Menudo is known as the perfect hangover cure. Its rich and flavorful broth, made with tripe and spices, is believed to help soothe the stomach, alleviate nausea, and provide a much-needed energy boost after a night of drinking. So next time you feel the effects of a wild night out, consider preparing a batch of authentic menudo to get you back on track.
This recipe is also known as Pancita, Mondongo, or Menudo; the name varies depending on what region of Mexico you are from.
Here is a step-by-step process for preparing this delicious dish at home.
Clean and disinfect the tripe and pig feet with the following ingredients.
1. Trim off the fat from the tripe if needed and place it into a large bowl. Before adding the pig's feet into the bowl, use a sharp knife to scrape off pieces of the hair, if any. Add the pig feet to the bowl with the tripe and fill the bowl with water. Move them around to remove any residue on the tripe and feet. Drain out the water, and repeat this process as many times as needed until the water is clear. Fill the bowl with clean water, squeeze in the juice from two limes, throw in the peels and vinegar, and leave them soaking for 20-25 minutes to disinfect the tripe and feet.
Drain out the water and rinse well.
2. In a large colander or bowl, add the Nixtamal and rinse well to remove the residue. Do not skip this part because it may still have hydrated lime from the nixtamalization.
You can find Nixtamal at your favorite local Mexican grocery store. Nixtamal is not as processed as canned hominy; therefore, it will require longer cooking time than canned hominy and add more flavor to the menudo.
NOTE: If using canned hominy, add it 30 minutes before the menudo is done.
Boil the Nixtamal, tripe, and pig feet with the following ingredients.
3. In a large pot, add the Nixtamal, the menudo, and the pig feet. Fill with plenty of water and add one onion cut in half, a head of garlic, plenty of salt, and 2-3 ay leaves. Boil for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. During the process, keep a close eye on the water level and add more if needed,
Sauce Ingredients
NOTE: To add more color and flavor to the menudo, use chiles anchos and cut down 10-12 chile guajillos.
4. Rinse the chiles before removing the stem. Pat them dry with a clean paper towel, and remove the stems and the seeds.
5. Heat the oil over low/medium heat in a medium pan, add the chiles and garlic cloves, and lightly fry them for about a minute with constant movement, ensuring they won't burn. Add two or more cups of water, ensuring the chiles are submerged. Bring to a boil, turn off the burner, and cover for 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are pliable.
Note: Lightly frying the chiles first will enhance their flavor.
6. Fish out the onion and the garlic from the pot. Lay the garlic sideways to squeeze out the garlic using a kitchen knife or hand if cool enough.
7. Prepare the sauce by blending the ingredients from the pan, including the water, the onion, garlic pulled from the pot, peppercorns, and cumin. Blend for 2-3 minutes or until it has a smooth consistency. Pour it into the pot, add the Mexican oregano, and stir. Since we removed the seeds from the chiles and depending on the type of blender you are using, there is no need to strain it in the pot. Still, you can if you wish.
8. Boil the menudo for an additional hour. During the process, taste it and add salt or beef-flavored bouillon as needed.
9. Serve in large bowls and sprinkle with dried oregano, chili flakes, lime wedges, diced onions, chopped cilantro, slices of radishes, and warm tortillas.
Garnish Suggestions
Onion, Radishes, Cilantro, Oregano, Crushed Chile de Arbol, Lime or Lemon Juice
Menudo se promociona como la cura perfecta para la cruda. Se cree que su rico y sabroso caldo, elaborado con pancita y especias, ayuda a calmar el estómago y aliviar las náuseas. Además, los ingredientes llenos de proteínas como el maíz y la pancita pueden proporcionar un impulso de energía muy necesario después de una noche de copas. Así que la próxima vez que sienta los efectos de la cruda, considere preparer una olla de menudo para volver a la normalidad.
Esta sopa o caldo tambien se conoce como "pancita", Mondongo o Menudo. La receta y el nombre varían dependiendo de qué región de México seas.
Aquí te mostramos paso a paso el proceso para preparar este delicioso plato en casa.
Limpiar y desinfectar la pancita y manitas de cerdo con los siguientes ingredients.
10-12 taza de agua
6 libras de pancita de res
3 libras de patas de cerdo cortadas por la mitad
2 limas (más para servir)
1/2 taza de vinagre
1. Retire la grasa de la pancita si es necesario y colóquela en un tazón grande. Antes de agregar las patas de cerdo al tazón, use un cuchillo afilado para raspar pedazos de cabello, si los hay. Añadimos las patas de cerdo al tazon con la pancita y llenamos el bol con agua. Muévelos para eliminar cualquier residuo en la pancita y patitas. Drene el agua y repita este proceso tantas veces sea necesario hasta que el agua esté clara. Llene el recipiente con agua limpia, exprima el jugo de dos limas, agregue también las cáscaras y el vinagre, y déjelos en remojo durante 20-25 minutos para desinfectar los callos y las patas.
Escurrir el agua y enjuagar bien.
2. En un colador o tazón grande, agregue el Nixtamal y enjuague bien para eliminar el residuo que viene en la bolsa. No saltes esta parte porque aún puede tener cal hidratada de la nixtamalización.
Nixtamal se vende en sus supermercados mexicanos locales favoritos. El nixtamal no es tan procesado como el maíz enlatado; por lo tanto, requerirá más tiempo de cocción que el maíz enlatado y también agregará más sabor al menudo.
Si usa maíz enlatado, agréguelo 30 minutos antes de que el menudo esté listo.
Hervir el nixtamal, la pancita y las patitas con los siguientes ingredients.
Una Cebolla Blanca Grande
Una Cabeza de Ajo
1-2 Cucharadas de Sal
2-3 Hojas de Laurel
10-12 Tazas Agua o la Necesaria
3. En una olla grande, agregue el Nixtamal, la pancita y las patitas de cerdo; Llena la olla con sufficient agua y añada la cebolla cortada por la mitad, una cabeza de ajo, bastante sal y 2-3 hojas de laurel. Hervir durante 2 1/2 horas a 3 horas. Durante el proceso, cuida cerca el nivel del agua y agregue más si es necesaria.
Ingredientes Para la Salsa
15-20 Chile Guajillo
10 Chiles de Árbol
2-3 Cucharadas de Orégano (más para decorar)
2 Cucharaditas de Comino
6-8 Dientes de ajo y el ajo de la olla Cebolla de la olla
6-8 Granos de Pimienta
2-3 cucharadas de aceite vegetal para freír los pimientos
2-3 tazas de agua
Para agregar más color y sabor al menudo, también puede usar chiles anchos y usar menos guajillo.
4. Enjuague los chiles antes de quitarles el tallo. Séquelos con una toalla de papel limpia y retire los tallos y las semillas.
5. En una sartén, calienta el aceite a fuego bajo/medio, agrega los chiles y los dientes de ajo, y sofríelos por alrededor de un minuto con movimiento constante, asegurándote de que no se quemen. Agregue dos tazas de agua o más, asegurándose de que los chiles estén sumergidos en el agua. Llevar a ebullición, apagar el quemador y tapar durante 15-20 minutos o hasta que los pimientos estén flexibles.
Freír ligeramente los chiles primero realzará el sabor de los chiles.
6. Saca la cebolla y el ajo de la olla. Coloque el ajo de lado para exprimir los dientes usando un cuchillo de cocina o con la mano si no está muy caliente.
7. Preparar la salsa licuando los ingredientes de la sartén, incluida el agua. Además, agregue la cebolla y el ajo que sacamos de la olla, los granos de pimienta y el comino. Licuar durante 2-3 minutos o hasta que tenga una consistencia suave. Vierta en la olla, agregue el orégano mexicano y revuelva.
Ya que le quitamos las semillas a los chiles y dependiendo del tipo de licuadora que estés usando, no hay necesidad de colarlo en la olla. Aún así, puedes hacerlo si lo deseas.
8. Hervir el menudo por una hora más. Durante el proceso, pruébelo y agregue sal o sason Knorr Swissa sabor a carne según sea necesario.
9. Sirva en tazones grandes y espolvoree con orégano seco, hojuelas de chile, cebollas picadas, cilantro picado, rodajas de rábanos, jugo de lima o limon, y tortillas calientitas recien hechas.
Sugerencias para decorar:

By preparing birria in the instant pot you can enjoy your birria in as little as two hours compared to the 3-4 hours it usually takes making when making it the traditional way.
Yes, you read the title correctly! These simple but tasty tacos originated back in the early 1950s. Don Lauro from Zacatecas, Mexico (where I was born), first began selling his tacos in the streets of Zacatecas. Each time he was asked what was in the tacos, he would simply reply, Veneno, which translates to poison. My mom made these for us, but her recipe was a little different. Let me know what you think if you decide to make them.
Discada is a plate typically made on a large, concave metal disc called a disco. It's a very versatile dish prepared with different cuts of meat which usually consists of chicken, beef, pork, chorizo, ham, hot dogs, and veggies. The perfect dish to prepare for tailgating, birthdays, or any other occasion when you have a large crowd to feed. I especially enjoy this dish because the ingredients are never the same, and it can be prepared with ingredients you already have on hand. Add or take away ingredients to make it as unique to your taste and needs.
