Posole

2 tablespoons of canola or corn oil
1 pound of pork stew meat (I use lean meat)
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons Chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Oregano
4 cups of chicken stock (I use low-sodium)
1-14 ounce can of Fire Roasted diced tomatoes
1-15 ounce can of white Hominy, drained and rinsed
1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (I used some of the seeds to add some spice to it)
salt and pepper to taste
*optional* you can garnish with Avocado slices and/or green onions

In a large pot over medium heat add the oil, then add the pork and cook on all sides for about 3 to 4 minutes and then remove the pork to a bowl.

Then add the onion to the pot and then after a couple of minutes add the garlic, cumin, chili powder and oregano.  Let all of those flavors come together for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Then add the stock, tomatoes, jalapeno, hominy, pork, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil and let it boil for about 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 30 minutes.

Then ladle the posole into 4 separate bowls and serve with the garnish that you prefer and a warm tortilla if you would like.

Enjoy!!!!
