Quick & Easy Pozole (Pork & Hominy Stew)
"Pozole is usually a slow-cooked braise of pork shoulder, chiles, and hominy, made colorful with a garnish of radishes, cilantro, lime, and avocado. It’s hearty, earthy, delicious . . . and time-consuming. However, this version uses pork loin (or tenderloin) and canned hominy (available in the Latin-foods section of most supermarkets) to turn a Sunday ritual into an everyday treat, and a refreshing break from the usual type of stew...."
