Instructions

1.Preheat broiler. Broil poblano peppers and bell peppers on baking sheet six inches from heat, turning occasionally, until blackened and blistered, 10-12 minutes.
2.Transfer peppers to a large plastic bag, seal and let stand for 15 minutes. Peel and seed peppers and slice thinly.
3.In a large Dutch oven heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
4.Season pork with salt and pepper. Add to onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is browned, 5-7 minutes.
5.Mix in cumin. Add tomatillos, garlic and poblano mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatillos break down and release their juices, about 10 minutes.
6.In a blender or food processor puree cilantro, lime juice and chicken broth. Add to pork mixture with beer and jalapenos and bring to a boil.
7.Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until pork is tender and flavors blend, 2-3 hours.
8.Mix in hominy. Simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes longer. Serve with tortilla chips or rice.
