Traditional beef posole is a savory, beefy hominy soup. It’s a traditional Mexican type dish that is great for a quick, hearty meal or taking to a group gathering.

Is it beef POSOLE or beef POZOLE?

Yes. It’s actually both, depending on who you ask. From what I understand, it’s “posole” in Texas, Arizona, and California. It’s “pozole” in parts of New Mexico, and Mexico. They are both correct., and both refer to a meaty type soup.

What is hominy?

Hominy is field corn that has been soaked in a solution of lye or lime to loosen the outer hull and soften the kernels. It is then washed to remove the lye or lime, then it can be dried.

Dried hominy can be made into flour for making tortillas, or ground into grits. Once dried, it can be soaked and cooked again for side dishes, posole and more.

How do you eat beef posole?

We serve ours in bowls, with sliced radishes, fresh cilantro, lime and avocado. Squeezing fresh lime juice really helps bring out the flavor, but you can skip it if you are not a lime fan.

You can use a warm corn tortilla for dipping and placing some of the meat and hominy in a small “taco” if you’d like as well.
