Best Crock Pot Posole Recipe Recipe For Hand

SLOW COOKER POSOLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 10- or 12-inch skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Season the pork pieces lightly with salt and pepper. Add the pork in a single layer and brown on all sides (may need to do this in batches so the pan doesn't get crowded - otherwise the meat steams instead of browning nicely). Transfer the meat to a 6- or 8-quart slow cooker.
• To the skillet, add the onions and cook on medium-low or medium heat until the onions start to soften, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute or so. Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker.
• Add the enchilada sauce, salsa verde, broth, green chiles, drained hominy, oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper. Give the mixture a good stir.
• Cover and cook on high for 6-7 hours (or low for 8-9 hours) until the pork is fall apart tender. Thin with broth, if desired, and heat through.
• Stir in the cilantro. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with shredded cabbage, sliced avocado, fresh lime wedges, tortilla chips, shredded cheese, etc.

SLOW COOKER PORK POSOLE

Steps:

• Preheat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker on high until warm, about 20 minutes. Season the pork with salt.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil. Add the pork to the skillet and cook, turning as needed, until the pieces are browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
• In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onion, garlic, and chili powder and sauté until softened, about 6 minutes.
• Add 2 cups broth and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Transfer everything in the skillet to the slow cooker along with 2 cups broth. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
• Using tongs or a slotted spoon transfer the pork to a large bowl and, using 2 forks, shred the pork. Return the pork to the slow cooker and stir in the hominy. Stir to combine and to warm the pork. Season with salt to taste.
• Serve the posole with avocado, radishes, tortilla strips, and lime on the side for each person to add as desired.

QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN POZOLE

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or saucepot set over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add the oregano, coriander and cumin, and cook until slightly darkened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green chiles, chopped tomatoes, salsa verde and cook until it just comes to a boil, about 2 minutes. Add the hominy and chicken broth and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and cook until heated through, 3 minutes.
• To serve, divide among 4 bowls and garnish as desired.

EASY RED POSOLE FOR THE PRESSURE COOKER OR CROCK POT

Steps:

• Set an electric pressure cooker on the saute setting and add the oil. When oil is hot, add the pork, onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, oregano and paprika. Saute until meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat.
• Add enchilada sauce, green chiles (undrained) and chicken broth, and stir to blend. Place the lid on the pressure cooker and cook using the soup setting, or cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Release pressure using a natural pressure release.
• When pressure is released, remove the lid and add the hominy. Select the saute setting and simmer the soup for 10 minutes to heat through. Add the lime juice and cilantro.
• (Optional) Saute the pork, onions and seasonings as directed above, using a heavy-bottomed pot. Transfer to slow cooker.
• Add enchilada sauce, green chiles and chicken stock, and stir. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
• Add hominy and cook an additional 30 minutes until heated through. Add lime juice and cilantro.
