Pozole Rojo

[powerplantop]

Rinse 16oz White Hominy Corn (Maiz Trillado Blanco) then soak overnight.

Bring 4 pounds of pig feet (plus any extra pork bones that you have) to a boil and boil for 20 minutes.

Dump out the water. Wash the bones and pot.

Return the clean bones to pot cover with water add 1/2 onion, 7 large cloves garlic and 2 bay leaves. Cook on a slow boil for 4 hours.

Rinse the hominy add to a pot and cover with pork stock. Cook 2 hours.

Wash 10 Guajillo, 2 California and 1 Pasilla chiles. Remove the stems, seeds and veins. Rise then cover with water, bring to a boil and let sit off the heat for 1/2 hour. Blend with 2 cups of stock and a pinch of salt.

After the hominy has cooked add 1.5 pound of diced pork and chile mixture.

Add salt to taste I added a total of 1.5 Tablespoons.

Continue to cook until pork is done.

Serve with your choice of shredded cabbage, shredded lettuce, diced onion, limes, oregano, avocado.

Thanks, I'll give this a try, too. I have a recipe I love for posole verde, but haven't made a rojo yet.

I've made a variation of this dish and LOVED it. I serve it with a dollup of sour cream and tortilla chips on the side. There is something special about combining the flavor of hominy and pork.

It is a good combo!

I need to find the hominy, if I've seen it, I can't remember where. This just looks fantastic!

Wall mart in our area has both white and yellow canned hominy. I use it for corn chowder, Native American Style (Similar to posole but without the peppers).

I meant the dried hominy, not the canned, I have a cupboard full of the canned. Want to try the dried and control the salt content.

Some Mexican (but not all) markets have it. It is possible to order it online but shipping is expensive.

I'll check the Goya end at Wal-mart, it's very possible that's where I saw them.
