I LOVE this recipe. Before I found this recipe, I thought pozole was an all-day affair, resulting in a soup that was rich and delicious, but full of fat. I do pare even this recipe down a bit--starting with skinless boneless chicken breasts (obviating the skimming of fat mentioned in the recipe). And because I am fond of a bit of heat but not too much--I go easy on the jalapenos. I have even added a sweet red pepper on occasion which actually resulted in quite pretty red flecks in the soup.... Read more

Sounds lovely! What do you do for the hominy? The first Pozole recipe I ever read was in one of Dianne Kennedy's cookbooks, and it called for half a hog's head. That recipe truly scared me away, though I have prepared a tamer version.

I used canned hominy which turned out to be just fine (I hardly ever use canned stuff so I was dubious). I know about those scary recipes--I'm never cooking anything which requires me to bring home an animal's head. I will however eat (or at least try) all sorts of things...

Oh I so agree! It's worth it to pay someone else to prepare those scary (nasty) parts, but I'm game to try most things one they have been prepared. Oh, and I also have used canned hominy, and found it to be just fine. The lime-treated corn, which is the alternative, never cooked well enough for me.

I followed this recipe pretty closely and was very happy with the results. I did roast my tomatillos and poblanos before adding them to the blender (personal preference). All I had were boneless skinless chicken breast and that worked great though you may not need the full amount depending on how hearty you want your stew.
