Well-known member
you please help with one more? Thanks so much, and I'll be more regular now that my hand is healing well.

I am eating more vegetables and beans lately (high-fiber, good carb) and I ran across a can on hominy the other day. I have only heard of it as in "hominy grits" but this looks like a large-kernel type of thing. Anyway, now I have a can of hominy in the cupboard that is waiting to be used.

Suggestions? TIA!

Green Pozole With Chicken

Recipe By :Gourmet February 2003/Curious
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pozole

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method9 cups water
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 large white onion -- halved lengthwise
and thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves -- chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 lb skinless boneless chicken thighs
1/2 cup hulled (green) pumpkin seeds (not roasted -- 2 1/4 oz)
1 lb tomatillos -- husked
2 fresh jalapeño chiles -- quartered
(including seeds)
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon dried epazote or oregano (preferably -- crumbled
Mexican)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cans white hominy -- (15-oz) rinsed and
drained
Accompaniments:
diced radish
cubed avocado tossed with lime juice
shredded romaine
chopped white onion
lime wedges
dried oregano

Bring 8 cups water, bay leaf, half of onion, half of garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt to a
boil, covered, in a 6-quart heavy pot, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add
chicken and poach at a bare simmer, uncovered, skimming off any foam, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board to cool. Pour broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids, and reserve. When
chicken is cool enough to handle, coarsely shred with your fingers.Make sauce while chicken cools: Cook pumpkin seeds in a dry small skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until puffed but not browned (seeds will pop as they puff), 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely, then finely grind in coffee/spice grinder. Simmer tomatillos and remaining onion in remaining cup water in a 3-quart saucepan, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain vegetables and purée in a blender with jalapeños, 1/4 cup cilantro, epazote, remaining garlic, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add purée (use caution as it will splatter and steam). Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in pumpkin seeds and 1 cup reserved broth and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, hominy, and 3 more cups reserved broth and simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and serve pozole in deep bowls with accompaniments.

Cooks' note: • Chicken can be cooked and shredded 1 day ahead and chilled in 4 cups reserved broth. Measure out 1 cup broth before proceeding.

Curious' Notes:Easy to make, delicious and surprisingly similar to one in the Mexico the Beautiful Cookbook which also uses pork and is more involved. I don't care much for dark meat so I use chicken breasts and cook them in broth. Not Authentic, but good.
