Ingredients:	2 tsp olive oil 1 c chopped onion 2 tsp ground cumin 1-1/2 tsp ground coriander 1/4 tsp salt 1 chipotle chili canned in adobo, drained & chopped 2-1/2 c plum tomato, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 15.5-oz cans golden hominy, drained & rinsed (I prefer white hominy) 2 16-oz cans chicken broth 1 lb pork tenderloin (I usually use pork chops or a Boston Butt roast, which are cheaper) 6 c spinach, chopped (Optional - I leave this out) 1 c cilantro 1-1/2 c romaine lettuce, thinly sliced 3/4 c radishes, thinly sliced 3/4 c Monterey Jack cheese (3 ounces), shredded 1/4 c green onions, sliced
Preparation:	1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and next 4 ingredients (onion through chipotle); cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato, garlic, hominy and broth. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. 2. Trim fat from the pork. Cut pork into bite-size pieces. Add pork, spinach, and cilantro to pan. Cook for 7 minutes or until pork is done. Ladle 1-1/2 c soup into each of 6 bowls; top each with 1/4 c lettuce, 2 Tbsp radishes, 2 Tbsp cheese, and 2 tsp green onions.
Notes:	Jack Tavares asked: >Anybody have a posole recipe they like? >I can google with the best of em, I am looking >for personal recommendations. We like this recipe, originally from Cooking Light so YauthenticityMV. It's tasty and very easy... (I have a couple other posole recipes that I clipped from The Oregonian that were quite labor-intensive, so they haven't been tested yet, though they sounded good.) --Gwyn ~~~ Yield: 6 servings Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 315 Calories; 11g Fat (30.1% calories from fat); 24g Protein; 33g Carbohydrate; 7g Dietary Fiber; 57mg Cholesterol; 1081mg Sodium.
