Ingredients
1 pound pork loin, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 onion, diced
2 tablespoons water
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 serrano chile peppers, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
¼ cup cornmeal
2 (15 ounce) cans hominy, drained

Directions
Season pork with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.
