Hominy corn slow-simmered with pork shoulder, red chile and oregano; finished with cabbage, lime and radish. A Christmas Eve fixture in Northern New Mexico.

Northern New Mexico's version uses dried hominy (chicos) and red chile as the base; the dish anchors Christmas Eve and New Year's tables across Santa Fe households and shows up on every traditional restaurant menu.
