This spicy pork and hominy stew is filling and delicious. I've modified recipe slightly to reduce the fat content and the heat....but it's still very hot!

INGREDIENTS
- 24 ounces boneless pork tenderloin
- 4 garlic cloves ; divided
- 1 large onion ; chopped, divided
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper ; optional
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chile powder ; (California chile powder preferred)
- 28 ounces white hominy
- 1 cup green chile peppers ; chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Prep the ingredients: peel 4 cloves of garlic, keeping two whole and chopping the remaining two; chop onion; drain and rinse the hominy; chop the green chiles (you can use fresh, frozen, or canned).
In a large stockpot, just cover cover the pork tenderloin with water. Add 1/2 of the chopped onion, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, oregano, and salt. Bring to a boil and skim any foam that comes to the top, then reduce heat to simmer and cook, covered, for 45 minutes. Remove pork and reserve the pork broth.
In stockpot, saute the remaining 1/2 onion and 2 chopped garlic cloves in oil until the onions are translucent. Add the chile powder and stir for one minute. Return 3-5 cups of the pork broth to the stockpot, depending on how thick you like it. Finally, add the hominy and green chile peppers. Cook at a simmer for another 45-60 minutes until the pork and hominy are tender.
Degrease the stew by lightly sliding a paper towel or two over the surface of the stew. Then taste for salt and prepare to serve.
Traditional garnishes for posole include:
*Shredded green cabbage
*Sliced radishes
*Chopped fresh cilantro
*Cubed avocado
*Lime wedges
*Corn tortilla chips
