Posole Verde – New Mexican Style

Posole Verde – New Mexican Style

Red or Green?
Posole is a tradition that gets better and better each year. This year, the Red or Green? kitchen is changing it up and making a green version of posole: Posole Verde; it was only a matter of time before New Mexican's used green chile instead of red in their posole! The "verde" (green in Spanish) makes this more of a Mexican dish, but we have added New Mexican flavors here as well! You will love this cozy, delicious green version of posole.
