1. Remove and discard the stems, seeds, and large veins from the chili pods, then place in a bowl and cover with boiling water.  Cover the bowl and leave to soak for 20 minutes.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet, over medium-high heat.  Place the pork in the skillet, seasoning well with the salt and pepper and brown the pork on all sides.
3. Once the meat is browned on all sides, add 4 cloves of roughly chopped garlic and let cook for another minute.
4. Add the pork, 1 tablespoon of salt, bay leaves, cumin, oregano and hominy to a large 10-12 quart stockpot, and cover with 5 quarts of water.
