POSOLE
======

Ingredients:
------------
3-5 lbs     pork roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
5-6 cloves  of garlic, crushed
2           onions, diced
8-10 tblsp  red chili powder (more or less to taste)
5-10 tblsp  dried crushed red chili pods with seeds
            (Be careful with this!  The heat of the chili is released as 
            the soup boils.  Start with the smaller amount and increase 
            to get a spicer soup.)
2 tsp       cumin
2           large cans hominy (white corn)
salt to taste
water

Instructions:
-------------
Saute onions and garlic in a bit of oil until just brown.  Add pork and
cover with water.  Bring to a boil.  Add chili powder, crushed red
chili, cumin, and salt.  Simmer slowly for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.  Drain
hominy and add to soup.  Simmer for another 30 minutes and adjust
seasonings. 

Tastes better the second day, of course. :)

POZOLE
======

Ingredients:
------------
1          chicken, 3-4 lbs, cut into serving pieces
1 lb       pork loin, cut into 2 in. cubes
Chicken stock to cover
2 cans     hominy (or about 3 cups fresh)
2-3        pequ!n peppers (see above)
           or 1 tsp red pepper flakes
2-3        limes, or lemons, cut in wedges
10         radishes, washed and sliced
1          small head of lettuce, shredded
1          Bermuda onion, minced
4-5 tblsp  oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
-------------
In a large pot, place the chicken, pork, and chiles, and cover with
chicken stock.  Simmer for 45 minutes.  If you wish at this point you
may remove the chicken and remove the skin and bones, returning the meat
to the pot, as it is easier to eat this way.  Add the hominy and
continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the meat is done and
tender.  Season to taste. 
      
Serve the soup in large bowls, making certain that each gets pork,
chicken and hominy.  Place the lettuce, limes, oregano, and onion in
serving bowls and allow each guest to garnish their own bowl of soup. 
It's simply wonderful!
