Treat your ingredients with care...
- Pork shoulder — Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder before cutting it into chunks for a leaner stew.
- Hominy — If you can't find canned hominy, you can use dried hominy. Soak it overnight and cook it separately before adding it to the stew.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers to the stew.
- To save time, you can use a pressure cooker to cook the pork shoulder. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cooking times.
- Leftover Pozole Blanco can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious.
Serving advice
Serve Pozole Blanco in bowls, allowing each person to customize their toppings according to their taste preferences. Provide warm tortillas or crusty bread on the side for dipping.
Presentation advice
When serving Pozole Blanco, make sure to ladle the stew into bowls generously, showcasing the vibrant colors of the garnishes. Sprinkle some dried oregano on top for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
