“How To Make Pozole” By: Ernesto C



Around the holidays, many families would get together and have a huge family meal. And most of the time that meal is recurring every year because it brings the family together and the smells have reminiscent memories. If you want to make something new for your family, or trying to make the same dish your loved ones made in the past, this will help! This is a recipe to help you make pozole, the recipe has been in mine for a few generations, and has always brought great memories, and hopefully it will to you too!

Ingredients:
Five pounds of pork shoulder
Eight chiles anchos
A head of garlic
Two tablespoons of salt
One large can of Hominy
Half of an onion
Two gallons of water
A blender and a big pot
For garnish, some lettuce, onions, lemons, and chile powder

Procedures to make it:
  1. With the pot, For the two gallons of water in, then the pork shoulder, and lastly the salt and garlic in and put on the stove on medium heat for about three hours.

  1. Next, with another pot, put the chilies and the onion to boil in enough water where it just covers the chilies for ten minutes. Lastly, when your done cooking, you put everything in the blender and blend them for around two minutes.

  1. After, When the pork is ready (make sure to touch it to make sure its soft), Pour the blended chilies, and the can of hominy inside the same pot the pork was cooking in, and let it boil together for twenty minutes and add more salt when you need it.

  1. Lastly, chop the onion, Lettuce, Lemons, for garnish

This is how you make pozole.

Ernesto, I want to start off by saying great job on your blog entry. What I like most is that you didn't make the procedure so complicating and seems quite easy to do. Pozole is a meal that I enjoy a lot but i,ve never learned how to make it so hopefully with your recipe i can try something different.-Adrian Arteaga Period 1

Great job on this entry! Your entry was really easy to read but was also really informative. I do have to say thought that my opinion is a bit biased because pozole is one of my favorite things to eat during the holidays. In saying this I really identified with your introduction because this is a dish my family enjoys and something I think everyone should try.

Wow thanks for this! I've always loved pozole and my friend's mom makes it all the time. Each time I've had it from a different person, each meal had their own taste so I hope making it this way will taste different as well. Looking forward to trying this in the next time I plan to do some cooking.

Mmmm pozole such an amazing meal to make with friends and family. I loved how you picked this dish because maybe a lot of people don't know what pozole is, very diverse! This " How to" was a great to read and now has me craving pozole.

I can relate to this so much Ernesto!! Pazole is my favorite food and I use almost all the same ingredients as you do except I don't use the head of garlic and I tended to put 3 to 4 tablespoons of salt in the pot. Maybe one day we can get together and make some pazole using 3 to 4 tablespoons instead of two! Well done! -Ikwaak Dhillon P.6

You did a great job writing about the recipe, I know how tricky making pozole can get and how overwhelmed a person might feel. However, your blog was quick and straight to the point without leaving too much information out. Your instructions seem fairly easy to follow, coming from a die hard pozole lover this blog is greatly appreciated!

I absolutely love Pozole and reading how you make it made me want to try a different recipe instead of sticking to mine! Your steps were very well written and you made Pozole sound absolutely delicious (which it is)! Good job!

I really enjoy this dish during the holidays due to my family not used to traditional american dishes we would make this. Though mine is a little different because we make it with chicken and not beef but overall I enjoy both. But reading this would bring back memories of when I would make it with my family.

I love eating Pozole so I automatically had an interest in your piece just based off your title. I found your piece very informative and your steps for making Pozole were very detailed. I love food and I'm always interested in seeing other people's recipes and traditions and based off of this I can tell your family makes some really good Pozole! Great Job Ernesto!

Ernesto, this recipe was very appreciated! My family (my mom especially) are suckers for Mexican recipes and love pozole. I will definitely be giving this one a try. Thank you and I hope to receive more recipes for Mexican food like this.

I absolutely love pozole and have never known how to make it, so this could possibly help me out a lot. Thank you Ernesto for the great recipe!

this was a great recipe, very detailed and well written. I especially like your beginning paragraph where you express to your readers how this recipe connects to you on a deeper level rather than just it being a recipe. -Tiana wheatley
