Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pounds pork shoulder cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
8 cups chicken broth
3 cups hominy drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Toppings

1 cup cabbage shredded
1 cup radishes sliced
1/2 cup cilantro chopped
2 whole limes quartered

Instructions

1 In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder cubes and brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
2 Remove the pork from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3 Return the pork to the pot. Add chicken broth, hominy, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
4 Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded.
5 Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
6 Serve hot, garnished with shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
