Felicidades to Isabel Reyes of Chicago, who won the Familia Kitchen best pozole recipe contest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here is what Isabel told us when she sent it into our recipe contest: \u201dThis is my mom\u2019s legendary recipe for pozole rojo with pork, which my three brothers and sister and all my cousins and I grew up eating \u2014 and loving \u2014 in Pilsen, Chicago. My mom, Nata (Natalia), came from a large family of seven kids in San Luis Potos\u00ed, Mexico<\/a>, and learned to cook from her mother. Our mother’s family has so many great cooks, including her sister and my aunt Gollita [check out her recipes here<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a recipe that comes from my grandmother, who I watched cook for a few years when she would take care of my siblings and me. My mom has tweaked this  recipe a bit by toasting some of the ingredients, such as the cumin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, pozole<\/a> = PARTY! I come from a family that loves to throw parties, and this equates to great food and lots of it. Pozole is a great dish to serve a lot of people, or if you\u2019re Mexican, your closest family. I can\u2019t pinpoint the first time I ever ate pozole, but it was probably for someone’s birthday. My sister, Vero, will always ask for pozole for her birthday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I made it, it was a huge fail, because I did not follow my mom’s recipe. <\/strong>After my first failed attempt, I try to stick to the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great winter dish. My sister\u2019s birthday is in October so it\u2019s a perfect dish to have during a cold day. If you make it during warmer weather, a nice light beer pairs well. My mom makes this recipe typically for large parties, but you can easily cut the ingredients in half and make it for a smaller household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you publish this recipe, my mom is gonna be so thrilled!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
