Grandma's Authentic & Classic Homemade POZOLE ROJO! 🔥👵🍲

pork

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are generally less expensive and can be more flavorful.

chili peppers

🥗Healthier: fresh jalapeños

💰Cheaper: dried chili flakes

Dried chili flakes are often cheaper and can be used to adjust spice levels.

Soak the dried hominy overnight for at least 24 hours to soften it.

In a large pot, boil the pork shoulder and neck bones until tender, then shred the meat.

Sauté the whole onion and head of garlic until fragrant.

Add the bay leaves, New Mexico chile pods, ancho chiles, and the remaining onion and garlic to the pot.

Stir in the soaked hominy and enough water to cover all ingredients.

Simmer for several hours until the hominy is tender and the flavors meld together.
