Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Season pork with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.

02

Step
8 mins

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and 2 tablespoons water to the pot; cook and stir until water has evaporated and onion is soft and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, serrano peppers, cumin, and coriander; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

03

Step
35 mins

Stir in 2 cups water, chicken broth, and tomatoes. Whisk in cornmeal; bring to a simmer over high heat, stirring often. Add hominy and pork; season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and hominy mixture thickens, about 30 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.

For a richer flavor, consider using pork shoulder instead of pork loin. It will require a longer cooking time, but the result will be even more tender and flavorful.
Adjust the amount of serrano peppers to your desired level of spiciness. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
Garnish generously with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream.
