Next you sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix on the diced chicken; then sprinkle the shrimp with another tablespoon of the seasoning mix.

Then add 3 cups of the mustard greens, 2 cups of the onions, all of the bell peppers, celery, and bay leaves. The one cup of okra and dump it all in the pot and cook, stirring occasionally to check for sticking. After 8 minutes add the apple juice and remaining seasoning mix, stir and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, should take 6 to 8 minutes. Add the seasoned chicken, cover the pot and cook for 2 minutes.
What you need to do next is add the browned flower and stir it in until a paste forms, then cover and cook for a minute. After the one minute add both the defatted stocks and stir well. Then cover the pot, bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. Still with me on this? Good, don’t worry only a few more steps to go. After the three minutes add the collard greens, the rest of the mustard seeds, okra and onions. Mix the vegetables in well.
Cover and cook again for 5 minutes. Next add the fresh seasoned shrimp and boil. When the shrimp turns pink and plump it’s finally ready

We prepare the red sauce by putting the peppers in a blender with the remaining three garlic cloves and slowly add two and a half cups of cooled broth from the stockpot as the sauce purees. For this point, I strain the chile sauce through a sieve. I discard any parts of the chile peppers that the blender could not puree. Taking the sauce, I add it to the stockpot. Continuing to cook the pozole at a simmer for about two to three hours until the pork is tender, and the flavors of the seasoning and sauce have penetrated the hominy and pork. I take a large spoon and skim off any excess fat. Listo! (ready) Now we have a delicious brothy soup to joy. Everyone adds garnish to their likening and digs in. Pozole a dish usually made for the holidays or special occasions, which makes it even more special for me. It is even better the next day when it has, had even more, time for all the ingredients to marry together.

Southern cooking brilliantly displays a community that still remains untouched by at least some of the craziness in the world around us. Things move a little slower in the South, and one of those things is the cooking. Preparing a Southern feast is a job. It is hard work, and it takes some time, but that is part of the charm.
