How to Make Posole

Step-by-Step

Cut pork into 1-inch pieces.
Place pork and pigs knuckles in a very large soup or stock pot with chicken broth, water, onions, garlic, Menudo Seasoning Mix, salt, coriander, oregano, the crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
Simmer, covered, for 1 ½ hours till pork is tender.
Remove the pigs feet from the pot; remove the meat from the bone and return the meat back to the pot.
Add drained hominy; cover and simmer 30 minutes longer.
Garnish with crushed red pepper, chopped onion, dried oregano, lemon and lime wedges to taste.
Serve with saltine crackers or corn or flour tortillas.
