Follow The Directions

01

Step

Toast the cumin in a small pot over medium-high heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn (1-2 minutes). Add the pasilla, ancho, and guajillo chile peppers to the pot. Pour enough water to cover the peppers completely. Place the garlic cloves, onion, and tomatoes atop the chiles. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour into a blender; puree until smooth.

02

Step

Put the pork in the bottom of a slow cooker; season generously with salt. Add the bay leaves and pour the pureed chile pepper mixture over the pork.

03

Step

Cook on Low for 8-9 hours or overnight. Skim as much fat from the surface as possible. Remove the pork to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.

04

Step

Combine the shredded pork with sauce, chicken stock, and hominy in a large pot over medium heat; cook until the stock is hot (10-15 minutes). Serve hot.

For an even deeper flavor, lightly char the tomatoes and onion under a broiler before chopping and adding to the chile mixture.
Adjust the amount of salt to your preference. Remember that the chicken stock may already contain salt.
Serve with your favorite toppings: shredded cabbage, chopped white onion, cilantro, lime wedges, avocado, radishes, and tostadas or tortillas.
