Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork for 5 minutes or until beginning to brown on edges, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add onions and cook for 4 minutes or until just beginning to brown, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add broth, tomatoes, hominy, lentils, smoked paprika, and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until pork is very tender and mixture has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with cilantro.

This is a great make ahead dish because the flavours improve when refrigerated overnight. It also freezes well.
