Instructions

1

Soak chilis for 10 minutes in hot water. Purée with garlic and some soaking water.
2

Heat cannabutter in a large pot. Sear pork at high heat.
3

Remove pork. Sauté chili purée in the same pot for 3 minutes until deep and fragrant.
4

Return pork. Add broth, bay leaves, cumin, and oregano.
5

Bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat for 90 minutes until meat falls apart.
6

Remove meat. Shred (pulled). Return to soup.
7

Stir in hominy corn. Warm for 15 minutes.
8

Serve in deep bowls with cabbage, radishes, lime, and tostadas.

Pro Tips

Use cannabutter when searing—the long braising time fully activates THC in the rich broth.
Hominy corn is not regular corn—nixtamalized, earthy, unique. No substitutes.
For Pozole Verde: Use green tomatillos + serrano chili instead of red chilis.
