Instructions:
In a large deep-sided pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the pork, onions and sauté about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, cinnamon, salt and pepper and cook one minute, stirring to prevent sticking. Add the potatoes, stock, hominy, tomatoes, chili peppers and adobo sauce to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. Add the black beans to the pot and cook uncovered for 10 minutes more. To serve ladle the posole into bowls and top with an assortment of garnishes. Credits: Devon Delaney.
