Traditional Pozol
Ingredients
1 kilogram of White corn
3 Pig's trotters
2 Pig's cheeks
1 Carrot
1 Chayote
1 cup of Cal (lime) solution
2 Chopped sweet peppers
1 Chopped garlic head
1 Chopped onion
1 Chopped cilantro bunch
1 Oregano branch
1 pinch of Achiote
1 pinch of Salt
Preparation
Step 1 : To prepare this recipe, it is recommended to cook the corn the day before in a pot with enough water until it is nearly dry.
Step 2 : Then, dissolve the lime in water and gradually add it to the corn, avoiding the lime sediment, repeating the process three or four times.
Step 3 : Once the lime is added, let it boil so the corn's outer layer peels off.
Step 4 : Next, wash the corn in a colander or container with holes to eliminate the shell and impurities.
Step 5 : Meanwhile, cook the pig's trotters and cheeks until almost tender; chop the ears and snouts into small pieces.
Step 6 : In a large pot, cook the corn together with the meats, chayote, carrot, peppers, garlic, onion, cilantro, oregano, achiote, and salt to taste.
Step 7 : Let the mixture boil until everything is soft and ready to enjoy.
