Ingredients -  
   

2 cans (1 lb. 13 oz. each) Hominy, drained
About 3 quarts Chicken Broth
2 1/2 pound boned Pork Shoulder or Butt (fat trimmed), cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
1 medium Onion, chopped
8 cloves Garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoon ground Dry New Mexico or Chiles, or Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Dry Oregano Leaves
1/2 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Roasted Chilies or 1 can (7 oz.) diced Green Chilies
Salt
Sour Cream and Green Onions (optional)

 
   
Preparation:  
   

In a 5 to 6 quart pan, combine pork, onion, garlic, ground chilies, oregano, pepper and 1 cup broth. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer rapidly on medium heat for 30 minutes. Uncover pan; stir often on medium-high heat until broth evaporates meat is streaked with brown and drippings are richly browned. Add 1 cup broth and stir drippings free. Add hominy, 8 cups broth and roasted chilies.

Bring mixture to a boil, cover and simmer gently until pork is very tender when pierced, about 1 1/2 hours. Add salt, sour cream and green onions to taste. If made ahead, cool, then cover and chill up to 3 days.
