Best Pork Pozole

 

Ingredients:

 

• 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
   
• salt and black pepper to taste
   
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
   
• 1 large sweet onion, sliced
   
• 3 garlic cloves, sliced
   
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
   
• 1 oregano teaspoon
   
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
   
• 2 cups of chicken broth
   
• 1 (141/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
   
• 1 (15 ounce) can hominy, rinsed and drained
   

 

Instructions:

 

Season the pork with salt and black pepper. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a 

6-quart saucepan and cook pork until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. 

 Transfer the pork to a large bowl and set aside.

 

Reduce heat to low and add onion to pan and, stirring occasionally, cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, oregano and smoked paprika and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

 

Return the pork to a saucepan with its juices; stir in chicken broth, tomatoes and hominy and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until pork is tender, about 45 minutes.
