Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 large dried New Mexican red chiles
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
3 garlic cloves -- minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
2 pounds boneless pork loin -- cubed
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 large onion -- sliced
40 ounces canned hominy

Seed the chiles, reserving the seeds. In a dry, hot frying pan, heat the chiles until warmed through and fragrant. Do not burn or brown them. Place the chiles and seeds in a medium pot with 1 quart broth or water, garlic, lime juice, cumin and oregano. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a plastic bag, toss the cubed pork with the flour to coat. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and brown the meat on all sides. Add the onions and cook about 5 minutes or until the onions are soft.

Pour the unused stock into a 4-quart slow cooker.

Strain the chile-stock mixture through a mesh sieve into the slow cooker insert, mashing down with a wooden spoon to press out the pulp and juice. Discard the seeds and remaining solids.

Cook on low for 8 hours.
