Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks, trimming excess fat, and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear pork pieces on all sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, stirring and reducing heat to medium until onions soften, 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, seed and stem guajillo chilies. Toast them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 1-2 minutes, then soak them in hot water for 10 minutes. Blend with 1 cup of broth until smooth.

  5. 5

    Return heat to a simmer, add the chili puree, remaining broth, cumin, and oregano to the pot. Simmer, covered, for 60 minutes over low heat until pork is tender.

  6. 6

    Skim off any excess fat. Stir in the hominy, adjust salt to taste, and cook uncovered for another 20 minutes to meld flavors.

  7. 7

    Just before serving, thinly slice radishes and shred cabbage. Cut limes into wedges.

  8. 8

    Serve pozole hot, garnished with radish slices, cabbage, and fresh lime.
