Preparation

  1. Cut the onion in half. Dice one half and cut the other half into quarters.
  2. In a medium pot, combine the quartered onion, whole garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, and the ancho, arbol, japones and guajillo chiles with enough water to cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the chiles are tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Transfer the chiles, onion, and garlic from the pot to a blender. Add 1 cup of the chile cooking liquid and blend until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Strain the puréed chiles through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl to remove any solids.
  4. In a large pot, combine 12-18 cups of water, the pork, diced onion, salt, bay leaf, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  5. Pour the puréed chiles into the pot with the pork. Stir in the hominy, then cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the pork is tender. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Ladle the hot pozole into bowls and top with shredded cabbage and Mexican oregano. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
  7. Enjoy!
