Blue Corn Posole
1 lb blue corn hominy (regular hominy works, too)
8- 10 C vegetable or chicken broth
2 C chopped onions
1 clove garlic
4 oz chopped green chile
salt, to taste
2 T red chili powder
1/2 t oregano
1/4 t coriander
>1/4 t cumin
1 lb pork loin or sholder meat (optional)
1 C chopped tomatoes

Cover hominy with broth (4 - 5 C?) in large pot and simmer for 2 - 3 hours, until hominy softens and pops open. Add more liquid as needed (you can use water instead of broth, too). Add onions, garlic, chile and spices and simmer for another hour or so. Test softness of hominy kernels.

Boil pork in veggie broth until cooked through. Cut into 1 in squares. Pour leftover veg broth into hominy.

Add pork and tomatoes to hominy and simmer for awhile longer, until tomatoes soften and integrate into stew. Salt to taste. How thick or soupy it should be is totally up to you. Add broth or cook liquid off as needed to get desired effect.

Serve with warm flour tortillas.

This stuff gets better and better as the days go by, so make a lot of extra!
