Pozole
Pozole
A traditional Mexican stew, pozole translates directly to hominy in English. Hominy is most commonly used to make grits. In this instance, the hominy is drained and cooked alongside the shredded chicken in a red sauce. Pozole is also cooked in a green sauce, like in this pozole verde recipe. Recipe courtesy of Nestlé
