Ingredients:
- 2 Pounds Meyer Heritage Duroc Pork Shoulder Roast
- 12 Cups Water
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 1/2 Serrano pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
- 2 Cans White hominy
- 2 Tablespoons Masa harina
- 3 Limes (garnish)
- Iceburg lettuce (garnish)
- 1/2 Onion (garnish)
- 1 Tablespoon Oregano (garnish)
- 2 Avocado (garnish)
- 1/4 Cup Fresh cilantro (garnish)
- 3 Radishes (garnish)
- Tortilla chips (garnish)
Instruction:
- Place the in a very large stock pot. Add the water, salt, 1/8 onion, garlic, serrano, and 1/8 teaspoon oregano. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the pork is tender, about 2 ½ hours.
- Transfer the pork to a cookie sheet and set aside to cool. Carefully strain the broth into another large stock pot and place over high heat and bring to a boil. Pull the pot to the side of the burner so that the bubbles push the fat that has collected to the surface to one side of the pot.
- Using a ladle, skim the fat and anything else that floats to the top of the broth. Add the hominy to the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Shred the pork into bite sized pieces and add to the pot with the hominy and remove from the heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with lime juice, lettuce, onion, oregano, avocado, cilantro, and radishes, as desired. Serve with chips and enjoy.
