How to Make Pork Hominy In Red Chiles Soup Stew

  1. In a medium-large saucepan, add 8 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1.5 lbs of cubed pork.
  2. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  3. Cook the pork for approximately 20 minutes, or until just tender.
  4. Remove the pork from the water using a slotted spoon and set aside. Cover with a damp cloth to keep moist.
  5. In the same saucepan, add 8 dried ancho chiles to the pork cooking liquid.
  6. Remove from heat and let the peppers soak for 20 minutes.
  7. Transfer the softened chiles and soaking liquid to a food processor or blender.
  8. Add 4 cloves of garlic and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Blend until completely smooth.
  9. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  10. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and sauté, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly browned (about 10 minutes).
  11. Stir in 2 cups of hominy and the pureed ancho chile mixture.
  12. Add 2 cups of chicken broth (or more, as needed) to reach your desired consistency (slightly thinner than desired).
  13. Stir in the reserved pork. Bring the soup to a boil.
  14. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the pork is very tender, about 30 minutes.
  15. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
  16. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with your favorite condiments (optional).
