Pork Menudo Recipe


Pork Menudo Recipe


There lots of varieties and ways of cooking Pork Menudo, different provinces have different approach on making Pork Menudo.This recipe is not your typical Pork Menudo Recipe, I added and omit some ingredients to make it my own version and also due to availability of a traditional ingredients like the pork liver, which can be found in traditional Pork Menudo Recipe. I also added some sweet peas and couple handful of green beans since they're my favorite and it added to color to the dish, make it look more delightful for my kids, Also, this is how my Mom made it for us back in Philippines :)
Pork Menudo, traditional or not, is one of my favorite dish especially on special gatherings and occasion like Christmas, New Year, Birthday and Fiesta..etc. I like how the flavor just blend in together, the sweetness of the tomato sauce and the chunk of pork along with delightful veggies, just simply good! I always have Pork Menudo once a month, I always have it, during my lunch break at work ( wink! ) something to look forward!
