How about a good ol’ South Texas bowl of red!
…no I’m not talking about CHILI! I’m talking about that other delicious bowl-a-red…MENUDO!
In Spanish there is a saying…
“¡Ese revive muertos!” (This soup is so good it will raise the dead!)
Menudo is delicious and traditional Mexican soup that is enjoyed year round, but it’s especially popular at gatherings during the holiday season. On weekends you can find this for breakfast at your favorite Mexican / Tex-Mex restaurants and it goes especially well with a squeeze of lime, chopped serrano and chopped onions and of course fresh corn tortillas!
It’s also believed that it’s the best hangover cure in the world so next time you have a hangover well you’ll now know what to do.
Now in this video, I’m gonna show you exactly how my mom and I like to make our menudo at home.
It has a few main ingredients – it is panza (called tripes in English) and in Texas we also use hominy, fresh cascabel and/or guajillo chiles and some key seasonings to make it my kinda WOW!
One big pro tip here is that you need to be sure to cook it for the appropriate length of time, the bigger the pot the longer it takes, usually 4-6 hours minimum on a low to medium simmer until the meat is very tender. Some people cook it overnight in a roaster and that’s ok too.
It’s kinda like some BBQ meats that are tough unless cooked long and slow but when done right they are so soft, savory and delicious, this is true with menudo as well.
Now, let’s get fired up and make us a BIG bowl of Tex Mex RED!
