Total Time: 4 hrs Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 4 -5 lbs beef tripe
• 3 -4 pig's feet, cut through the middle by butcher
• 1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
• 3 -4 garlic cloves
• 1 onion
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro (optional) or 1 tablespoon oregano (optional)
• 6 tablespoons chili powder, see note
• 14 1/2 ounces hominy, canned and drained

Recipe

• 1 note use menudo mix instead of chili powder. the ethnic section of somewhere like wegmans [read very good store] or an ethnic grocery should have it. or make your own: to make your own: two parts oregano, two parts onion flakes, one part coriander seed, one part cumin, and one part crushed red chili pepper.
• 2 cut tripe in small pieces. put meat in a large pan with about 1 gallon of water and simmer together with salt, garlic, cilantro, half of menudo mix and small onion for 3 to 4 hours or until tripe and pig's feet are tender.
• 3 while cooking, add more water if necessary. skim off foam that forms on top. add the balance of the menudo mix and hominy and simmer for a few more minutes. serve with lemon wedges, chopped onion and hot peppers (chopped).
• 4 servings is a guess.
