Posole from New Mexico
For me, there are some places at Christmas that I long to be because they yell Christmas at me. These places include Connecticut, where I grew up, any Christmas market in Europe, and Santa Fe.
Each place is unique and
dear to my heart, and each place has its own Christmas style that is unique
.
Years ago, I finished my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education at the University of New Mexico and then stayed and taught high school history for a few years. Santa Fe was 45 minutes from where I lived, and I loved going there as often as possible.
It’s such a beautiful and unique place and has its own authentic way of celebrating Christmas. Everything from luminary-lit paths, strings of chili (pepper chili crowns), and delicious food like this New Mexico Posole recipe!
When I taught high school in New Mexico every year, just before Christmas break, the PTO hosted a traditional New Mexico party for teachers. This was a lunch I looked forward to every year.
On the menu would be New Mexico-style enchiladas, tamales, biscochitos and this New Mexico pozole recipe!
Pork Posole is usually served in towns at Saints’ Day parties and Christmas and New Year’s gatherings throughout New Mexico.
