Vanessa this sounds - and looks! - delicious. I am (hopefully) on my way to New Mexico tomorrow for a Christmas getaway. I will save this recipe to try on my return. I love a good posole, thanks for sharing yours.

Have a wonderful holiday and a healthy and happy New Year.

Yes...it is supposed to be cold....and if my friend recovers from her cold, we will be spending Christmas in Santa Fe. I'll send your regards!

I'm looking forward to making your posole. I'll have to pick up some genuine Hatch chiles while I'm there!

Vanessa - New Mexico Posole is one of my favorites - after all, I'm an Albuquerque girl.  My husband (NJ) couldn't tell a huevo from a ranchero until he met me.  Now he makes them for breakfast every Christmas morning.  Karen

How did a Brentwooe, Tenessee rainer learn to cook NM red chile posole? It is one of my favorite dishes all year. I love your recipe and the pictures are are worth a thousand words. You bet posole will be on my menu for New Year's Eve.

Karen- I did not know you were an Alb girl! I was born at UNM  and grew up in ALB and then in Taos! Small world eh? I am a Chile snob and have green chile shipped to me every chile season from Hatch, then I roast it and freeze it for the coming year...there is nothing like NM cooking, nothing!

12/27/2007 09:09 AM by Brentwood TN Real Estate/Homes - Vanessa Stalets REALTOR® (RE/MAX Elite)


Eloise- I am a native New Mexican! Born and raised on chile and tortillas! Tamales, posole, enchiladas, huevos, bisconchitos...you name it! My favorite is just roasted green chile from Hatch, diced and put in the middle of a home made flour totilla. It will cure whatever ails you!! lol Ancient N.M hangover cure too! hehehehehe

Vanessa, I, too, receive a survival kit from NM every year. - it's what makes life tolerable here in the east.  Actually, I love Virginia.  The Blue Ridge are not the Sandia, but they are beautiful.

Karen- When I first moved to Ohio(many yrs ago) I went to a "mexican" rest and asked then if they put green chile in their queso. They said sure! ...It was green bell pepper, can you imagine?!! They had no idea what green chile even was...blew my mind!

12/27/2007 09:30 AM by Brentwood TN Real Estate/Homes - Vanessa Stalets REALTOR® (RE/MAX Elite)


I made a huge batch today...simmered it for hours extra. Hmmmmm

Hubby and I had to try it, make sure it was fit to serve others...*wink*

Tummy is full and happy!

Vanessa -- very cool that you are from NM.  I'm from Colorado and totally LOVE Santa Fe and Taos.  The best food is from there too. . .green chili verde (oh, wow).  I have several New Mex recipes.  My brother and cousin still send "care packages" with salsas and dried chili peppers to us po' folk out East, LOL!
