Sixteen Quarts Of Mexican Medicine.

[tabs]

This weekend one of the local Mexican Supers had a special on Tripe, Hominy, and Cabbage. So I decide to make up a vat of Mexican Medicine...the Hispanic lady in front of me at the the meat counter bought 30 lbs of Tripe for Menudo...for the New Years celebration. I just bought 6 pounds.

I cut it up in small pieces, soak it in water with some Vinegar for several hours to get the Tripey taste out Bring it to a boil with some Salt, Bay Leaf, and Oregano.

Make up a batch of Red Chili Sauce with 20 or so dried Chilis, toast the dried Chili's on a griddle for a minute or two, cut the stems and remove the seeds bring to a boil to rehydrate the Chili's. Cool and place in a blender to puree, then double strain the sauce. Placing it back on the stove for a slow simmer to reduce.

After the Tripe is tender I put in 2 chopped Onions, 6 sliced Carrots, 1 big can of Hominy, the Red Chili sauce, 2 medium heads of sliced Cabbage. Letting it all simmer for several hours to meld flavors. Like a Italian gravy it always gets better the next day as the flavors meld.

Serve with Lemon or Lime for a bit of tartness, Raw onion, Cilantro, Sour Cream, shredded cheese on top and some homemade Tortillas.







Here ^^ is some finished Guajillo Red Chili sauce for Chili Colorado, Tamales or Enchiladas. Very mellow and smooth tasting.

no copper stock pot?

Looks great. I don’t typically see cabbage and carrots cooked in. And where is the pork knuckles and feet?

A bowl of menudo in town is $12. always sold out.

Worth remembering - thanks.

A real bad stomach flu has been filling the ER rooms in LV.

Mexican medicine = black tar heroin??

I learned at a young age not to “bleeck” at anyone’s choice of food.

Food is so subjective. It isn’t one menu for all of us.

You break it down, a hotdog is more horrific. Hell, I bet there’s tripe in a hotdog

[Evans, Marv]

Though I'm not a fan of tripe, you've inspired me to give making home made chili sauce a shot. Good chili sauce is something I really love.

How many people do you know that won’t eat haggis but will snarf down hotdogs?

[vash]

What’s haggis. That stuffed stomach thing right? I’d try it
