Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the onion and cilantro
- Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Coarsely chop the cilantro. Set aside half for garnish.
2
Start the pozole
In a medium [large] sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the Santa Fe spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the vegetable broth, 1¾ cups [3 cups] water, and half the cilantro and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, making sure the pieces are separated, cover, and cook over high heat until opaque and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, then using a fork, shred the chicken. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the pozole
- Rinse the hominy.
- Set aside half the cabbage for garnish.
- Cut the radishes in half, then cut the halves into thin half-moons for garnish.
- Cut the lime into wedges for garnish.
To the pot with the chicken cooking liquid, stir in the shredded chicken and hominy and cook over medium heat until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in half the cabbage and cook until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the pozole to individual bowls and garnish with the radishes and remaining cilantro and cabbage. Serve with the lime wedges.
