Preparation
STEP 1

In an Instant pot add pork, water, bay leaves, onion, garlic, peeled tomatillos, and jalapeno. Set on high pressure for 90 minutes and allow it to do a natural release (this will take about 20-30 minutes). When pressure has released, remove the pork and move it to a separate bowl and shred. Also remove and discard bay leaves.

STEP 2

Smash the tomatillos and onions to incorporate them into the broth, then add the shredded pork back in.

STEP 3

Add chicken broth, cumin, salt, chili powder, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add hominy and return to a boil, cooking for 10 minutes.

STEP 4

Serve with cabbage, radishes and limes.

Options

This recipe can also be made on the stove in a large pot or Dutch oven simmered for about 2.5 hours or until pork is tender and easily shredded.

To speed up the cook time cut the pork into chunks (about 4-6 pieces) before beginning recipe.
