Authentic Pozole Rojo (Red Posole Recipe with Pork)<\/strong> \u2013 This EASY posole soup from Mexico offers bold spices, chunks of tender pork<\/a>, and hearty hominy, with cool crunchy toppings<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n I have always loved adventuring and exploring the unordinary. Just as no two cities are the same, no two bowls of posole are the same. This easy authentic posole recipe is the ticket to lots of smiles around your dinner table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pork Posole is a cross between soup and stew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some might ask what Pozole means\u2026 Since hominy is one of the main ingredients in Pork Posole, pozole actually means hominy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hominy is dried corn (or maize) kernels that have been soaked in water (with lime) to remove the tough outer husk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooked hominy has a similar texture to corn tortillas, because traditional corn tortillas are made out of masa\u2026 Which is made out of dried ground hominy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s right, without hominy we wouldn\u2019t have delicious rustic corn tortillas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This Red Posole Recipe with Pork (Pozole Rojo) is commonly enjoyed on Christmas and Mexican Independence Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only is Pozole a soup for special occasions, but it is also a comfort food<\/a> that can be enjoyed on a rainy day or for your Cinco de Mayo feast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many variations of posole including white (blanco) posole, red (rojo) posole, and green (verde) pozole<\/a> depending on the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The colors of the traditional Pozole soups make up the colors of the Mexican flag, green, red, and white!<\/p>\n\n\n\n A traditional pozole recipe is made with pork, hominy, and garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, with many variations comes many different ways to top this particular soup ranging from radishes and cilantro to avocado and chiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shredded cabbage or lettuce is also a traditional garnish, but I prefer it without. You can also garnish with lime wedges as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also check out our Pozole Verde<\/a>, made with chicken and tomatillos!<\/p>\n\n\n Hominy is dried corn kernels that have been soaked in water with lime, until the tough hulls come off. The pieces are soft and swollen with a delicate \u201cdumpling\u201d texture. For this recipe, I used the canned hominy from Bush’s Best.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can store these leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, and the flavor will improve with time. You can keep this dish in the freezer for up to 3 months. This Mexican soup is great to make in a large pot and store for later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you can! Swap the pork for chicken or shrimp. If using shrimp, add it 5-10 minutes before ready to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main ingredients of Red Posole are hominy, pork, garlic, and chiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The flavor comes from the union of chiles, pork, onions, and garlic, plus the toppings of radishes, cilantro avocado, and tortilla chips. It tastes rich and heavy, yet the fresh toppings lighten the flavor and add irresistible contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you can. Be sure to cover the lid with a towel, to protect against hot liquid splashing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water. Mix it into a loose paste. Then slowly stir the slurry into the simmering soup until you reach the desired thickness. The soup must be simmering (a low boil) in order for the cornstarch to thicken the broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check this dishes printable recipe card below for the prep time, cook time, and nutrition information including calories, carbohydrates, protein, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, fiber, vitamin, and calcium percentages.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
