Pozole, the classic Mexican hominy-laced stew, is the perfect dinner party food. It it feeds a small crowd and the toppings passed around the table add to the festive nature of the dish. Though there are many different regional variations, this menu features a red chile chicken pozole. On the side are simple, freshly fried tostadas spread thick with black beans and drizzled with a little crema, as well as a crisp Mexican-style cabbage salad. Dessert is an intriguing make-ahead cake filled with candied chiles, chocolate, and pepitas. If you’re so inclined, you could serve it with a scoop of Mexican chocolate ice cream.
