This Delicious Stew is Spicy. About 2*, and a lot more so if you don’t deseed the Serrano. It’s a cross between Pozole and Pork White Bean Chili. It can be made with Chicken as well. Cook time is the same.
2 lbs Pork Shoulder cut into 1” chunks.
1/2 lb Mayocoba Beans Presoaked or Precooked (see note below about how to)
1 1/2-2 c chopped Walla Walla Sweet Onion.
6 cloves Garlic chopped.
1 Jalapeño Chopped
1 Serrano pepper Chopped and deseeded.
1 Aneheim pepper roasted and peeled (or 1 small can).
1 1/4-1 1/2 tsp Johnnies Seasoning Salt or Equivelent.
2 tsp Cumin.
1 1/2 tsp Coriander dry herb.
3-6 Tomatillos chopped 1/2” chunks.
1 25 oz can Hominy Drained.
3-4 cups rich Chicken or Pork broth or both, and some of the Bean Broth from the Mayocobas if you just made them. (You’ll end up with more broth than this from all of the veggies, and can add more broth later if you think you need more at that point.).
Costco’s Better than Bullion Chicken To add at the end if needed. Have it on hand. You may want 1 Tbsp but only add at the end if you think you need it.
FOR GARNISH:
Radish.
Avacado.
Cilantro.
Scallion.
Lime.
Sour Cream.
Cherry Tomatoes
FOR THE MAYOCOBA’s:
Either rinse and sort and Soak Overnight (my preference) or pre Cook using the Fast soak method where you bring the beans in water to a boil and let the beans set 10 min as they start to swell.
Drain, rinse and add fresh water with :
1 tsp Salt
1 Tsp onion powder,
1/2 tsp garlic,
2 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp Chili powder.
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning or Oregano
Set the Instant Pot to “Beans” and adjust time to 10 min. When the pot beeps, CR (controlled release) Beans are ready to use. Ladle Beans out of liquid into a bowl and set aside for a few minutes while you assemble the rest in the Pot.
Back to the soup.
Mix the Meat and Spices. Let the spices blend in while you add the Veggies to the bottom of the pot, then add the Beans, Meat, Hominy and Chicken Broth (or Bean Broth). Don’t stir. Put the lid on and set the time for 4 min. When the Time is up and pot beeps, allow 15 min NPR (Natural pressure release).
Taste the broth and add more Johnnies Seasoning Salt or some Costco’s Better than Bullion Chicken if you want it. I add 1 Tbsp of Costco’s Brand. But this depends on if you used chicken broth in the soup. Make sense?
