By ruhroh

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 15-ounce cans white or golden hominy, drained
• 12 ounces fresh tomatillos, husked, rinsed, coarsely chopped
• 2 7-ounce cans diced mild green chiles, drained
• 4 teaspoons ground cumin
• 4 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus additional for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in heavy, large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery and garlic. Saute until soft, about 7 minutes.
Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to pot; cook until no longer pink on the outside, stirring often, about 3 minutes.
Add broth, hominy, tomatillos, chiles, cumin and chili powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered until meat is tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
Stir in cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls, sprinkle with additional cilantro, and serve.
