Pork and Hominy Stew

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Cook: 6 hours YIELD: 8 servings (about 2-3/4 quarts).
This pork hominy stew, also known as pozole, is a delicious southwestern delicacy. I moved it to the slow cooker so it can simmer away on its own. The rich, brothy soup is delicious, much like a tamale in a bowl. —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 large poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
