• 1 onion, cut into quarters

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

• 2 dried ancho chiles (or sweet chile powder)

Preparation

1. Preparing the broth: In a large saucepan, add the pork (or chicken), quartered onion, garlic, bay leaves, and gluten-free broth. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and flakes easily. Remove the meat and set aside. Strain the broth to remove the onion and bay leaves.
2. Preparing the chiles: If using dried ancho chiles, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes until softened. Then drain them, remove the seeds and stems, then blend them with a little water to make a paste. If you are using chili powder, you can add it directly to the broth.
3. Cooking the pozole: Add the chili paste (or powder), corn, cumin, and oregano to the broth. Return the shredded meat to the soup and simmer for another 30 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serving: Serve the pozole in bowls and offer a variety of toppings like chopped salad, avocado, sliced ​​radishes, chopped onion, cilantro, and lime wedges. Each guest can personalize their dish by adding their favorite toppings.
