Pork Posole Recipe

Pork Posole Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3/4 pound boneless pork loin chops, trimmed of fat and diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans hominy, rinsed (see Ingredient Note)
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, or more to taste
  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, stirring once, until just browned on one or two sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low; add onion and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and golden brown and any moisture has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin and coriander and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 2 cups water, broth and cornmeal. Bring to a simmer over high heat, stirring often. Add hominy, chiles, pepper and salt; return to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the onion is very soft and the mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice to taste.
  3. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
