The original white Pozole (pork/chicken and hominy soup) is said to have been created in the Guerrero state, during the 18th century. Through out Mexico, there are regional variations of this dish: red or green depending on the ingredients used (red dried chillies or ground pumpkin seeds)
This is a delicious recipe, well worth the effort to make. And it is also fun as each guest gets to garnish their own plate!
Variations – pork can be eliminated and only chicken may be used or go vegetarian.
