Ingredients

  • 3 boneless pork chops, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 15 oz cans hominy, drained
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 14 1/2 oz can beef broth
  • 2 Tbs chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano, crushed
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbs flour
  • fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

  • Heat oil in a deep saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until tender but not brown. Add pork, cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in hominy, tomato sauce, broth, chili powder and oregano. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until pork is tender, stirring occasionally. Whisk together flour and water, stir into simmering stew and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Garnish with cilantro.

Substitution Tip: The corn flavor introduced by the hominy can be heightened by substituting dried masa (corn flour) for the flour.
