Ingredients

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 °F. Season pork with 1/4 tsp salt and the pepper. Heat oil in a heavy 5-qt Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning to brown all sides. Remove.
Add onion, poblano chiles and garlic to pan drippings; cook 2 minutes. Stir in beer, tomatoes, tomato paste, spices and remaining salt. Add pork and hominy. Cover and bake 2 hours or until pork is tender.
Remove pork to a cutting board. Skim as much fat as possible off pan liquid. Shred pork with 2 forks in bite-size pieces. Return pork to pot; stir in cilantro. Serve with radishes, lime wedges and warmed tortillas.
