Pozole

Source: https://www.mylatinatable.com

Historically, Pozole is believed to be a consommé of sorts used in pre-colonial times as part of ritual sacrifices. Today, it serves a better purpose, and that is to bring comforting and satisfying warmth to hungry bellies.

The soup is made from hominy, which are corn kernels soaked in an alkali blend of either lime (no, not the citrus fruit), or lye. The mixture is slow-cooked in a deep pot overnight, together with an aromatic blend of herbs and spices, usually with either chicken, pork or vegetables, depending on the maker’s choice.

No two Pozoles are alike, because you can tailor the hearty dish to suit your palate. Delicious as it already is, you may opt to add a little more zing to your Pozole by picking from a wide array of add-ons and condiments such as lettuce, radish, onion, lime and chili.
