Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 diced onion, 1 chopped jalapeño, and 1 chopped poblano pepper. Sauté these aromatics for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Next, stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and 6 halved tomatillos into the pot. Continue to sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the tomatillos soften.
- Carefully transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender and add 1 cup of chicken broth and a handful of fresh cilantro. Blend until completely smooth.
- Return the blended sauce to the pot and pour in an additional 5 cups of chicken broth, along with 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 bay leaf, and salt to taste.
- Incorporate your choice of 1.5 pounds of chicken into the pot, reduce the heat, and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it before returning to the pot with 2 cups of rinsed hominy.
- Allow the pozole verde to cook for another 10 minutes, adjusting seasoning as desired.
- Serve hot, garnished with toppings like sliced radishes, avocado, and lime wedges.
