Menudo

By

Menudo

5 pounds of cleaned and rinse, tripe cut into small bite size pieces

3 tbsp. Menudo mix powder

3 bay leaves

6 pigs feet cut in half

4/30oz. Cans of yellow or white hominy, drain and rinse. 

6 large garlic cloves

1 large onion cut in 4

4 tbsp dry Mexican oregano

Salt 🧂 to taste 

For the sauce:

1 chile ancho cleaned, seeded

3 guajillo peppers cleaned, seeded, open flat, and deveined

3 Chile Japones more or less depending on how spicy you want it...

2 whole garlics

Let's get started 

Cut menudo/tripe to bite size rinse take off as much fat as you can.

In a large pot boil the tripe for 30 minutes drain rinse and throw out the water.

Put pot back on the stove add fresh water to the pot also adding the pig's feet into the pot, and the rinsed menudo/tripe 6 garlic cloves and the onion, and bay leaves, cook for about 15 minutes at high heat without covering.

During this time, skim off the foam that forms if any,   cook for about 2 – 3 hour or until menudo/tripe is tender but firm (make sure you do not overcook).

You could set it on low for 6 hours if you want to cook it slower.

While the meat is cooking, prepare the sauce, toast the Guajillo peppers in a griddle over medium heat. Press them down with a spatula slightly toasting them without burning them, place the toasted peppers and chile ancho in a bowl and cover with hot water, (don't burn yourself) let them soak for about 5 minutes or until soft, once soften drain the peppers and place them in blender with the 2 garlic and chile Japones, and some of the broth you soaked them in, blend until very smooth add more broth if needed, strain the sauce using a sieve.

Now once the menudo is cooked add powdered Menudo mix, hominy, oregano, Chile sauce you just made, taste and add salt, mix and simmer for 30 minutes partially covered.

Do not forget to warm your tortillas

Mmmm mmm Mmm
