I have had a craving for a pot of Posole lately. I dug up my old recipe, tweaked it a bit, and made a batch. Topped with sour cream and chopped green onions, served with an ice cold beer and some flour tortillas. As Alton Brown would say, that's Good EATS!! 1 1/2 pounds Country Ribs, diced Tablespoon Bacon drippings One onion, diced One bell pepper, diced 4 or more diced garlic cloves One small can (or more) diced green chilies Two or three dried Sweet Guajillo Chilies. Diced, reconstituted in a cup of boiling water, run through the blender until pur�ed Salt and black pepper to taste Two 15 ounce cans Hominy Tablespoon Chili Powder Oregano Cumin One lime One quart beef broth
Melt the bacon drippings, saut� the onion and bell pepper. Add in the dice pork, and brown. Season. Add one cup broth, and cook until that reduces. Squeeze in the juice from the lime. Add in the hominy, and the rest of the broth. Add in the Guajillo chilies and liquid from the blender Check seasoning Cover, and simmer for several hours. The meat should be very tender.
Serve with chopped green onion, sour cream and tortillas

I like to add a little fresh cilantro.

Is there any substitute for the Sweet Guajillo Chilies??
Hard to find around here.

y'all don't have any Mexicans in Idaho? All their stores stock 'em. Any mild, dried chili will work though. What you are looking for is the deep red color, and some flavor. I find they work best to cut them up small, put them in a cup of water in a small sauce pan, and bring to a boil. Boil for a minute or so, then cool to room temp in then pan. The blender turns them into a thin puree.

Thanks, Mannlicher. I'll see if I can find a Mexican food store and check out their chili supplies.

I've never heard of Sweet Guajillo Chilies but after a search they sound wonderful for soups and stews. Just bought a few packs of seeds for my 30ish or so 5 gallon bucket container garden on our raised deck.(screw da deer) Won't be able to critique your recipe till after the fall harvest buddy. You owe me $9.00 for the seeds and I won't charge you for my labor. Denny.
