But it is an aquired taste.

OMG, I was thinking that, too, when I saw the title of the thread, I thought it was about the group!!

I had to look up to see what it was and I saw the word "tripe". Sorry, don't think I'll be eating menudo anytime soon!!:D

That looks good. Except I like the "Gringo" (white man's) menudo with stew meat instead of tripe. :D Lots of lemon and corn tortillas on the side. :D

You should try posole, its similiar to menudo but made with pork or beef ,even chicken. Look up the recipe.

[MonarC]

Posole - Posole is a traditional Mexican dish from the pacific coast region of Jalisco. A thick soup that's usually made with pork, hominy, garlic, onion, chili peppers, cilantro, and broth.


Yummm. Sounds good. I did find a recipe here ya go.

1 1/2 lbs. pork shoulder
1/2 onion stuck with 2 cloves
2 cloves garlic, peeled
5 peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seed
oregano, pinch
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 cups canned white hominy, drained and rinsed
3 to 5 cups pork broth from cooking pork shoulder
1 cup canned chopped green chilies
Salt to taste
2 whole jalapenos, canned or fresh, chopped (optional)


PREP WORK
This recipe requires a simple prep. Prepare the onion with the 2 cloves, peel the garlic, chop the onion, peel and chop the 2 garlic cloves, chop the green chilies and jalapenos if you are using them and get the hominy drained and rinsed. Now you are ready to cook.

HOW TO MAKE AT HOME
Place the meat in a large saucepan and just cover with lightly salted water. Add the clove studded onion, 2 cloves peeled garlic, peppercorns, cumin seed, and oregano. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam that rises, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove meat and broth, reserving both.

Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in oil until translucent. Add the remaining spices, stir for a minute. Cut the reserved pork into 1 inch cubes and add to the pan. Stir in the canned hominy, pork broth (if there is not enough pork broth, add chicken stock), green chilies and jalapenos (optional).

Cook at a simmer, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes until the meat and hominy are tender. If necessary, cook for up to an additional 60 minutes until the chilies and onions are well blended into the broth. Degrease the stew, taste for salt, and serve in soup bowls.

This is a delicious recipe and well worth the effort to make.

I come from a Filipino family, so I've eaten it several times, but I think it's cooked differently from the Mexican style. I've never had the Mexican style of menudo.

From Wikipedia:
Menudo also refers to an entirely different dish made in the Philippines. This dish, in contrast, is made of garlic, onions, diced pork chops, pork liver, diced potato, diced carrots, green bell peppers, soy sauce and tomato sauce, and seasoned with salt and pepper while it is cooked. Filipino menudo will usually contain tripe though common variants will include chickpeas, red peppers and raisins.

Ewww, I really hate pork, so I actually try to avoid eating menudo as much as possible now. :o :lol:
