👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a large pot, add the pork belly and ribs. Cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Skim off any impurities. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the pork is tender. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid.
- 2
While the pork is simmering, prepare the sofrito. In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic, achiote paste, cumin, and oregano to the pan with the onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly.
- 4
Add the cooked pork pieces and pork ribs to the sofrito. Stir to coat the pork evenly.
- 5
Pour in enough reserved pork cooking liquid (or fresh water) to cover the pork. Add the bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for another 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the pork is very tender and the sauce has thickened.
- 6
Add the cooked hominy (mote) to the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir well to combine.
- 7
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- 8
Serve hot, ensuring each portion has a good amount of pork, hominy, and rich broth.
