ingredients
5 pounds boneless country style pork ribs, trimmed
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cans (14 ounce size) white or yellow hominy, rinsed
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
directions
Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until. Brown the pork in batches, adding more oil as needed per batch. Add the browned pork to the crock pot.
Add remaining oil to the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onions and chili powder. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and stir for 10-15 seconds. Add the undrained tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well and then bring to a simmer. Add the tomato mixture to the crock pot.
Add the chicken broth, hominy, and fresh oregano to the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender.
When ready to serve, transfer the meat to a bowl to cool. Let the liquid in the crock pot settle and skim the fat off the surface. Shred the pork and add it back to the crock pot. Stir to combine with the juices.
Ladle the stew in individual serving bowls and add the minced cilantro, a little lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

Excellent dish! I will definitely make this again.
I haven't tried this recipe. It is similar to the Mexican dish, posole. What do you think of adding a dried ancho chile for a little heat?
That sounds great! Feel free to change up the recipe however you wish!

I had never had hominy before. When I opened the cans and tasted some I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like this recipe but I made it anyway since I had everything ready. The hominy tasted completely different after it cooked in the stew and we loved it. I wouldn't hesitate to make this again. If you don't think you'll like hominy you should try this recipe anyway because my mind was changed after tasting the cooked stew.

Delicious stew! The pork ribs turn out so very tender and the rest of the stew is equally delicious. I loved the addition of hominy.
