Random Dish: Pozole

Pozole is a celebratory Mexican stew built on the hearty chew of nixtamalized hominy and the rich savor of slow-simmered pork. In the red version most widely recognized outside Mexico, a smooth guajillo–ancho chile adobo tints the broth a deep brick-red and adds gentle heat and dried-fruit complexity without overwhelming the corn. Crisp toppings—shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, chopped onion, and a squeeze of lime—bring brightness and crunch that balance the lush broth, with tostadas adding a toasty counterpoint at the table.
