- Tortillas optional
Instructions
- Remember that you will need to have the red sauce ready minus the tomato sauce before beginning. Recipe linked above.
Making the Menudo
- On medium heat use 2 TBS of oil for your soup pot and place on the stove so you can pan fry the mushrooms.
- Cut the mushrooms into small squares.
- Fry the mushrooms until they reach a nice golden brown edge. This should take about 7 to 10 minutes depending on what pot you are using.
- Pour the 1/2 cup of red sauce onto the mushrooms and the 2 Tsp of oregano and fry all of the ingredients together to build flavor for about 5 to 7 minutes. Remember to crush the oregano in the palm of your hands to release oils and break down to a fine texture.
- After your ingredients have fried together add your 2 cups of water or vegetable broth and 1 cup of the hominy liquid along with the hominy and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. At this point at some salt.
- Your menudo is now ready to enjoy! Garnish with onions, jalapenos and squeeze some lime on top. Enjoy dipping your tortillas in the broth.
