• Place the meat in a 4 quart slow cooker. Pour the enchilada sauce over the meat. Top with the hominy, onion, chilies, garlic, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pour in enough water to fill the slow cooker.
• Cover, and cook on High for 6 to 7 hours. Stir in the cilantro and salt. Cook on Low for 30 minutes more.

PUEBLO DRY RED POSOLE STEW (SLOW COOKER/CROCK POT FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• If using fresh or frozen hominy, boil until it pops, then reduce heat and cook until done. Reserve the water it boils inches (If using canned white or yellow hominy, reserve the juice).
• In a large frying pan, heat the oil over a medium flame.
• Add onion and cook until translucent.
• Make a 'well' in the center of the onion mixture and add the chili powder.
• Stir to dissolve the chili and mix thoroughly with the onions.
• Add the pork slices.
• Add the garlic and cumin.
• At last, add the cooked posole and 3- 4 cups liquid.
• Mix, and simmer slowly uncovered until liquid is reduced.

PUEBLO STEW

Steps:

• Melt lard in a large pot over high heat. Stir in cubed pork and coriander seeds. Cook until the pork has browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, potatoes, carrots, garlic, tomatillos, green chiles, jalapeno peppers, nopalitos, and hominy. Season with oregano and cumin seed. Add water if the mixture seems too dry.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender, about 45 minutes. To serve, ladle the stew into serving bowls and sprinkle with crumbled cheese and chopped cilantro.

POZOLE IN A SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Toast the cumin in a small pot over medium-high heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasilla chile peppers, ancho chile peppers, and guajillo chile peppers to the pot. Pour enough water into the pot to cover the peppers completely. Place the garlic cloves, onion, and tomatoes atop the chiles. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Pour the cooled mixture into a blender; puree until smooth.
• Put the pork in the bottom of a slow cooker; season generously with salt. Add the bay leaves to the slow cooker and pour the pureed chile pepper mixture over the pork.
• Cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours or overnight. Skim as much fat from the surface as possible. Remove the pork to a cutting board or bowl and shred with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.
• Combine the shredded pork with sauce, chicken stock, and hominy in a large pot over medium heat; cook until the stock is hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

VEGETARIAN POSOLE (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Put 1 cup of vegetable broth and all ingredients except for the hominy and the zucchini into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste for seasoning and spiciness - it should be a bit spicier than you want. Add additional poblanos or jalapenos, if necessary.
• Add to the slow cooker with the remaining broth and the hominy.
• Cook on low for 4 hours.
• Add the zucchini and cook for 30 minutes longer.
• Serve in bowls with your favorite garnishes.

PUEBLO WHITE POSOLE STEW

Steps:

• The stew will be thicker and more delicious if you first boil pork bones and then put the broth into the fridge overnight to let the fat rise to the surface. Take off the layer of fat the next day and use the broth in place of water for your stew.
• If using fresh or frozen posole, boil until it pops, and then add all other ingredients, cover with water (or pork broth) and simmer the stew very slowly until done.
• If using canned hominy, use the juice from the can for added flavor. Cooking time may be reduced using canned hominy.
• Adjust seasonings and serve with warm, flour tortillas.
