Posole for Bob: Happy Birthday

Whenever I go to a covered-dish meal, I try to develop a brand-new dish specifically for that occasion. Birthday parties are my favorites. My good friend, Bob Murati, and I have roots in New Mexico and have a mutual love of chilies. We love chilies fixed any way, although I cannot always make a dish as hot as Bob prefers. Because he and I will not be the only ones eating it, I did prepare this for Bob’s 50th birthday. I was also born in 1946; thus it looks like October will be the time for me to make a really hot recipe to share with Bob and other New Mexico-connected friends.

Recipe:

In the morning, place the following ingredients into a Crock-Pot on LOW all day:

4 cups posole (if unable to find posole, use hominy)

1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

1 16-oz. can no-salt stewed tomatoes

1 6-oz. can no-salt tomato paste

4 small cans no-salt V-8 vegetable juice

2 cans whole, mild green chilies, rinsed to remove salt, chopped into half-inch pieces

water, enough to fill Crock-Pot 2 inches from the top

Spices.

4 T. ground cumin

1 t. chili powder

2 T. garlic powder

1 t. red pepper

1/2 t. black pepper
