Party Posole Rojo

Ingredients for Party Posole Rojo

• 675g dried large white hominy, soaked overnight

• 2 large onions, peeled

• 2 hojas de laurel

• 6 granos de pimienta negra

• 3 tablespoons kosher salt, divided

• 1.8kg bone-in country-style pork ribs

• 1 cucharada de comino molido

• 6 dientes de ajo, finamente picados

• 70g dried New Mexico chillies

• 70g ancho chillies

• 1 cebolla grande, picada en trozos grandes

• 6 garlic cloves, crushed

• 60ml de vinagre de sidra de manzana

• 2 cucharaditas de azúcar moreno claro

• 1 cucharadita de sal kosher, más al gusto

• Avocado wedges, coriander sprigs, thinly sliced cabbage, sliced jalapeños, sliced radishes, lime wedges, soured cream, tortilla crisps, and hot sauce (for serving)

Drain hominy and place in a large heavy pot; add onions, bay leaves, peppercorns, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2875ml water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, still covered, stirring occasionally, until hominy starts to soften (some skins will split), about 1 hour.

Sprinkle pork all over with cumin and remaining 1 tablespoon salt. Add to pot along with garlic; pour in water to cover by 1". Partially cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water as needed to keep ingredients covered, until hominy is tender (some may unfurl like popped popcorn, and that’s okay) and pork is fall-apart tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

While the posole is cooking, make the chilli purée. Wearing gloves if you have them, remove stems from chillies and shake out and discard most of the seeds (for more heat, keep more seeds). Transfer to a large bowl and add onion and garlic; pour in boiling water to cover. Let sit until chillies are softened, about 30 minutes.

Drain chilli mixture, reserving soaking liquid, and transfer chillies, onion, and garlic to a blender. Add vinegar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 240ml soaking liquid and blend until smooth.

When posole is done, remove pork, onions, and bay leaves from pot (keep posole simmering). Transfer pork to a plate; discard onions and bay leaves. Let pork cool slightly, then pick meat from bones, discarding any cartilage and larger pieces of fat. Shred meat into bite-size pieces and return to pot; discard bones.

Stir chilli purée into posole and let simmer 30 minutes to allow flavours to meld. Taste and season with more salt.

Divide posole among bowls. Serve with avocado, coriander, cabbage, jalapeños, radishes, lime wedges, soured cream, tortilla crisps, and hot sauce alongside for topping.

Posole can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool, then cover and chill.
