1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 (15 1/2 ounce) cans or 2 (29 ounce) cans

Season pork with pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan (4-quart) over high heat. Add pork to pot and cook, stirring until no longer pink (about 5 minutes). Transfer meat to a clean plate.

Reduce heat to medium, add remaining tablespoon oil, the onion and garlic and cook, stirring until softened and golden (about 5 minutes).

Stir in chile powder and cumin and cook for 1 minute. Add hominy, tomatoes, chicken broth and green chiles and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavors. Stir in reserved pork, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook 1 minute longer. For a garnish, serve with finely sliced scallions.
