Instructions
1
Prep
Trim the chicken thigh and pat dry. Roughly chop the tomatillos, poblano, garlic, onion, and serrano so everything is ready.
2
Char
Set a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Char the tomatillos, poblano, garlic, and onion for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until blistered and blackened.
3
Blitz
Transfer charred vegetables to a blender with 1/4 cup stock. Blitz 30 seconds until a coarse green sauce forms.
4
Simmer
Warm olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add blended sauce, remaining stock, chicken, hominy, cumin, and oregano. Simmer 25 minutes until chicken shreds easily.
5
Finish
Lift chicken out and shred on a plate with two forks. Return shredded chicken to pot, stir in salt off heat.
6
Plate
Ladle stew into a bowl. Top with cabbage and cilantro. Serve with lime wedge and warmed corn tortilla alongside.
