For flavor, I would steam the meat as long as possible in water with garlic, a bit of cumin, and salt. I would let the water steam out and kind of fry the fat off of the meat. The meat at that point would melt in one's mouth.
For pozole, you want the texture of the hominy and really not the meat. I would want fresh hulled maize for the hominy. Where I live, I have to get the stuff in the bag. At least I can get the seasonings around here.

OK !
