Easy
  • In a pot over high heat, bring hominy to a boil. Add garlic, onion, salt, lean pork meat, and pig’s feet. Cook for about 1 hour until meat is tender and hominy pops.
  • For the sauce: Char chiles with a tablespoon of lard until the aroma is released. Rehydrate chiles in hot water for 15 minutes until softened. Transfer chiles to a blender, pour a bit of soaked chiles water into the blender, and blend until smooth.
  • In a pot, heat remaining lard over medium heat and fry sauce for 5 minutes. Pour half of the sauce into the hominy pot. Bring to a boil and cook Jalisco-style pozole over low heat for 20 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Serve Jalisco-style pozole with tostadas and remaining sauce. Garnish with lettuce, onion, lime, and cream.
