I just made this tonight, using the last of my smoked pork butt
Oh man, it smells good! I just hope my stove doesn't malfunction like the last time I tried to make a soup.
Here's the recipe:
Smoked Pork Posolé
Yields: ~ 2 qt
2 T vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
1 T garlic, minced
1 t oregano
1 T chili powder
½ t chipotle puree
1 - 1 ½ t salt, or to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
One 8 oz can tomato sauce
1# smoked, pulled, pork, roughly chopped if needed
One 15 oz can hominy
1 qt pork stock
1 - 2 T smoked pork gelatin (reserved from when the pork was smoked), optional
Garnishes:
Fried Tortilla strips
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, oregano, chili powder, chipotle puree, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onions begin to wilt. Add the tomato sauce, and cook until the tomato begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Add the pork, hominy, stock, and gelatin (optional), and mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the flavors marry, about 30 minutes.
To serve, ladle into a bowl, top with the garnishes of your choice, and enjoy!
