Bear Posole

I had this dish years ago in the Sierra Madre and have made it several times myself to avoid letting gift meat go to waste.

1. Cut bear meat into inch cubes.
2. Simmer with slaked hominy, nixtamal. Canned hominy is no good.
3. Add cumin, chile, garlic.
4. Simmer until meat is tender, usually 2 hours. Mexicans improve this dish with a cleaned calf’s foot but pig’s feet work to improve broth.
