For the Soup

Instructions

How to Make Savory Delicious Pork Pozole Verde

  • Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a large pot, heat about 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatillos and canned green chiles. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  • Pour in enough water or broth to cover the ingredients, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 1.5 hours.
  • Stir in the chopped cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice into the pot. Let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Ladle the pozole into bowls and garnish with optional toppings like avocado or radishes.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, sear the pork chunks before simmering and always use fresh ingredients for best taste.
