Name: Pork And Hominy Stew
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 1 h
Total time: 1 h 15 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 lb pork loin, trimmed and diced; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon chili powder; 1 can (15 oz) hominy, drained and rinsed; 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes; 4 cups chicken broth; Salt and pepper, to taste; Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced pork loin and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the pork is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the drained hominy, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and chicken broth. Stir to combine all ingredients. Bring the stew to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed with more salt and pepper. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper at this stage.
Once the stew has thickened and the pork is tender, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the Pork and Hominy Stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
