Preparation

Step 1

Place meat and pork rinds and pork shanks in a large kettle and add about 5 quarts of water or enough to cover meat. Add approx 1 Tbs salt and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 1-1/2 hours. Remove excess grease and set aside. Reserve liquid. Wash the Posole carefully to remove lime from kernels. Put in large kettle and cover with water. Boil until Posole has popped. Mix meat, Posole, rind and shanks. Add oregano, garlic, onion, and chili pods. Let simmer for about 1/2 hour. Posole may be served as a main dish with hard rolls or crackers. Additional red chili sauce may be added at serving time for more spice.
