If you want to add more heat without upping the pepper level, try a couple spoonfuls of adobo sauce from canned chipotles. I do that for my chili.

Meant to share mine. Itโs old school and super easy - uses chili powder instead of dried chilis. Yes, seriously, dried chilis are all the rage now (and I do love adding some dried chili purรฉe to my posole and chili these days), but I grew up with family making all of this stuff with good chili powder.And youโre right on the pork - get some cuts with good connective tissue and bones. Cube it the nest you can. Brown it, then add some chicken stock (again, my messican family always used knorr powdered stuff). Simmer till tender. Set the pot aside. Brown some onions, preferably in pork fat/bacon grease, then some garlic. Add to pot. Add water, and the liquid from your canned hominy till you think you have enough. Add chili powder. Hell if I know how much - just add enough. Add some dried oregano. Check the taste, add some knorr powder as needed. Simmer to let flavors blend. Add hominy, simmer maybe another 30 mins.Itโs generally not that spicy, and itโs really not supposed to be. If you want to add some chili purรฉe, do it before you add chili powder. Oh, and I seed my chilis before I soak and purรฉe.Serve with finely shredded cabbage, limes, fresh diced onions, and dried oregano to sprinkle on there.
May 29, 20232 yr Did everyone make Posole this weekend?ย Wife got Covid from me, so I made her posole de pollo with really basic pantry staples: canned hominy, a couple limes, ย chicken bone broth, chili powder + one dried guajillo + chipotle powder for smoke. ย sauteed chopped onion and 6 cloves of garlic, added S+P, spices, and broth. ย pureed 1/3 of the canned hominy for thickness and added the hominy. Poached the chicken in the soup for 30 mins, ย pulled it out and shredded, returned to the soup to simmer for another 20 mins, added lime last.ย ย

May 30, 20232 yr Didn't bring the old electric smoker to the new place, so I tried a little offset in the Weber.ย Banked some charcoal and got some St. Louis ribs and corn, very basic definitely not Shaggy 1%.ย Made a quick and dirty dry rub [sugar salt blk pepper paprika garlic and onion pwdr]ย and let them go for 4.5 hours.ย Not a lot of char but turned out pretty good, it was knd of difficult keeping the temp consistent.ย Need a new smoker now that I have the space for it.

I've done ribs on a kettle a number of times. I will take a poultry roasting rack and flip it and set the ribs up on their side. That creates more space and distance from the other side of the grill so I can run a minion of lump and wood chunks. It works pretty well when all you've got is a kettle.ย

June 11, 20232 yr Popular Post Tomahawks from last night. ย Smoked for 1.5 hours and finished on the grill. Salt, pepper, coffee, smoked paprika rub ย Got a few degrees past where I wanted, but they were absolutely fantastic.ย ย ย
