<p>I've been begging my friend <a href="http://www.tasteforthesenses.com/photos.html">Arturo</a> to teach me how to make pozole for months now. The problem is that it is sort of like asking someone to make you "taco night". Pozole is a big production, not in the making of it, but in all of the wonderful garnishes you can add to it. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozole">Pozole</a> is a traditional soup or stew of Mexico, from pre-Columbian days. The name is derived from the Nahuatl "potzolli" and the stew is made with hominy and pork or chicken. This particular version of Arturo's is made with chicken, and is called "pozole blanco" in his native state of Guerrero, Mexico, where pozole is practically the state dish. While in New Mexico posole is traditionally served on Christmas eve, in Guerrero it is served every Thursday and Saturday, all year long. Light and healthful, pozole is also a common Mexican cure for a hangover, ironic in that it is also traditionally enjoyed with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescal">mezcal</a>.</p>
