Menudo With Pigs Feet Recipes

Steps:

• Wash tripe thoroughly. Remove the excess fat from the tripe and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the hominy well in a colander under running water. Wash the pigs feet well also.
• Combine all ingredients, except for garnishes, in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to low and simmer slowly until hominy opens and is cooked. Do not overcook. Skim the excess fat from the surface. It is best if you can refrigerate the Menudo in order to remove all of the grease.
• Ladle into bowls, and garnish with additional fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, minced pequin chiles, and lemon wedges. Serve with toasted bolillos (a Mexican bread made with corn flour).

Steps:

• Cook on HIGH for 7 to 8 hours until the beef tripe and pig's foot is cooked very tender.
• Add more Menudo Mix and salt if desired to your taste.
• Garnish individual bowls of menudo with lime juice, chopped onions and chopped cilantro leaves.
• Enjoy with guacamole salad and corn or flour tortillas. Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 1 gallon water to a boil. Place tripe in the pot, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours. Periodically skim off fat with a spoon. Drain water, reduce heat, and pour in a fresh gallon of water. Continue to simmer tripe for 2 hours; drain.
• Pour remaining 1 gallon water into the pot with tripe, and bring to a boil. Stir in garlic and 1 white onion. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Arrange the de arbol chile peppers on a baking sheet, and broil about 2 minutes, just until they begin to scorch. Remove from heat, slit lengthwise, and remove seeds. In a blender or food processor, blend the de arbol chile peppers and japones chile peppers until very finely chopped. Mix into the pot, and continue cooking 2 hours over low heat.
• Mix the hominy into the pot. Continue cooking 1 hour. Serve with remaining onion, cilantro, and lime juice.

Steps:

• NOTE use Menudo Mix instead of chili powder. The Ethnic section of somewhere like Wegmans [read very good store] or an ethnic grocery should have it. Or make your own: To make your own: two parts oregano, two parts onion flakes, one part coriander seed, one part cumin, and one part crushed red chili pepper.
• Cut tripe in small pieces. Put meat in a large pan with about 1 gallon of water and simmer together with salt, garlic, cilantro, half of Menudo mix and small onion for 3 to 4 hours or until tripe and pig's feet are tender.
• While cooking, add more water if necessary. Skim off white foam that forms on top. Add the balance of the Menudo mix and hominy and simmer for a few more minutes. Serve with lemon wedges, chopped onion and hot peppers (chopped).
• Servings is a guess.

Steps:

• In a 16 quart pot combine the tripe and the onions. Add water until pot is about 3/4 full. Cover and cook on low heat for about 2 hours, or until the tripe is tender. Add the hominy, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook for another 45 minutes to one hour to incorporate the flavors. Serve with fresh onions, corn tortillas and lemon if desired.
