A Traditional Posole Recipe: Warm Flavors for a Cozy West Texas Evening

Posole is a traditional Mexican soup made with hominy, pork, and red chile, bringing together a blend of earthy, spicy flavors perfect for a chilly day. This recipe is easy to make and captures the heart and warmth of West Texas living.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork shoulder, cubed

• 1 can of hominy, drained and rinsed

• 1 onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 3 dried red chile peppers (such as guajillo or ancho), seeded

• 1 tsp cumin

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Toppings: chopped cilantro, diced onions, sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, lime wedges, and avocado slices

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chiles: Remove seeds from the dried chiles, then soak in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft. Blend the softened chiles with a bit of soaking water to form a smooth paste.

2. Sauté the Pork: In a large pot, brown the pork cubes over medium-high heat until they’re golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the Aromatics: Add diced onion and garlic to the pot, cooking until softened.

4. Combine Ingredients: Return the pork to the pot, add the chile paste, chicken broth, hominy, cumin, salt, and pepper.

5. Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the pork is tender and flavors are well combined.

6. Serve: Ladle the posole into bowls and top with your choice of cilantro, onions, radishes, cabbage, lime, and avocado.
