Leta's Pozole

Andy's mom makes the best Pozole (also spelled Posole). Ok, it's pretty much the only Pozole I've ever had, but it's delicious! Last night we made it at Andy's new house and it was enough for me and three dudes.

What's in it
oil
1 lg yellow onion, chopped
2 lb (or so) pork shoulder/loin cut in small cubes
tall can of canned beer
cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder (sweet)
2 cans green chili, drained and chopped
1 lg can hominy, drained
1 small can corn, drained
steamed tortillas
mexican cheese, crumbled (Alexis, help me with the name here) or grated monterey jack
lime
chopped cilantro

How it's done
In a dutch oven, clear onions in oil on stovetop. Add pork and brown. Then add beer and spices, cover and simmer 45-60 minutes. Add cans of hominy, corn, chili. Simmer until warmed.

Serve topped with cheese, cilantro and lime. Eat with steamed tortillas (use them to pinch of pieces of the stew).

*We had this for dinner again tonight (July 2010) with Ngoc and Dave, and Dave's (mexican) grandma makes traditional pozole. He recommended adding a ham hock or pig's foot to the broth for stewing, and also recommended adding shredded fresh cabbage for garnish and sliced radishes.
