Author: Maggie Unzueta. Instructions Rinse the beef honeycomb tripe well. Add honeycomb, 1 whole onion, 5 garlic cloves, and 2 bay leaves to a large stockpot. Add water. About 6 inches above the honeycomb. In the meantime, make the red chile sauce.
Enough to cover all the chiles. Turn heat off and let sit for 5 minutes until soft. Toasted, soaked, and blended into the broth, the chiles provide a pungent backdrop to the assertive texture and flavor of the tripe. Honeycomb tripe, the most geometrically beautiful of all four stomachs, is a nice choice for menudo due to its tenderness and comparatively shorter cooking time. The honeycomb comes from the second stomach, or the reticulum.
After the grass has passed through the reticulum, the cow will return the cud to its mouth for a more thorough chewing before sending it to the omasum, or the third chamber. Also called leaf tripe, omasum is the most common type of tripe offered in Chinese restaurants, often as a steamed dish during dim sum.
As an extra precaution to remove overtly gamey flavors, the tripe is scrubbed and parboiled before it is placed into the stew. Provided that you don't have any minuscule cuts on your fingers, scrubbing the tripe with salt and lime juice is an entertaining activity in itself. Like removing a stain from an item of clothing, I use a scrubbing motion to work the salt and lime into the hexagonal weave of the tripe.
Split pigs' feet are used in the stew for body and flavor; prior to adding the chiles, the broth of tripe and trotters will be a beautiful milky white from the marrow of the bones. However, certain types of dried red chiles of medium spiciness, generally from California or New Mexico, also work well. I used some called chile guajillo , which were larger but also smooth-skinned and dark red. To sop up the flavorful broth of the menudo, serve the soup with freshly-made or high-quality store-bought tortillas.
Adapted from Authentic Mexican by Rick Bayless. To prepare the tripe: Wash the tripe thoroughly in warm water. Place it into a large bowl, sprinkle with the lime juice and salt, and scrub vigorously. Let stand 30 minutes; then wash the tripe again in warm water.
Place the tripe in a large stockpot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes and then drain. In step two, I would add broth in place of water and some cubed, sauted pork. This adds the hearty flavor that is missing when only tripe and water are used.
I also use pureed New Mexico red chili, adjust to your taste. I hope you enjoy my tried and true 'hints'. Read More. Most helpful critical review Lorraine Quinonez.
Rating: 3 stars. After reading the reviews I was excited to try this new recipe. However I was very disappointed with the results. It was very watered down. My family enjoyed it but my husband who raves about my cooking didn't care for it at all. He said he prefers and loves the way I originally make it because it's tastier and has a more richer and redder color to the juice.
I use a combination of chile California New Mexico and Guajillo in my own recipe. I think I'm gonna stick to my own version afterall. Reviews: Most Helpful. Rating: 5 stars. This is an excellent Menudo recipe. I added two pork feet and some bone marrow in step no. Also, I bought whole tripe and washed it first in several exchanges of cold water, then rubbed in the juice of two whole limes and about two teaspoons of Kosher salt, washed it again and sliced.
I did this only because this is how I learned to prepare the tripe. Brook S. For those who do not like the smell of menudo. Been cooking this for 33 yrs. Lorraine Quinonez. Diane Medlin. The company is Rumba Meats, and you can purchase the meat for this menudo and many others on Amazon.
I ordered this variety box and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It came in a very secure box, with dry ice and well packed. The meat was all still frozen solid and ready to either thaw or put in the freezer. It came clean and trimmed, which was great. My mom used to make this version of menudo when I was growing up, and I used to help her.
I remember the recipe now that I am older and it definitely brought back some good memories from growing up in Mexico. I hope that you enjoy this recipe, and that you will give it a try — even if it is a little bit outside of your comfort zone!

In New Mexico, we just go to the local grocery store To buy tripe, tongue, and oxtails. For me, it's Smith's, Albertsons, Walmart, etc Plus, we have numerous carnecerias. I prefer Smith's for my meat.
Happy cooking everyone.
