Green Chile Pork Posole

Season pieces of pork meat with plenty of salt. (For best results, you can season and let it marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.) Heat a large pot on the stove over medium high heat and put in enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When it's hot, add in the pork meat and let it cook on all sides. Add in the onion and sauté a couple of minutes. Then add in minced garlic, oregano, cumin, and a little more salt. Pour in the water and let it heat. If using fresh posole, add it in at this point. (Make sure it's been rinsed clean first. You can also soak it overnight in cold water.) If using hominy from a can, do not put it in yet. Let it come to a boil, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 2 hours. After 2 hours, add in chopped green chile. If using hominy from a can, drain and add it at this point. Let cook an additional 30 minutes...or until fresh posole has bursted open and is tender.
