Super Bowl

With our kids and friends!


We had "Posole" and "Chili Reallnos"
and chips with cheesy dip

I was alone in rooting for the Colts!
Everyone else were happy the Saints won!


We had a 7lb chocolate layer cake!
mmmmmm mmmmm mmm


Anyway, it was a casual, but cozy super bowl this year.

Posole :

1 1/2 lbs pork shoulder
1/2 onion stuck with 2 cloves
2 cloves garlic, peeled
5 peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seed
oregano, one large pinch
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 cups canned white hominy, drained and rinsed
3 to 5 cups pork broth from cooking pork shoulder
1 cup canned chopped green chilies
Salt to taste
2 whole jalapenos, canned or fresh, chopped. (optional)
Cabbage, diced
cilantro, chopped
Lime or Lemon wedges.

Prepare the onion with the 2 cloves, peel the garlic, chop the onion, peel and chop the two garlic cloves, chop the green chilies and jalapenos. Drain and rinse the hominy.

Place the meat in a large saucepan and just cover with lightly salted water. Add the clove studded onion, 2 cloves peeled garlic, peppercorns, cumin seed, and oregano. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises, reduce heat, cover and simmr for 45 minutes. Remove meat and broth, reserving both.

Saute the chopped onion and garlic in oil until translucent. Add the remaining spices, stir for a minute. Cut the reserved pork into 1 inch cubes and add to the pan. Stir in the canned hominy, pork broth (if there is not enough pork broth, add chicken stock), green chilies and jalapenos (optional)

Cook at a simmer, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes until the meat and hominy are tender. If necessary, cook for up to an additional 60 minutes until the chilies and onions are well blended into the broth. Degrease the stew, taste for salt, and serve in soup bowls. Garnish with chopped cabbage, cilantro and squeeze in a wedge of lime. ENJOY!
