Now this is the right way - They have a menudo mix you can also add with a little more garlic but it is great! Rosie knows how to make it for sure!

This is very close to my mom's recipe and that is why I am choosing this recipe to cook my menu this weekend. Wish me luck even though I have made menudo before and it came out very good so I was told, its been a while since I made it.

This will be the third menudo recipe I'm going to try this month, my sister used it and said it was very close to our mother's recipe. My only criticism is that we are never told what to do with several ingredients, mostly when and where to add, like the hominy, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and comino....why would you not tell readers what to do with ALL the ingredients??? My sister guessed, so will I, but would be nice to have thoroughly-explained recipe so that we're making the menudo exactly like the author.

OMG this I the way I make mine! Edgar, I always cook my menudo with the garlic, comino and oregano. When its almost done I put in the hominy. I also let my menudo and pig feet sock for about 30 minutes with 1/4 cup of vinegar so it can cut the smell down. rinse it and drain that water.

Have made menudo my way that family and friends loved and enjoyed. Will try this recipe and see how it goes. Added garlic powder, oregano and cumin with the tripe and hominy. Added small can of tomato paste for color. Will add flour and chili powder after tripe is fully cooked.
