My wife has an awful cold and I wanted to make some chicken noodle soup for her but kick up by putting it in a bread bowl...something I have never made. She said she would rather have the New Mexico Pork Stew (Posole) from the January 2011 (did we go ahead in time?) Cook's Country. Man, do I love her! I'd rather have that too. I "adapted" it for the grills. It was great!

CSRs on, indirect with a beechwood packet while I prepped everything else.

Everything in the pot. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer for an hour.

Meanwhile, bread bowls on at 350 for 40 minutes (should have been 400 for 30 but I didn't use enough lit to start).

Thanks for viewing. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Go Skins!!
 
Holy smokes, those guys from Virginia cook all kinds of things on their kettles. I am also impressed, especially with the bread bowl on the grill.
 
Great looking posole and bread bowl. My wife makes posole all the time in the winter months. Probably my favorite mexican soup.
 
Thanks, Guys!

Did mine have pretty much the same stuff in it as the one she makes?
I'd never heard of it, much less had it, before getting this month's Cook's Country.

Pretty close but she adds pork neck bones to the pot too. Very important ingredient according to her.

Also when served there is shredded cabbage, thinly slice radishes, lime wedges, diced onion, tostadas, and hot sauce usually
Tapatio
 
Would you be kind enough to share the recipe for the bread bowls? Those look amazing! Thanks!!! :tonqe:

Yes. 3Tsp Veg Oil

Here's the entire recipe if you want it.

New Mexican Pork Stew (Posole)
Serves 6 to 8

Don't use store-bought chile powder. Dried ancho chiles make all the difference. Serve posole with sliced radishes and green cabbage, chopped avocado, hot sauce, and lime wedges.
3/4 ounce dried ancho chiles , (about 3 chiles) (see note)
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 pounds boneless, country-style pork ribs
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 (15-ounce) cans white hominy , rinsed and drained well
2 onions , chopped
5 garlic cloves , minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
1 tablespoon lime juice

1. PREPARE CHILES?Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Place chiles on baking sheet and bake until puffed and -fragrant, about 6 minutes. When chiles are cool enough to handle, remove stems and seeds. Combine chiles and 1 cup broth in medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until bubbling, about 2 minutes. Let stand until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.

2. BROWN PORK?Pat pork dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook pork until well browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to plate. Add hominy to now-empty pot and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and hominy begins to darken, 2 to 3 -minutes. Transfer hominy to medium bowl.

3. SIMMER BROTH?Heat remaining oil in now-empty pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Puree onion mixture with softened chile mixture in blender. Combine remaining broth, pureed onion-chile mixture, pork, oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in now-empty pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until meat is tender, 1 to 1½ hours.

4. FINISH STEW?Transfer pork to clean plate. Add hominy to pot and simmer, covered, until tender, about 30 minutes. Skim fat from broth. When meat is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces, discarding fat. Return pork to pot and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Off heat, add lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. (Posole can be refrigerated in airtight container for 3 days.)
