Hello!!! You know what time it is? It's Pozole and Tamales time baby! These are the most traditional Mexican dishes of the festive season and I don't know about you, but everyone I know associates December with Pozole and Tamales.
It's the ideal hearty soup for chilly weather. But Mexican food lovers enjoy it yearlong and especially as a weekend dish!
My mom used to make the best Pozole ever and it was always the most requested meal by family members for special occasions. She would cook a humongous pot that left us with lots of leftovers.
Speaking of leftovers, this is one of those dishes that tastes better the day after. Kind of like beef chili or meatballs in marinara sauce. So go ahead and make enough for leftovers and enjoy it even more the second day!
What kind of meat should I use?
For this Pozole recipe I will use beef but it can also be made with pork or even chicken.
- Beef: Use chuck roast + bone-in shank center cut with bone.
- Pork: It can be a one of these or a combination of pork shoulder (espaldilla), pork loin or pork shoulder (lomo de puerco)
- Chicken: A combination of chicken breast, thighs & legs.
- Bones: These are essential for flavor and make sure to include some from whatever type of meat you'll be using: neck or backbones are a good option.
Ingredients
This recipe will feed about 4 people while having some leftovers. If you are feeding a crowd, good news: It doubles (or triples) beautifully!
- Meat: 1.5 pounds chuck roast trimmed and cut in 1 1/2″ chunks + 1 to 1.5 pounds bone-in shank center cut (if you're using pork or chicken, use about 2.5 or 3 lbs of a combination of meat with bones)

- 1 whole garlic head
- 12 cups hot water (plus more as needed) about 3 liters

- Garnishes: shredded cabbage diced onion, sliced radishes, fresh cilantro, lime juice & hot sauce.
Make The Sauce: step by step
You can make the sauce before you start cooking the pozole up to a week in advanced. Or start this process while the meat cooks. It's up to you!
- Start by removing the stem and seeds from the chiles. Rinse well to remove any dust.
- Place in a medium pot along with the onion, garlic, spices & water.
- Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes or until the chiles are soft. Remove pot from heat and cool.
- Transfer to a blender or food processor along with 1 cup of the water where the chile cooked on.

Reheating Leftovers
The best way to reheat leftovers is to place in a sauce pot and cook over medium-low heat until heated thru. Cooking it again in real heat (versus microwave) will help develop the flavors even more!
But if you can't use a stove, go ahead and reheat in microwave for a couple of minutes per serving.
FAQs:
Is pozole healthy
Per this page "A half-cup of canned yellow hominy contains 58 calories, 2 grams of fiber, 276 milligrams sodium and about 1 gram each of protein and fat. A half cup of plain cooked hominy grits contains 76 calories, about 1½ grams of protein and 1 gram of fiber, and traces of sodium and fat. Hominy grits often are enriched with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid and iron; vitamin D and calcium are added to some brands."
Even though it may not have a major nutrition factor, it is not unhealthy per se! So go ahead and eat it without any fears 🙂
Is pozole rojo spicy
The chiles used to make the sauce are not spicy but they do have a little bit of a kick. If you don't want it to be spicy, don't add extra hot sauce after it's cooked.
Can you freeze leftovers?
Yes you can! Just store in an airtight plastic container and defrost in the refrigerator.
