Slow Cooker Pozole Chicken And Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the pork; cook and stir just until meat is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Place the meat in a 4 quart slow cooker. Pour the enchilada sauce over the meat. Top with the hominy, onion, chilies, garlic, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pour in enough water to fill the slow cooker.
• Cover, and cook on High for 6 to 7 hours. Stir in the cilantro and salt. Cook on Low for 30 minutes more.

Steps:

• In a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker, combine the first nine ingredients; add pork. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until pork is tender., Remove pork from slow cooker. Cut pork into bite-sized pieces; return to slow cooker. Serve with lime wedges and cilantro and, if desired, corn tortillas.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown lightly, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to 6-quart slow cooker. Reduce heat to medium and add onions to skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until onions begin to soften. Stir in garlic, minced chile and bouillon powder; continue cooking 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup water and stir well. Remove from heat and pour into slow cooker. Add remaining water, hominy, oregano, bay leaf and lime juice.
• Cover and heat for 4 to 6 hours on LOW or 3 to 4 hours on HIGH. The soup is ready when the chicken is tender and can be easily pulled apart. Shred chicken using two forks to pull apart. Ladle soup into bowls and let guests garnish the soup as desired.

Steps:

• Toast the cumin in a small pot over medium-high heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasilla chile peppers, ancho chile peppers, and guajillo chile peppers to the pot. Pour enough water into the pot to cover the peppers completely. Place the garlic cloves, onion, and tomatoes atop the chiles. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Pour the cooled mixture into a blender; puree until smooth.
• Put the pork in the bottom of a slow cooker; season generously with salt. Add the bay leaves to the slow cooker and pour the pureed chile pepper mixture over the pork.
• Cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours or overnight. Skim as much fat from the surface as possible. Remove the pork to a cutting board or bowl and shred with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.
• Combine the shredded pork with sauce, chicken stock, and hominy in a large pot over medium heat; cook until the stock is hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Sprinkle pork with 1 teaspoon of the cumin, the salt and pepper. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork; cook about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove pork with slotted spoon; place in slow cooker. Repeat with remaining pork. Add broth to skillet; cook 1 minute, scraping to loosen brown particles. Pour into slow cooker.
• Place tomatillos in food processor. Cover; process until smooth. Add to slow cooker. Stir in onions, garlic, green chiles, sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon cumin. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 hours. Stir hominy into slow cooker. Cover; cook 1 hour longer. Garnish individual servings with sour cream, cilantro, jalapeños and radishes.

Steps:

• Cube the pork (you can use pork roast as well) and brown it in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 5 quart sauce pan or pot over medium heat.
• Add onions, garlic and saute until tender.
• Add chicken.
• Add water and broth, stir well.
• Place 1 tub of green chiles in blender and puree. Them add to pan.
• Add second tub to pan.
• Add garlic salt, cumin, Mexican oregano and menudo spice mix. I used all but about 1 tablespoon of the menudo mix. I suggest adding small amounts until it is strong enough. Stir well.
• Add cilantro.
• Lower heat and simmer 3 hours.
• Add hominy and simmer until warm throughout. About 15 minutes.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• I have found the frozen green chiles and menudo mix at Kroger Signature & Wal-Mart grocery stores.
• Actually I used a whole Beer Can Chicken off my smoker that most of the fat had been cooked off. I tossed the skin. That is why I suggested using rotiserie chicken.

Steps:

• Saute the pork in a non-stick skillet until halfway cooked, remove.
• Leave fat in skillet and saute the onion.
• Add the meat, the onion and all the remaining ingredients to the crock pot and cook on low heat for six to eight hours.
• Serving Suggestions: Pozole can be served in large flat bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro with warm corn bread on the side. Avocado slices and fresh lime can be passed, along with hot sauce or salsa.
