For how long would you cook it in a pressure cooker instead?

[@Masienda]

We haven't tested the recipe in a pressure cooker, but there is someone on our team who likes to do the initial cook on stovetop and then nixtamalize overnight. Once it’s nixtamalized but not fully cooked and bloomed, she uses the pressure cooker for that step, which saves a lot of time -- takes about 45 min- 1 hr (do 45 then check for doneness). She does use an old-school pressure cooker, not an InstantPot, as a caveat.

If you want to make it vegetarian, what would you substitute the pork for? Thanks!

Jackfruit

[@Masienda]

Jackfruit could work, or mushrooms! We've also got a vegetarian pozole verde recipe here masienda.com/blogs/learn/vegetarian-pozole-verde

Okay, so.... I have this nixtamal I've made from 3 kinds of corn: heirloom flint I grew and dried on the stalk, Sacsa Kuski, and Cacahuacintle I bought..... and .... I'm in a pozole mood. But I'm wondering about drying the nixtamal first? My thought is that as I cook dry hominy in the broth it will absorb more of the broth, and be more flavorful. Any thoughts on that? (Also I have more nixtimal than I need at the moment, and having it dried to store would be awesome.

[@Masienda]

Your nixtamal experiment with three different corn varieties sounds fascinating! Drying the nixtamal before using it in pozole is an interesting idea. It could indeed intensify the flavor absorption during the cooking process, resulting in a richer broth and a more flavorful hominy. Additionally, drying the excess nixtamal for storage is a practical approach to extend its shelf life. Give it a try, and feel free to share the results-it might add a unique twist to your pozole! ¡Buen provecho!

i'm not going to lie, i take a, uh , shortcut with the corn. i used canned hominy. (i'm sorry)

[@Masienda]

No apologies needed! Canned hominy gets the job done and still delivers that corn flavor. Plus, it’s a nice shortcut when you're short on time. ¡Provecho!

[@PurpIsGold]

Same bro it’s fire either way as long and it’s legit and cooked fully!!

This recipe is hard to follow due to all the extreme closeups of the dish.

Out of red, green, and white pozole, my favorite is green. Haven't tried the black yet - have to save some things for 'another day' :)
