What exactly is Pozole? 🇲🇽🥣

Pozole is one of Mexico’s most traditional dishes, made with hominy — large kernels of nixtamalised corn — slowly cooked in a flavourful broth.

Tomorrow at The Nook, we’ll have two versions:

Pozole Blanco de Pollo — with chicken in a traditional white broth.
Pozole Rojo de Puerco — with pork and Mexican chillies.

Both come ready to eat with all the traditional toppings — lettuce, radish, onion, avocado, Mexican oregano and lime — plus two crispy corn tostadas on the side.

Warm, hearty and full of tradition. 🇲🇽❤️
