GUSTAVO6 0 Recipe by: GUSTAVO6 "Inexpensive to make, and fully authentic, this menudo will have your Latin lovers swooning! This recipe uses a combination of chiles to deliver its trademark red color, and packs a mildly spicy punch. And it is really quite easy to make - my husband absolutely devoured it the first time I made it."

3 gallons water, divided 2 1/2 pounds beef tripe, cut into 1-inch pieces 6 cloves

garlic, finely chopped 1 large white onion, finely chopped 1 1/2 tablespoons salt 1

tablespoon ground black pepper 1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano 2 tablespoons

ground red pepper 5 de arbol chile peppers 6 japones chile peppers, seeds removed

6 cups canned white or yellow hominy, drained 1/2 white onion, chopped 1/4 cup

chopped fresh cilantro 2 limes, juiced  Limes Large

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.
