This is a delicious and authentic recipe. I used pork butt and 3/4 ancho chilies, 1/4 pasilla negro. The heat was exactly right on. It was succulent and deliciously satisfying! I would suggest adding about 1/4 cup of raisins to the blender with the sauce, it adds a nice fruitiness to the chiles. Thanks Sara!!!




Too Hot

I made this recipe for a friend who used to live in Mexico and was longing for some posole. We carefully followed the directions, and after 3 hours of hard work, we sampled the posole. It was way too hot. My friend said that it was far hotter than any posole she ate in Mexico. I think that there must be an error in the ammount of chiles called for. If we try this again, we will reduce the ammount of chiles. Maybe 2 oz of fresh chiles, or 1/2 an oz of dried chiles. Another possibility is that the New Mexico chiles called for are far milder than the dried red chiles that we used.




Great!

I use the pork picnic shoulder and cook it in the pressure cooker. My hubby loves this and I use it for dinner parties where it gets rave reviews! Very pleased to add this to my frequently made dishes list.




Good Recipe

My hubby liked it better with pork butt roast/pig tails than with the country style ribs! It does have more flavor to it. But you can also use chiles ANCHOS to make this it is still full of flavor but not the heat or the shells of the ground chiles! V

I am Mexican-American and have tasted a lot of posole, but this is my FAVORITE recipe. I usually make this when I can share it with friends and family and I ALWAYS get asked for the recipe. It does take a bit of time but the results are worth it!




this is the original Mexican posole.

I grow up in Mexico and ever since I came to USA I have never tasted posole like this one. I have made it several times and I have been asked "WHATS IN IT?" and they all say that its great!

posole in general doesn't have a whole lot of flavor until you add the garnish. the lime, oregano, onion and avacado make this dish awesome. it tastes just like my best friends mom's. i think this recipe is easy too.




Very Authentic Flavor
