Posole
[poh-SOH-leh]
A thick,
hearty soup usually eaten as a main course. It consists of pork
(sometimes chicken) meat and broth, Hominy, onion, garlic, dried
Chiles
and Cilantro. It's usually served with chopped lettuce, radishes,
onions, cheese and cilantro, which diners can add to the soup as they
please. Posole originated in Jalisco, in the middle of Mexico's Pacific
Coast region, and is traditionally served at Christmastime. |
