This recipe for slow cooker posole rojo (which means red in Spanish) will be your new favorite dinner. Posole is traditionally a thick stew of pork, hominy (coarsely ground corn), chili peppers and seasonings.

Rumor has is posole is a great hangover remedy because it’s thick and hearty and ready to absorb stubborn liquor still hovering in your bloodstream. We don’t know this from personal experience but we’re willing to experiment!

Posole is traditionally served around Christmas time but it’s so good that we like it year-round! It’s especially delicious on day two so try doubling the recipe for meals all week.
