Pozole is a traditional Mexican stew with three iterations: rojo, verde and blanco. Pozole blanco, or “white pozole,” omits chiles but still packs a punch with a garlic-and-onion-filled broth that comes together in minutes. Small, tender pieces of pork and chewy hominy simmer in the fragrant broth to add a welcome meaty, starchy richness before being topped by a balancing mix of crisp, fresh accompaniments: shredded cabbage, thinly sliced radishes and creamy wedges of avocado.
