Chix pozole rojo

I guess I’m on a stew-ish kick, of late. 

Toasted some guajillo chiles, garlic, onions on the griddle, and zapped them, with some roasted ‘maters. The Vitamix made short work of them. 


Dusted some chix parts with Oakridge BBQ Carne Crosta, smoke in the KBQ,  with mesquite. 



Everyone in the pool, with cumin, cinnamon, coriander, cilantro, and some pepper. Hominy, too. 



Plated up. Topped with roasted poblanos. Banged out some corn tortillas, too. Just because. Thanks, @Botch. 


Quite delicious! It’s been a while since I made pozole, so everyone was happy :)

    Your tortillas have beautiful brown spots, which I now dub "tortilla bikini tan lines", in your honor.  
    Stew looks delicious, but lose the chicken and replace with tripe, and you'll have menudo, a vastly superior stew.  Living in Albuquerque for five years, can't be wrong!  (dammit, I need to hit Ogden's "Taco Taco" for breakfast tomorrow, and have some menudo)

    It’s good stuff. I started with this recipe: 
    https://www.finecooking.com/recipe/red-pozole-with-chicken-pozole-rojo-con-pollo

    Seemed like it could do with more flavor,  so I added a couple of things. Somehow, I added a good bit more water than they called for, and my pot filled up. Then added more hominy because it was not looking right. Turned out better than I expected, though.

    I can almost taste this through the screen.  Looks incredible.

    I like it!

    I'd be in for menudo, but MIL lives with us now, and she doesn't do "exotic" meats like beef, pork, lamb, turkey, or parts thereof. So, chicken it is. 

    The tortillas all puffed at least 50%, and most puffed up fully. I found that fiinishing on an open gas flame for 10 seconds is the ticket, for both the spotting and the puffage.

    How long do you leave the tortilla down before the first flip?

    About 10 seconds on the first side, med heat,  or until you just begin to see some steam. Flip, move to the med+ side of the griddle. About 30 secs, flip, another 30 secs. Press the edges lightly, with a folded towel/paper towel, and it should start to puff. Finish on a gas burner,  for a few seconds, and you should end up with a fully puffed tortilla.

    Looks amazing, like all of your dishes, and I’m sure it tastes the same. I may have to give this a go as I’ve only ever made traditional (green) pozole using tomatillos.

    Thanks. 

    I myself have never made green pozole. Saw a number of recipes for it, but didn't know it's the more traditional one. I'll give it a try, some time.

    I am liking this stew kick that you’re on. Nice to enjoy it vicariously. Great looking bowl!
