    Very Good
    Sounds just like my mom used to make. I toss in an onion and oregano to the pork neck bones when boiling, also when you are preparing the chiles you could use the stock instead of water and take 1/4 cup of the hominy and blend it with the chiles so that when you add it to the pozole it thickens it. - 10/4/10
