To introduce yourself as Chef Juan made me rewind the vid to see if it wasn't something I overheard. . . Then I laughed and smiled once confirmed. Great content and recipe.
I completely missed it! Usually, when the beginning starts, I usually say his intro at the same time until the "wiiiith" part. It wasn't until your comment had me going back. That was priceless!
I'm from New Mexico where posole is king. This is a solid recipe, a lot more sophisticated than the average. Most people here use only pork shoulder cubes but the pig's feet would make my mom happy
Fellow New Mexican. For me, the best part of posole is how easy it is to make a basic version competently. Pork stew meat and a frozen chile blend with all the aromatics already present makes it so the only actual work you have to do is to cut the limes and onions for the table.
Nothing beats New Mexico cuisine! The flavors are original. Best flavor yet comes from Native American kitchens. Simple and pure. No nonsense. No BS additives. And no self respecting New Mexican puts a “z” in posole🤣
Fellow New Mexican here! He definitely did this dish justice, not over complicating it but keeping the authenticity! And his red chile came out so rich and vibrant! When I saw he used pig's feet, I started clapping!

Sister asked me to make pozole for her for when she comes over today and was wishing you had a pozole recipe yesterday looks like wishes do come true, thanks chef!
Yesterday morning the video randomly popped up in my feed ... which prompted a run to the grocery store and the first 6 hours of cooking yesterday afternoon ... another couple of hours this morning, and had it for lunch. AWESOME!
Magnificent! We toast the de-seeded chilies lightly-watch out not to burn them-before softening and blending them, and we don’t bother straining them. Really like the tip of toasting the garlic! Thank you so much for the recipe! Thank you Chef John, once again! Cheers! Steve K.
Cut a head of 2 of garlic in half and cook in the pozole. Remove before serving to cool, then let people squeeze in a few bulbs of garlic into their bowls if they're garlic lovers.
Growing up it was either menudo or pozole every Sunday either at our house or someone else's. Like menudo, there was always hominy in the pozole too so I'm glad to see this. Topped with tortilla chips, onions, cilantro, lemon and avocado. I sure miss how my parents enjoyed it and gnawed on the pigs feet! Gracias Chef Juan!
I must live on the dark side of the moon. I've never even heard of this and each successive thing you added just made it look better. But at the end with those fix'ns my heart was resolved, this looks like one of the best things i've ever seen. it must be delicious.
Excellent recipe. My old Mexican neighbours used to make pozole and invite me over... they used pork neck bones mostly, and would just serve one up in the bowl for you to shred the meat off yourself. Very rustic and delicious. Always served with tortillas too, which is how I like it. Make a little taco, dip it in the broth. Fantastic. I like the green version as well.
I had neighbor friends like that too when I was young and treasure those memories. When Mrs. made tamales for the church, my job was to add the black olive to the masa. 🤗
CHEF JUAN! I’ve tried to make this soup a dozen times and it’s always underwhelming. I can’t wait to try your recipe! You always knock it out of the park! ^_^
This is a family favorite and a staple in our house. Definitely have it at New Year, but I fix it about once a month. I just had 6 quarts of it in the fridge until the boys and Hubs inhaled it. We prefer the green version, which requires tomatillos, but I do the red now and then. Slow cooker all day and everyone has nearly lost their minds smelling it by the time it's finished. :-)
If you and the hubs are looking to adopt I'm currently available. I clean up after myself, will do dishes without being asked, mow the yard and require no maintenance.
This is Pozole! Not like that weird, cumin-laced, bean soup that Rachael Ray tried to pass off as pozole on her show. Your broth looks so rich a beautiful. I am definitely going to make this.
When I saw the thumbnail for this, I thought, "Dios lo guarde, Chef John, cuz you're gonna have a ton of angry Mexican moms coming for you." But he pulled it off.
Rachel Ray is a hack. And living in same township area as her and having done and know others that have done work for her. She's really not a very nice person. Ego thru the roof.
Chef 👩🏽🍳 John, I have made more of your dishes than all other chefs or cooks on here combine. You rarely if ever disappoint. I simply love hearing your voice as you instruct. Love ya l❤️
Great recipe! I do make posole for the holidays . In New Mexico we can purchase posole frozen uncooked. That’s how I know how to do it. I use chicken breast for my meat. I don’t like pork meat. And float red Chile pods on top as it cooks. I make a pot of red Chile on the side for those who like it. If there are any leftovers of the chile I use it in the morning for eggs. After I make fresh tortillas. Thank you for sharing.
Do you mean you use frozen hominy? I don't understand "posole frozen uncooked". And what a sacrifice to use chicken instead of pork. Pork cooked in red chile is so delicious! (Chicken is better with green.)
We always use spare ribs for the stock and it's always delicious!Served with cabbage and some tostadas it simply can't be beat!Thank you for finally making pozole!
"By the way if you don't want to eat something called feet ... just do what the French do and call them trotters" 🤣😂 This stew really is such a comforting dish in winter. Absolutely delicious. Mexican recipes are amazing. I made this last night and it's now one of my favorite stews. I love Mexican oregano too. So flavoursome 🥕🧅🍲
I just made a chicken verda version of this as requested by my Biblestudy group and having to make enough to send home with everyone. So two bbq chickens and a large can of homie. And always make sure you get the table cream from the Mexican cheese cooler at your supermarket. Which I had to buy 6 so I could send some home with everyone. And this was a cheat day for me and my bride.
I haven't even watched this yet and I'm SO excited! This is one of my most favorite dishes and I've always wanted to make this at home. THANK YOU for posting this Chef John! I know I'll be making pozole this weekend!!
Chef Juan. I learned to make this the way my grandmother made it. Usually online recipes butcher it. I approve of this recipe and I am thrilled that you made it. This is solid and something I know my abuelita would have approved. As a descendent of Yucatan, I would love to see you make salbutes and panuchos. Thank you for this vid!
I love this stuff! First time I "posole" was at a friend's house, his mom was from Mexico and she made it with tripe (menudo) - it was their Sunday breakfast. Her's was clear broth, it didn't have any chilis in it but she did serve it with all the sides. I make it like yours. Thanks Cocinero Juan!!
Super colours! Looks tasty. I have never bothered soaking dried peppers. It is so much simpler to just put the dried peppers into a spice grinder or blender to make a powder. Then add it to the pot, or it could be combined with the cooked garlic and some liquid in a blender.
Chef Juan LOL! I grew up with Mexican friends, eating the best food in their homie homes. No habla Espanol, but I DO speak Mexican food! (toast those chilies a bit next time) The stick blender is a game changer 😋 Muchas Gracias Senior!
My neighbors and I did La Pasadas every night in our neighborhood from Dec16-26th. Each of us hosted a night at our house. Each house then made a dinner afterwards. Everyone made Pezole including me. Some made red some made white. Both deliciouse and filling and it was cold out so it warmed us from the inside out. Yummy. No one fixed it like Rachel Ray though who put Fritos on hers. WHAT??
Posole has become my favorite Mexican dish. I have my two favorite recipes, a Posole Classico and a Posole Rojo, though as a true folk dish, there are probably more recipes than you can count. My favorite way of cooking the pork shoulder is to slow roast a large Boston butt (8 to 10 lbs), with half onions and a cumin and smoked paprika rub, at 175° for six hours or so. After deboning, defatting, and shredding, I can freeze one pound bags of it for future use. The shredded pork also makes a muy delicioso taco meat. richard -- millihelen (mhel.): The amount of beauty required to launch one ship.
Omg, I love pozole. I used to live in a highrise that had a Mexican restaurant on the first floor, and they had tasty pozole. Until, one day, I came in, and the menu said "vegetarian pozole". I shed a single manly tear, and never went there again, and moved shortly thereafter.
I was so excited to find pasole at a restaurant a few years ago. It was also vegetarian and tasted like hot water with a dash of chili powder 😢 I now make my own pork pasole at home regularly 🥰
@@maydaygarden yeah, it tasted like they took canned vegetable soup and added some hominy. Apparently they had a new chef who wanted to run a "healthier" menu, so he took off a perfectly decent bowl of pozole and replaced it with that abomination.
I’ve never heard of Red Pozole but, it looks so delicious! I’m definitely going to give it a try! I could listen to you all day long... Not only are you an incredible Chef you’re so darn funny! You’re definitely the King or fun puns! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We have green, white and red pozole here in Mexico, resembling the Mexican flag. The difference between each of them is the kind of chilli used to make it. White pozole doesn't use any kind of chilli but when you serve it you can add chilli flakes from "chile piquín" or "chile de arbol", red pozole uses guajillo, ancho, or almost any kind of dried pepper, and green pozole uses fresh serrano peppers and green tomatoes (NOT unripe tomatoes but a kind of tomato that's green in color). Also, instead of pork you can also use chicken, turkey, deer (not as common), or even shrimp and other seafood in the coastal areas of Mexico. You can find plenty of recipes out there for pozole, and each are really delicious.
Just made this yesterday (minus the hominy, because doing low carb), and holy YUM! Bonus... I used the skimmed fat to fry my eggs this morning. I would almost make this again just to save that chili oil for my eggs.
I’ve noticed in a lot of mexican cooking the base is usually ancho / guajillo pepper plus garlic and mexican oregano ( which is moré citrusy while Mediterranean “Italian” oregano is minty. But I’ve used the same pepper base to make pozole , beef birria , and award winning chili
Hey! I emailed you on September 20th, 2011 asking you to do this recipe! Glad you got around to it! Your recipe looks delish. I am from New Mexico and although our household recipe differs, yours looks soooo good. Going to give it a shot for Super Bowl(of pasole) Sunday.
We bought a 1/4 cow a while back, and we've used most of it, but we have tons of soup bones with little bits of meat. This looks like the perfect recipe to try, using the beef bones instead of pork. Wish me luck!
Oh my gosh this made me so happy to see! This is so wonderful and I'm so glad you did this recipe, been watching for a long time and have always loved your videos ❤️
In south central Mexico, pozole and the fixings are served with tostadas and crema. It can also be made with chicken or beef, but pork is definitely more common. Yum!
Thank you for this video. My family makes menudo every year at our grandparents house around this time for the weather. But I've been wanting to make my own for so long. I can't wait to make this. But with more hominy. 😋
Be mindful getting Mexican oregano from a carniceria or some other ethnic source. I spent some time on a breadboard separating the stems from the leaf after jamming one in between my teeth. The pain was exquisite, I assure you.
Omg pozole is a Mexican staple during the holidays. My momma makes it for thanksgiving Christmas and New Years. Y es el mejor pozole del mundo. But I hate to say it, it’s not made like this. But this is closer than the slop Rachel Ray made on her show.
I'm from So Cal, Santa Monica to be exact now living in Laconia NH. Posole is my go to in winter. The hit of lime @ the end of preparation brightens the dish. Having family in N.C AND S.C. w/ large Hispanic population I always bring back Mexican Oregano it's very floral and Esposito for that herbal hint @ the end.Nice job 👨🍳
@@catholicfaithofmine2664 Believe it or not 42 years ago myself and family moved from Coral Spings FLA. for a job opportunity and fell in love with the Lakes region. All be its a balmy -2 deg. today😬
I tried it in my instant pot once and I over cooked the hominy. It was too soft (lost the nice chew). I now just make on my stove in Dutch oven. Any tips for cooking length in ur recipe?
@@DanielleM-yr4di I made that mistake too. Now I add the hominy (canned) after everything is cooked then let it warm up in the hot liquid for 5-10 minutes.
Grey recipe I'll definitely try. But you might also mention that nixtmalizing your own corn is a fun and beautiful process that's fun to try. You can get some great red, green or blue heirloom field corn and make some STUNNING hominy that makes the can hominy tastes like plastic by comparison!!
@@EstrafaDC We're talking about two different products. Modern hominy made from food-grade lye but lacks the mineral contribution from the wood ash. Industrial food-grade lye is sodium hydroxide, and the hominy prepared is high in sodium. Its flavor has the bite of soda, and it lacks the rich corn chip fragrance of corn steeped in slacked lime. Either way, the process is laborious and has the potential to burn skin. Not my idea of fun.
@@maydaygarden You can get foodgrade Cal. Mexican mamas have been doing it for centuries. It's called "cal" in Spanish. Do some research. And I've done this process. Multiple times.
Oh, chef Juan, that's clever. My personal favorite is white pozole because my family is from Southern Mexico, there's also a green version. Either way, pozole is one of the most comforting dishes in all Mexican cuisine. About the oregano, it's better if you don't cook it, add it at the end as a garnish like the radishes and onions, in a small quantity of course.
I've never been more thown off than being greeted by Chef Juan
Hahaha same 😅

The fat you skim off at the end can be used to crisp up corn tortillas for tacos!! It makes them sooo gooood if you use a hot cast-iron skillet.

¡Chef Juan es estupendo!
Si!
what a legit recipe, you nailed this one chef Juan!
i was watching it with my mom and she recomends blending an onion to mix with the suop
Yes! My Abuela added half a white onion, cut root to tip so it doesn't fall apart and discards it when done.
yep, I cut onions in half to simmer with the pork or chicken, then blend them in with the chili mixture before adding to the pozole.
I brown the pork butt first before adding as well

Pozole is kind of mild. As with a lot of mexican food, it's the garnishes that make it something special.
I liked the recipe! I'm Mexican and we don't put a lot of garlic on it and the consistency is more soupy and not thick. Everything else is excellent

Chef Juan with a good pozole recipe! I just had tons of it from my trip to michoacan this past December! Salud brother!
And as always… enjoy 😊 thank you Chef, looks delish!
Great recipe,I will make it again soon! I like the way you inject some humor also.
That looks incredible. Had never heard of MEXICAN OREGANO before.... now I will need to hunt for it.
Be mindful getting Mexican oregano from a carniceria or some other ethnic source. I spent some time on a breadboard separating the stems from the leaf after jamming one in between my teeth. The pain was exquisite, I assure you.
@@maydaygarden oh wow! Thanks for that info. I will be sure to look closely at it.
It looks a bit strange, but in a good way, by far the closest recipe and cooking to the many versions of pozole. Very nice!
As a Mexican, I approve this recipe 👌🏽
Incredible recipe!!! Yummy!!! Tasty like grandma's!!! Thanks for the good vibes!!😋😋👍
OML, Never knew 😱I WANT, I WANT, I WANT ! Thank You for educated me to this. I want !
Chef John, could you please consider showing us your take on Pastitsio?
Omg pozole is a Mexican staple during the holidays. My momma makes it for thanksgiving Christmas and New Years. Y es el mejor pozole del mundo. But I hate to say it, it’s not made like this. But this is closer than the slop Rachel Ray made on her show.
Love this soup, make it all the time.
I'm a fan of the green pozole, but this looks amazing.
I’m making this version for sure…..
It looks fantastic!
U did as always did a great job on pozole.. An all other videos as well
Chef Juan, I love your video! So informative and funny!
Omg.. I'm super hungry all of a sudden.!! Looks delish ..
I'm from So Cal, Santa Monica to be exact now living in Laconia NH. Posole is my go to in winter. The hit of lime @ the end of preparation brightens the dish. Having family in N.C AND S.C. w/ large Hispanic population I always bring back Mexican Oregano it's very floral and Esposito for that herbal hint @ the end.Nice job 👨🍳
I'm from Mass and love that part of NH.
@@catholicfaithofmine2664 Believe it or not 42 years ago myself and family moved from Coral Spings FLA. for a job opportunity and fell in love with the Lakes region. All be its a balmy -2 deg. today😬
I usually add 10 or so Chile de Arbol to the chili mix. Brings the heat level up a few notches. No need to add a shake of cayenne!
I noticed there was no cayenne in this recipe. Chile de Arbol in the house mos def.
Watching this made me hungry and happy 😋
Looks so delicious!!! Try using lettuce instead of cilantro and it will get extremely delicious😋
Love pozole! I cheat and make it in my instant pot. It's ready within an hour.
I tried it in my instant pot once and I over cooked the hominy. It was too soft (lost the nice chew). I now just make on my stove in Dutch oven. Any tips for cooking length in ur recipe?
@@DanielleM-yr4di I made that mistake too. Now I add the hominy (canned) after everything is cooked then let it warm up in the hot liquid for 5-10 minutes.
Grey recipe I'll definitely try. But you might also mention that nixtmalizing your own corn is a fun and beautiful process that's fun to try. You can get some great red, green or blue heirloom field corn and make some STUNNING hominy that makes the can hominy tastes like plastic by comparison!!
Where, exactly, can you find the lye necessary for a DIY nixtamalizing process? Not Amazon that's for sure.
@@maydaygarden actually that's EXACTLY where you can find it.
@@EstrafaDC We're talking about two different products. Modern hominy made from food-grade lye but lacks the mineral contribution from the wood ash. Industrial food-grade lye is sodium hydroxide, and the hominy prepared is high in sodium. Its flavor has the bite of soda, and it lacks the rich corn chip fragrance of corn steeped in slacked lime. Either way, the process is laborious and has the potential to burn skin. Not my idea of fun.
@@maydaygarden You can get foodgrade Cal. Mexican mamas have been doing it for centuries. It's called "cal" in Spanish. Do some research. And I've done this process. Multiple times.
As a Mexican, I was worried at first but I think you did great. My mom would definitely try your pozole.
I agree! Well done and not too "anglified" 😁
In Spanish, the "Z" is pronounced with an "S" sound, so it's "Poe-SO-lay".
You may also pronunce Z in spanish like TH. Like the th on "thin" or "think" 🤣 but well... thats in Spain, not Mexico.
no, its not. In fact they make emphasis on that in the schools.
THIS IS TRUE BUT IT'S PRONOUNCED "POH-SO-LEH", POSOLAY SOUNDS VERY STRANGE
Oh, chef Juan, that's clever. My personal favorite is white pozole because my family is from Southern Mexico, there's also a green version. Either way, pozole is one of the most comforting dishes in all Mexican cuisine. About the oregano, it's better if you don't cook it, add it at the end as a garnish like the radishes and onions, in a small quantity of course.
Fresh oregano?
@@maydaygarden my mistake, dried oregano, but uncooked
@@tenshiangelina Thanks 👍
