Mom's Posole

Ingredients

• 1 bag dried posole
• 1-2 pounds cubed pork
• 6 cloves garlic (when you warm it up add some more fresh garlic especially if you froze it)
• 1 Diced Onion
• 2 tsp saffron
• 1 tbsp Oregano
• 1-2 tbsp bouillon powder chicken or vegetable
• Olive oil
• 2-4 Chopped green chilies
• 2 tbsp green chili powder
• 1 tsp Red chili powder

Directions

• Pressure cook posole 1.5 hours in 3 cups water. You can pressure cook in 45 minute increments to check for blooming. ( see note 1 )
• Sauté onions, add garlic set aside.
• Brown pork cubes but don’t overcook as it will dry out the meat.
• Add onions, garlic and pork to posole.
• Add seasonings.
• Add extra olive oil to the pot.
• Pressure cook all ingredients for another 30-45 minutes.
• Simmer for 1 hour

Notes

1. When posole starts to bloom you are finished with this process.
2. Sometimes I use turmeric which tastes really good in it.
