Before you jump to Pozole (Mexican Hominy Stew) recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Ways To Live Green And Save Money In The Kitchen.

Until fairly recently anyone who expressed concern about the wreckage of the environment raised skeptical eyebrows. That has completely changed now, since we all seem to have an awareness that the planet is having difficulties, and we all have a part to play in fixing it. According to the experts, to clean up the surroundings we are all going to have to make some improvements. Each and every family must start creating changes that are environmentally friendly and they have to do this soon. Continue reading for some methods to go green and save energy, generally in the kitchen.

You may well prefer preparing food with your oven, but using a microwave instead will cost you much less money. The energy used by cooking in an oven is definitely greater by 75%, and perhaps this little bit of knowledge will spur you on to use the microwave more frequently. Countertop appliances will boil water or even steam vegetables more rapidly than your stove, and use a lot less electricity. You could well be forgiven for thinking that an automatic dishwasher uses more energy than washing dishes the old-fashioned way, but you would be wrong. Mainly if you ensure that the dishwasher is full previous to starting a cycle. Don’t dry the dishes by using heat, make use of the cool dry or air dry functions to increase the money you save.

The kitchen alone offers you many small methods by which energy and money can be saved. Eco-friendly living just isn’t that difficult. Largely, all it takes is a little common sense.

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to pozole (mexican hominy stew) recipe. To cook pozole (mexican hominy stew) you only need 10 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

The ingredients needed to cook Pozole (Mexican Hominy Stew):
  1. Get 1.5 # Pozole (Hominy) may be canned or fresh most often found in Latin Stores
  2. Take 1.5 # Pork Butt (Boston Butt) or other suitable Port Roast cut in large chunks (2 in.)
  3. Use 1.5 # Pork Belly cut in large chunks (2in.)
  4. You need 10 large Dried Chiles (Guajillo, New Mexico)
  5. Prepare 1 Yellow or White Onion stuck with 2-4 whole cloves
  6. Take 1 Tbsp +/- Garlic
  7. Take 1 Bay Leaf
  8. Use 2 tsp Toasted Cumin Seeds (important to toast them)
  9. Prepare Salt and Pepper
  10. Get Lime wedges, Finely Chopped Onion, Chopped Cilantro, Oregano for garnish
Instructions to make Pozole (Mexican Hominy Stew):
  1. If using fresh Hominy (Pozole), soak overnight as you would dried beans if you want. If using canned Hominy, skip to step 3. I have to say either Pozole works, but fresh gives that "authentic" flair.
  2. Drain the hominy and put in a large "caldero" or soup pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Let simmer briskly for 1 hour.
  3. During Hominy cooking, toast Chiles in skillet or grill top taking care not to burn and develop a really off flavor. After, slit lengthwise and remove stems and seeds.
  4. Place Chiles in pot with 4 cups of water, simmer 30 minutes and allow to cool. Blend to a paste using some of the water you simmered with making a consistency of roughly pancake batter.
  5. Season Pork Belly and Shoulder with Salt and Pepper. I prefer to sear (Brown) the Shoulder, but the choice is yours. Either way, after Pozole has been cooking 1 hour, add the Pork Belly and Shoulder to the pot. Add the Onion with Cloves, Toasted Cumin Seeds, Bay Leaf and Garlic.
  6. Cover with enough water 2 inches, then bring back to a brisk simmer. Top with water occasionally and taste broth for salt, simmer for about 2 1/2 hours more, meat should be tender and pozole grains should have softened and burst. Skim fat from surface if desired.
  7. Add 1 cup chile purée and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and correct seasoning. Add more purée if desired.
  8. When serving, put pozole, meat and broth into big bowls. Garnish with pieces of thinly sliced cabbage, diced onion, lime wedges, cilantro and oregano as desired.
  9. In my pic, I had White Rice left over so I just served over that. I KNOW….2 starches…..sue me!
