10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 mediums Red peppers
3 pounds Boneless pork shoulder; well trimmed and cut into 1 1/2\" pcs
1 Jumbo onion (1#); chopped
4 Garlic cloves; minced
3 Jalapeno chiles; seeded and minced
1 cup Loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves and stems; chopped

1½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Dried oregano
¼ teaspoon Ground red pepper; (cayenne)
1 can Hominy; (29 ounces) canned, rinsed and drained

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Line broiling pan (without rack) with foil. Cut each red pepper lengthwise in half; discard stem and seeds. Arrange peppers, cut side down, in broiling pan. Place pan in broiler 5 to 6 inches from source of heat and broil peppers until charred and blistered, about 6 to 8 minutes. Wrap foil around peppers and allow to steam at room temperature 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Turn oven control to 325F.

2. Remove peppers from foil; peel off skin and discard. Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces.

3. In 5-quart Dutch oven, combine roasted peppers and remaining ingredients except hominy and garnishes; stir in 1 cup water, heat to boiling over high heat. Cover Dutch oven and bake 1½ hours or until pork is very tender.

4. Remove Dutch oven from oven; skim and discard fat. Stir in hominy; cover and bake 15 minutes longer or until heated through. Garnish with lime wedges, radishes, and chopped cilantro.
