• *Posole tip: Put your dry Posole in a pot of water, add a whole lime's worth of juice and soak for a full day. This way your Posole will "pop" sooner. 1. Rub half of the red chile powder into the roast, then season with salt and pepper. Add chicken broth and spices. 2. Heat on low for 6-8 hours, until posole has popped and is tender. If you have soaked your posole first, you may only need to cook for 4-6 hours. 3.

In the pot, gently pull the pork roast apart into smaller pieces; it should shred at this point. 5. Salt the stew to taste, garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve.
