Toasted Guajillo And Pork Posole
- 3 dried guajillo chiles
- 1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
- 3 cups water
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 medium onion, cut into 4 wedges
- 1 (7-ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 1 (29-ounce) can hominy, rinsed and drained
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
- Place chiles on a baking sheet; bake at 400u0b0 for 4 minutes or until dark. Cool; remove stems and seeds.
- Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 5 minutes or until browned. Remove pork from pan. Wipe drippings from pan; return pork to pan. Add broth and next 5 ingredients (through onion), scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add guajillo chiles and 1 tablespoon adobo sauce; reserve remaining chipotle chiles and sauce for another use. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours or until pork is tender.
- Remove chiles, onion, garlic, and 1 cup cooking liquid; place in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth; return to pan. Stir in hominy; cook 10 minutes.
