Have you ever heard of Molina?

Question

My family has had a recipe for 20 some odd years they got from a woman whose family owned a mexican restraunt. (they won't give me the recipe and I'm wanting to make some). The recipe is called Molina.

Anyone ever heard of it? If so, please share the ingredients. Thanks!

Answer 1

I wonder if you aren't thinking about pozole?  I don't know why it would be called Molina, but this is the closest thing I could think of to what you're describing.  I don't have my own recipe, but this is a good base for you to try and experiment with...

1 large head garlic

12 cups water

4 cups chicken broth

4 pounds country-style pork ribs

1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican), crumbled

2 ounces dried New Mexico red chiles

1 1/2 cups boiling-hot water

1/4 large white onion

3 teaspoons salt

two 30-ounce cans white hominy (preferably Bush's Best)

8 corn tortillas

about 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

Accompaniments:

diced avocado

thinly sliced iceberg or romaine lettuce

chopped white onion

diced radishes

lime wedges

dried oregano

dried hot red pepper flakes

Peel garlic cloves and reserve 2 for chile sauce. Slice remaining garlic. In a 7- to 8-quart heavy kettle bring water and broth just to a boil with sliced garlic and pork. Skim surface and add oregano. Gently simmer pork, uncovered, until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

While pork is simmering, wearing protective gloves, discard stems from chiles and in a bowl combine chiles with boiling-hot water. Soak chiles, turning them occasionally, 30 minutes. Cut onion into large pieces and in a blender purée with chiles and soaking liquid, reserved garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt until smooth.

Transfer pork with tongs to a cutting board and reserve broth mixture. Shred pork, using 2 forks, and discard bones. Rinse and drain hominy. Return pork to broth mixture and add chile sauce, hominy, and remaining teaspoon salt. Simmer pozole 30 minutes and, if necessary, season with salt. Pozole may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.

While pozole is simmering, stack tortillas and halve. Cut halves crosswise into thin strips. In a 9- to 10-inch skillet heat 1/2 inch oil until hot but not smoking and fry tortilla strips in 3 or 4 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer tortilla strips with a slotted spoon as fried to brown paper or paper towels to drain. Transfer tortilla strips to a bowl. Tortilla strips may be made 1 day ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
