili powder into onion mixture. Return meat to pot, along with hominy, broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Add cabbage, cover and cook another 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Divide stew among 4 bowls; serve garnished with radishes, avocado and jalapeño.

TRACY'S SPICY POSOLE

Steps:

• Boil meat in chicken broth until mostly done. Remove meat and cool.
• Chop peppers and garlic and soak in a little of the warm broth for about 10 minutes.
• Process peppers and garlic and small food processor.
• Setting aside remaining broth, use pot to cook onions and tomatillos in a little oil.
• Add oregano, salt, and pepper, chopped chilies, and cut up meat (bite sized chunks), reserved broth, and hominy.
• Bring to a boil then simmer 1 hour or more.
• You may need to add more broth near the end if you want more juice. As the soup sits overnight, the hominy and tomatillos will slightly dissolve into the juices and make it a bit of a thicker, richer, and add tons more flavor to the liquid of the soup.
• Serve with restaurant style tortilla chips, fresh slices of avocado and fresh squeezed lime juice over the bowl for a fresh kick.
