Posole
Posole is a type of stew that is popular in many parts of the world, including Mexico, Central America, and the southwestern United States. The dish is typically made with pork, hominy (a type of corn), and chili peppers, and it can be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped onions.
Posole has a long and rich history, dating back to the Aztec and Maya civilizations. In fact, the word “posole” comes from the Nahuatl word “pozolli,” which means “foamy.” The Aztecs and Maya would make a posole-like dish by boiling corn in water until it became soft and mushy. They would then add chili peppers, herbs, and other ingredients to create a tasty stew.
During the colonial era, posole was adopted by the Spanish and quickly became a popular dish in Spain and its colonies. The Spanish would typically add pork and other meats to the stew, as well as different types of beans and vegetables. Posole was also a popular dish among the early settlers of the American Southwest, who would often make it with wild game, such as deer and rabbit
