pozole
My husband loves pozole, but I have always hated making it because it takes so long. When I bought my pressure cooker, I thought of a new way to make it. This semi-homemade recipe was an instant hit in my household!

Talk about Tender with a capital T! The pressure cooker really cooks this pork, to melt in your mouth perfection. The soup is spicy and garlicky with a hint of tomato flavor. Add a little cheese and cilantro and you have a fiesta in a bowl.

How To Make pozole
-
Step 1In a large bowl, mix cubed pork with the dry seasonings until evenly coated.
-
Step 2Heat oil in a large skillet.
-
Step 3In small batches, brown the pork in hot oil. Remove and set aside browned meat.
-
Step 4Sauté onions and chopped garlic in the remaining oil. Add more oil to the skillet if necessary.
-
Step 5Return the brown meat to the skillet and mix with the onions and garlic. Add both cans of drained hominy, and mix.
-
Step 6Next, pour the enchilada sauce then the broth over the meat mixture. Stir the ingredients and bring to a near boil.
-
Step 7Transfer the soup to a large pressure cooker. Cover and lock the pressure cooker according to the manufacturer directions.
-
Step 8Cook at 15 pounds of pressure for 8 minutes. Allow the pressure to come down naturally. If you do not have a pressure cooker, bring the ingredients to a boil then simmer until the meat is tender.

Step 9Serve the pozole with the following optional toppings: shredded cabbage, lime wedges, chopped onions, cilantro, shredded cheese, and fried corn tortilla strips. My family also enjoys topping it with our chipotle cream sauce (see my recipe).
