Delicious facts
– Pozole soup (sometimes called salted) is a famous Mexican soup. Over time, pozole became so widespread that even pozolerias restaurants appeared, specializing in treating this dish.
– There are several varieties of pozole: white, red (with the addition of chili peppers), green (with the addition of crushed pumpkin seeds), meat (with the addition of pork or chicken).
– You can break a raw egg (to taste) before serving in the gilded pot. But in this case, the dish will need to be eaten very quickly, because dishes with a raw egg go bad quickly.
– In order to moderate the pungency of the soup, it is recommended to clear it of seeds, and this should be done with gloves so as not to burn the skin of the hands.
– Since rojo pozole is traditionally cooked very thick, broth can be prepared in advance to achieve any desired consistency of the dish.
– In addition to the soup, you can serve chopped avocados, cabbage, cucumbers.
– Since the gilding takes a long time to cook, it is recommended to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for cooking.
– If you need to save time or if there are no products for hominy, you can use ordinary canned corn.
