Posole (Mexican Soup with Pork and Hominy)

https://www.justoffbase.co.uk/uncategorized/ds2yhqxvi Another soup recipe for your cold winter nights.

Order Valium India Ok, I’m probably the only person looking at this blog that loves hominy. I don’t care if it is the white or yellow. I like it. If you have never tried it then I’m sure you are wondering what the heck is that stuff that looks like corn on steroids.

https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/urjpyrs Hominy is basically dried corn that has been soaked in mineral lime bath and the alkali process loosens the hulls from the kernels and softens the kernels. The process can cause the kernels to double in size. I’ve read that sometimes the lime is replaced with lye (that is what I had always heard). So, long story short, without hominy, no tortillas, no tacos, tamales or masa. So, anytime you eat any of these products, then you have eaten hominy.

I remember as a kid, one of my favorite meals (our mother cooked everything homemade so don’t know when we ever ate this) was mashed potatoes with “canned” Krey sliced roast beef in gravy that we put on top of the mashed potatoes and then some white hominy on the side with some butter and salt and pepper.

https://gungrove.com/ogzj57s A few years ago I saw this soup prepared on one of the Food Network shows and thought it sounded so interesting. This recipe calls for cooked pork shoulder; I’m using some left over pork loin roast my husband smoked for a long time over the weekend and ended up chopping it up. So, if you have some bbq laying around that is not smothered in sauce, throw it in this soup. I also liked the idea of adding some tomato to the soup so I added in a can of drained Rotel tomatoes. You would not have to drain it though.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: I posted Avocado Shrimp Salad back in 2011 and is a great little salad for lunch or for your girls night out dinner.
