I served the chicken and sauce over Angel Hair pasta but it would be good on its own without the added carbohydrates. I smoked the chicken with Pecan wood but pan frying or oven roasting would be fine… |

A Different Pork PozoleThis is a different take on Pozole that I concocted over the weeked. It is heavy on pork/chorizo with less Hominy than most recipes. I smoked the pork/chorizo with Mesquite wood for added flavor but browned in oil would be fine if you don't have a smoker. I also added celery, carrots and a couple of red potatoes. I used canned… |
