MEXICAN POZOLE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the pork into chunks. Fairly big pieces are traditional, but if you prefer, cut the pork into bite-sized pieces.
• Put the pork in a large pot and add enough cool water to cover it by about 2 inches (approximately 5 to 6 cups). Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that forms in the pot.
• Remove the stem and seeds from the chiles, and peel the garlic. Add the chiles, garlic, and salt to the pork.
• Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer, cover, and cook until the pork is fork tender, about 90 minutes. Alternatively, put the covered, ovenproof pot in a 350 F oven for the same amount of time.
• After the pork has cooked, add the hominy and the Mexican oregano. Continue cooking at a simmer until the flavors blend and the pork is very tender, for another hour. Add additional water, if necessary, to keep the moisture at a good level, return the mixture to a boil and reduce back down to a simmer when needed. Add salt to taste.
• Serve the pozole in deep bowls.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro, scallion, radish, and green cabbage. If you like, squeeze fresh lime juice on top. Enjoy.
