The first thing you need to do is make the mole sauce. If you have never made mole before, don’t worry – it’s not as difficult as it sounds. Start by roasting the chili peppers, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, peanuts, plantain, garlic, cloves, and cinnamon in a dry skillet over medium heat. Once everything is roasted and fragrant, transfer to a blender or food processor and add the chicken broth. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Next, fry the onions and garlic in a little bit of oil until softened. Add the pork (or chicken) and fry until browned. Now add the hominy and tomatillos and cook for a few minutes until the tomatillos start to soften. Finally, add the mole sauce and cumin and simmer for 30 minutes or so.
Green mole pozole is typically served with shredded cabbage, radishes, lime wedges, and tortilla chips. However, you can serve it however you like! I hope you enjoy this recipe
