Ingredients Pork Pork Shoulder Pork and Chorizo Pozole 5.0 (1) 1 Review Pozole is a slow-simmered, elaborately spiced Mexican stew made with hominy (dried corn kernels soaked in a mineral lime bath). This streamlined version from Chopped judge Aarón Sánchez, chef at Mestizo in Leawood, Kansas, uses two time-saving ingredients: fresh chorizo (which is already spiced) and pork cut into small, quick-cooking cubes.

Ingredients 1/4 cup olive oil 2 pounds trimmed boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes Salt Freshly ground pepper 1 large white onion, quartered 2 cloves 1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican, plus more for garnish 2 bay leaves 2 quarts beef broth 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed 4 plum tomatoes, halved 3 garlic cloves 1 ounce each of ancho and guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded 1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed Two 15-ounce cans white hominy, drained and rinsed Thinly sliced radishes, chopped onion and cilantro and lime wedges, for serving Directions In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper, add to the casserole and cook over moderately high heat, stirring twice, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add 1 piece of the quartered onion, the cloves, the 1 tablespoon of oregano, the bay leaves and 6 cups of the beef broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over moderately low heat until the pork is tender, about 40 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet. In a large bowl, toss the tomatillos, tomatoes, garlic and remaining 3 pieces of onion with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until blistered in spots, about 10 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a blender. In the same skillet, toast the chiles over moderately high heat until slightly darkened, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups of beef broth and bring to a simmer; cover the skillet, remove from the heat and let the chiles soften for 5 minutes. Add the chiles and broth to the blender with the vegetables and puree until smooth. Strain the vegetable-chile puree into a bowl. Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add the chorizo and cook over moderate heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo, hominy and vegetable-chile puree to the casserole and bring the pozole to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish the pozole with radishes, onion, cilantro and oregano and serve with lime wedges. Rate it Print
