Rating5.0 Difficulty Beginner Posole (also spelled Pozole), while served all year long, is traditionally served around Christmas in New Mexico due to it's festive red and green colors. While you can make your own red chile sauce, I've found it's more work than it's worth. If you you'd like a recipe for a red chile sauce though, let me know in the comments and I'll add it.
Yields 8 Servings Quarter (2 Servings) Half (4 Servings) Default (8 Servings) Double (16 Servings) Triple (24 Servings) Prep Time 10 minsCook Time 1 hrTotal Time 1 hr 10 minsIngredients:
2 lbs Pork Shoulder/Butt, cubed - You can substitute either beef or chicken instead if you prefer!
62 oz White or Golden Hominy (4 med. sized cans), drained (or do 2 of each like I do!)
1 White or Yellow Onion, chopped

1 Bunch Cilantro, chopped
2 Limes, cut into small small wedges

Radish, sliced
Cabbage, shredded
Vegetarian Version:
Instead of Chicken Broth, just use vegetable broth or water
Replace the meat with potatoes or even zucchini or just add more hominy

3 Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
4 Serve in bowls, garnish bowls with cilantro and lime to taste.
