4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened.
Add the pork shoulder to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
Stir in the dried oregano, ground cumin, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 2.5 hours, or until the pork is tender.
Remove the pork pieces from the pot and shred them using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the pot and add the rinsed hominy. Cook for an additional 30 minutes, until the flavors meld together.
