Pozole Rojo · Phoenix
Mexican-Sonoran red hominy stew: a long-simmered pork-shoulder broth deepened with dried guajillo, ancho and pasilla chilies, packed with nixtamalised hominy, served with cabbage, radish and lime.
Pozole has been cooked in Mexico since the pre-Columbian era; the Aztecs reserved the original ritual version for ceremonial occasions, replaced after Spanish colonisation with pork shoulder. The dish split into three regional schools: pozole rojo (red, from Jalisco, the most common in Phoenix), pozole verde (green, from Guerrero) and pozole blanco (white). Phoenix's strong Sonoran and Jalisco populations made pozole rojo the canonical Sunday-family dish. It is the Mexican-American hangover cure and the centrepiece of Mexican Independence Day and Christmas Eve dinner.
