Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
2
Add the pork shoulder to the pot, browning it on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the browned pork from the pot and set it aside.
3
Add the dried oregano, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
4
Add the hominy to the pot, stirring to combine with the spice mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the hominy is lightly toasted.
5
Add the chicken broth, browned pork, and lime juice to the pot. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
