  • Brush the bottom of a casserole dish with a little olive oil.
  • Add tomatillos, jalapenos and poblano.
  • Roast in oven for 20 minutes.
  • In a food processor, combine roasted peppers with onion, garlic and cilantro. Blend with 1 cup of water until smooth.
  • Remove meat and place broth of both chicken and pork in freezer for 30 minutes. Fat will rise to the top. Remove the fat and place the broth in a large pot. Add additional water if necessary to yield 6 cups. Add the cooked chicken and pork.
  • Add salsa and hominy. Add salt.
  • Simmer for 1 hour.
