Step-by-Step Instructions
- Remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo and ancho chiles. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Soak in hot water for 20 minutes.
- Blend the soaked chiles with garlic, onion, and enough soaking water to cover until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids.
- Cut pork shoulder into 2-inch chunks, season with salt and pepper, and sear in a heavy pot with oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
- Pour in the strained chili sauce and 6 cups of water or broth, scraping up browned bits. Add bay leaves and Mexican oregano, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-2.5 hours until pork is tender.
- Rinse canned hominy and add to the pot. Stir gently and simmer for an additional 30 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Remove pork, shred using two forks, return to pot. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot in bowls with sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, diced onion, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro for toppings.
