Cooking Instructions

1 1/2 hours
  1. 1

    Remove the stem from the cauliflower and cut the florets into pieces about the size of corn kernels. This may take the most time, but it gets easier with practice. Rinse and set aside.

  2. 2

    Place the pork, cut into medium pieces, in a pressure cooker with the garlic, half the onion, and salt. Cook for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    In boiling water, add the cleaned and seeded chiles. Boil for 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Let cool, then blend with salt, a little oregano, cumin, and 1 whole clove.

  4. 4

    Once the pressure cooker has cooled and can be opened, skim off any fat from the surface. Add the blended chile mixture, straining it through a sieve. Return to the stove and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

  5. 5

    Slice the radishes thinly, shred the lettuce, and finely chop the onion. Have these ready to serve along with lime juice, oregano, and tostadas.

  6. 6

    To replace the corn with cauliflower, you can do it two ways: Place a portion of raw cauliflower in each bowl and ladle the meat and broth over it—the cauliflower can be eaten raw and stays crunchy (this is my preferred way). Or, add the cauliflower to the broth and simmer for a few minutes, making sure it doesn't get too soft. You really won't miss the corn; the flavor is almost the same as the original.

  7. 7

    Extra salsa: For more heat, boil 1/2 cup arbol chiles (seeded), blend without the cooking water with white vinegar and salt, then strain.
