Pork Posole
Originally from the middle of Mexico’s Pacific Coast region in Jalisco, posole is a classic soup typically served at Christmas to celebrate good blessings. But why wait? This rich and hearty version is worthy of any fiesta you’re planning. This posole is a lightly spiced soup that’s full of tender pork, tomatoes, and hominy in a smoky, garlicky broth. No wonder the people on staff love it. Make this soup a day ahead so it has a chance to develop even more flavor. Plus, if you’re serving it at a party, you’ll have more down time.

Add hominy, cilantro, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
