How to Make Pozole Verde
In a large pot or Dutch oven, gather your chicken thighs, tomatillos, onion, jalapeños, garlic, Mexican oregano, kosher salt, and broth. Bring everything to a boil over high heat for a vibrant start!
Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover partially, and allow it to simmer for 40 minutes. You want the chicken to be fork-tender and infused with flavors.
Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set it aside to be mixed in later—the texture will add a heartiness to the stew!
In a blender, combine the cooked tomatillos, onion, jalapeños, garlic, and 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the cilantro and blend until smooth for that delicious creamy texture!
Return the blended sauce to the pot, add the shredded chicken and hominy, and stir everything together. Let it simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes to meld those flavors beautifully.
Dish out the Pozole Verde hot, garnished with lime wedges, sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, diced onions, and extra cilantro for that fresh touch!
