Easy White Posole Ready in 1 Hour (Mexican Pork and Hominy Stew)

White Posole is a simple Mexican hominy stew made for special occasions such as New Year’s, weddings and birthdays.

Unlike Abuela’s version, (not my Abuela actually, but someone else’s Mexican grandmother that might cook this in the traditional hours long method) this recipe cooks up in under an hour and has far less fat. But make no mistake it is full of flavor.

You can substitute chicken or beans for the pork, if you prefer. I like to serve with a variety of toppings on the side and let each person add their favorites.
