Pozole (Spanish pronunciation: [po'sole]; from Nahuatl languages: pozolli, meaning cacahuazintle, a variety
of
corn or
maize) is a traditional soup or stew from Mexican cuisine. It is made from hominy with meat (typically
chicken
or pork),
and can be seasoned and garnished with shredded lettuce or cabbage, chilli peppers, onion, garlic, radishes,
avocado,
salsa or limes. Known in Mesoamerica since the pre-Columbian era, today the stew is common across Mexico and
neighboring
countries, and is served both as a day-to-day meal and as a festive dish.
But if you are at all familiar with the Sunday morning hangover that follows any party or casual meetup in
Mexico, you will know that pozole is less food and more magical elixir for hangovers and too much fun.
