Mexican Posole Stew Recipe

Mexican Posole Stew Recipe

  • 2 pounds boneless pork loin, cubed
  • 8 ounces fried pork skins
  • 2 pig's feet
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans white hominy, drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 4 dried hot red chile pepper pods, seeded and diced
  1. Place meat, pork rinds, and pork shanks in a large kettle and add about 5 quarts of water or enough to cover meat. Add approximately 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours.
  2. Remove excess grease and set aside. Reserve liquid.
  3. Wash the posole very carefully until the water is clear so as to remove lime from kernels. Put in large kettle and cover with water. Boil until posole has popped.
  4. Mix meat, posole, rind, and shanks or pigs' feet. Add oregano, garlic, onion, and chile pods. Let simmer for about 1/2 hour.
