Pretty quick and easy to prepare, Mexican Please explains that pozole verde is a great weeknight dinner choice. Most recipes call for chicken or pork, gravy, tomatoes, chilies, onions, garlic, and hominy, which you can find at many grocery or specialty stores. For a quicker meal, choose canned hominy; You can also do it yourself, though The Splendid Table reports that you should be prepared for this step to add hours to your cooking time.
You’ll want to start by prepping your meat to make it tender: Food and Wine recommends simmering chicken breasts over low heat for 25 minutes; Alternatively, Restless Chipotle says you can use a slow cooker to achieve that perfect meat you want.
If you’re making pozole on your stovetop, next you’ll want to prepare the “verde” part of the recipe by blending the tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, and chilies you’re including to create a lively salsa verde. Then everything is heated until the flavors have combined and the stew is heated.
As essential as the taste of the stew are its side dishes. Carlsbad Cravings shares typical pozole verde toppings include tortilla strips, avocado, cilantro, radish slices, lime and cream, but every family and eater will have their own preference.
