- *Red chile sauce – remove stems and seeds from 10 dried chiles (I used California chiles – Anaheims), soak in hot water for about 30 minutes till soft. Pulverize chiles with the liquid in a blender until smooth; strain through a sieve and add water if needed to make 2 cups.
- Brown pork pieces in olive oil in an instant pot or pressure cooker; remove meat.

- Add red chile sauce and saute for 10 minutes. Add pork, chicken broth, bay leaves, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and UR Roja.
- Pressure cook on High for 30 minutes, remove lid (you can break up pork pieces a little if so desired), add hominy and pressure cook for 10 minutes more.
- Stir in cilantro and serve with garnishes!
