Posole Verde

Chef notes

I love posole of all kinds and this is a perfect example of how creative you can get with different flavors. No cilantro? Try basil! No tomatillos? Use more lime juice at the end! Mombacho Café is my go-to spice blend when I want Latin American adobo flavors without the red chile flavor and color. If you use precooked rotisserie chicken, chicken broth, and canned hominy you can whip this up in under 30 minutes!
