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.
