Certainly! Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup or stew that typically features hominy and meat, often garnished with radishes, lettuce, cilantro, lime, and other toppings. Here’s a simple slow cooker pozole recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cans (30 ounces) hominy, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toppings: Shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions:
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the pork cubes on all sides. This adds flavor to the pozole. Once browned, transfer the pork to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until softened. Add them to the slow cooker.
- Add the drained hominy, diced tomatoes, diced green chilies, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the flavors to meld, and the pork to become tender.
- Taste the pozole and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the pozole hot, garnished with shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
