When the weather starts to cool down, nothing warms the soul quite like a steaming bowl of Easy Red Pork Pozole. This traditional Mexican-inspired soup is known for its rich, savory broth, tender pork, and hearty hominy. Best of all, this version is gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, and soy-free-with an option to keep it dairy-free-making it a comforting dish you can share with everyone around the table.
This simple step, recommended by Marissa Stevens of Pinch and Swirl and shared in a recent interview with our sister site The Takeout, does more than just pre-cook the surface. It begins tightening the skin, draws out surface moisture, and primes the pork for the kind of high-heat blast that leads to the crunch you crave. What makes this trick especially useful for home cooks is that it mimics the results of restaurant techniques without needing special tools.
