Instructions

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Serve in deep bowls with shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, a squeeze of lime, dried oregano, and tostadas on the side.
