Pozole is a soupy and aromatic Mexican stew that comes in three versions – red, white, and green, symbolizing the colors of the Mexican flag. Although there are many variations, the white version known as pozole blanco is usually made with a combination of pork, hominy, garlic, onions, and garnishes such as avocado slices, lime wedges, and diced onions.
The onions, garlic, salt, and water are blended until smooth, and then mixed with the rest of the ingredients. The mixture is covered with water and simmered for a few hours until everything is fully cooked. The stew is served in individual bowls and it's usually garnished with avocado slices, lime wedges, and diced onions.
