Instructions
Toast the dried chiles in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and pliable. Soak in hot water for 15 minutes. Blend with 1 cup of the soaking liquid until smooth. Strain through a sieve.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine pork, quartered onion, garlic, chicken broth, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 1 hour, skimming any foam.
Tip: Low and slow is the key to tender pork. Don't rush it by increasing the heat.
Remove pork and shred with two forks. Strain the broth and return to the pot. Add the shredded pork, chile sauce, hominy, and oregano. Simmer 30 minutes.
Serve in deep bowls with shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, a squeeze of lime, dried oregano, and tostadas on the side.
