Green Chile Chicken Posole


2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 jalapenos, diced (seeded for less heat)
1 tablespoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 (7 oz) cans fire roasted green chiles
1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon dried cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 quarts chicken stock
4 cups water
3 cans hominy, drained
1 rotisserie chicken, diced

Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.  Add onion and jalapeno and sweat until soft, stir occasionally.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer until garlic is fragrant.  Transfer mixture to a food processor and add green chiles (do not drain), cilantro, cumin and oregano and process until smooth.

Transfer mixture back to skillet and cook on medium heat until the mixture has turned a dark green (about 15 minutes).  Make sure to stir the mixture often.  Transfer to a large stock pot and slowly add stock.  Bring to a simmer on medium heat, and allow flavors to meld for at least 20 minutes.  Add hominy and chicken.  Once heated through you may serve.
