  6. Tear the chile into large pieces and add it to the posole along with the onion and garlic.
  7. Simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Add a large pinch of salt and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the posole and pork are tender, about 3 hours.
  9. Remove the pork from the stew.
  10. Cut the meat from the bone and discard any fat and gristle.
  11. Cut the pork into 2-inch chunks, return it to the stew and keep warm over low heat.
