Green Chile Pork Posole


  • Author: Meara Perrin

Description

An alternative to the red posole, this is a favorite of guests at the Annual Smoker Party. Just something I sort of created one day with leftover pork and eventually wrote down.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 small pork loins (you know those little pre-marinated kind at the store)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tbsp garlic
  • Meara spice (lots)
  • 1 large can (family size) white hominy *Yellow is ok, but stronger tasting
  • 1 large can diced green chiles
  • 2 tabs butter
  • 1 bag frozen petite golden and white corn
  • 1/2 C white wine or light beer
  • Pinto beans
  • Chicken broth or Caldo de Pollo w/water
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Crema Mexicana Sour cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Coat Dutch oven with evoo on med-high heat and roast meat all sides.
  2. Add onion, garlic, broth, spice and simmer for 1-2 hours on low-med heat.
  3. When ready, pull apart/shred meat and add twice drained hominy and non-drained green chiles, beans, butter, wine. Add water if needed and continue to simmer.
  4. 10 minutes prior to serving raise the heat and add the frozen corn.
  5. When serving, add a pinch of cilantro and a spoonful of the sour cream (its more runny than regular but creamier tasting).

Notes

  • Warm tortillas or cornbread are a good addition too. Surprisingly filling “soup”.
