Authentic Restaurant Style Menudo Recipe (Mexican Hangover Cure)

[@2trutwin]

I'm a 51 year old black man in Houston and I have some in the fridge right now. Delicious!

[@glimmeringhope4520]

I'm a gringa from West Texas living in Houston. Trying to find a recipe like my college friend's mom. She used a lot of Mexican Oregano, green chilis and comino. I really loved the flavor with raw onions! This recipe looks fantastic too!

[@likethedrinkbutspelleddiff4605]

Almost 20 years ago I had a coworker give me some menudo and homany when I didn’t bring a lunch. To this day that still has got to be the best Mexican home cooking I have had. Also working in one to two houses every day for eleven years I will say that absolutely nothing beats the smell of traditional Mexican cooking in a home.

[@violetafernandez496]

Add another layer of flavor to the menudo: as it cooks in the water also add whole white onion, garlic bulb and some bay leaves. Thanks for bringing back memories of cooking with my mom.

[@LanaLou94]

What a blessing to still have your mother and to have a good relationship. I love how you respect her. Many blessings to your family.

[@switch733]

I agree! I'm the same way with mine, respectful. You can tell a lot about a man based on how he treats his own mom.

[@jmercado2964]

This is the BEST video on how to clean, cut and cook. This is exactly how I learned to make Menudo. My Grandmother was from Zacatecas and Durango and my Mom from New Mexico, both cleaned/rinsed the 'beef' honeycomb tripe/menudo with lemons & water and then a final rinse with plain water before cooking. Bush's is the best hominy. I like to buy 25 lbs of Tripe, then I clean, cut, drain the water and freeze in freezer bags, then I have it ready just to cook whenever without having to do all the preparation. Your Mom is adorable!!!

I'm of Italian stock, and I love menudo. My Nonnu (Abuelo) made it as good as anyone. He loved it ever since he cowboyed in Mexico for a few years on a huge ranch. My wife is Mexican, and she won't eat it. It is the best cure for hangovers. I used to live in a little town just outside of Laredo, and every Saturday and Sunday morning, I would stagger down the long driveway of the little ranch we lived on to the little cafe off the highway and order a big vaso of menudo to go. I'd limp back up the driveway and just sit on the front porch eating menudo right out of the styrofoam cup and recovering from the night before's excess beer and tequila. Good old days.

[@docwho10th88]

ESO! I am making 25 pounds with pigs feet for the last cold front of the season as I speak. Menudo is addictive!

[@mookie7788]

I'm Italian also and I love Menudo! ❤️ it's so comforting,rich and just a bit spicy

Used to help my grandma make this when I was little. The smell in the beginning was strong but after an 1 or 2 it was heaven.

[@Electraglide1350]

My Dad used to make the best Menudo. He would take some to work for lunch, everyone wanted a taste till he had non left. He HAD to take some for everyone when he did make Menudo. He would use the lower shanks to include the hoofs for taste ( just the bones, no meat ). Now days, the sell shank bone slices for the taste.

[@LadylvGod]

[@hughobrien4139]

My first experience with Menudo was positive. I didn’t know what it was, I just ate it and very much liked it. Back then all I knew was that there was a popular band with the same name so it must have been associated with goodness. A few years later I stoped at a small restaurant and had a bowl. It wasn’t that good. Chewy and something about the seasonings were off. While working as a surveyor in the Texas Oil fields the men working on the rigs knew I was out of food and hadn’t been able to get off location to go get groceries. This was never any real problem. When you’re working with your Mexican brothers they will make sure you stay fed. They called me up to the rig for a bowl. I knew exactly what it was. I was tired and hungry and it was the best bowl of Menudo I had ever tasted. It had the WOW factor. I had more than two bowls. Those men were surprised that I knew what it was. On one more occasion they called me an told me they had some Menudo on the rug floor. This time it was by far the worst. I didn’t want to be rude. It was food and I do not agree with too much complaining about it. Those men asked me why I kept eating it. They were all dumping it out. Evidently one of the guys on the crew didn’t know how to cook it good. I’ll always miss working with those men. My first experiences with ceviche. Molcajete was out there with those men. I’d cook them some biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast and they’d cook up some of the best ribs on a grill. I think I gained about 10 lbs working with them.

[@mwinchester66]

Thank you for sharing those stories. 😊

[@Meg_88]

Yeah, menudo is one of those dishes where the cook really has to know what they are doing or else it's not gonna be any good. My mom and my brother are pros at it... I myself have never made it and I'm sure I'm going to muck it up when I do try it my first time, lol. But practice makes perfect, I guess... just gotta find the courage first!

[@AlexJay2113]

Also out here in Texas. Houston area, to be specific. There's a great meat market by the name of La Michoacana that we have in quite a few places around here and on weekends they make some pretty incredible menudo. Greetings from Houston bro!

[@MichaelLopez-ee9hb]

Love your mama. Your home environment reminds me of how my Mom and Dad's home used to be. They used to make menudo for the Christmas holidays. They have since passed away prematurely and I so wish they were still around so that I could ask them to school me on this. After watching your video, I do remember yours was so close to how my Mom and Dad used to make it. I bought some red chili at Costco with the intention of making me some, but didn't know how, so, I disposed of it. Thanks to you and your awesome mama, I have a much better idea, and will give it a "pow."

Thank you so much for helping me continue to carry a tradition of his. I'll let you know how it comes out when the weather here in Austin, Texas gets cold once again.

[@doncheto2529]

Its menudo weather! One thing that sometimes turns people off is the smell , especially before the chillis go in. Sometimes that needs a extra extra rinse before cooking. Some people will use limes or vinegar to rinse it even more. I can eat for any meal any time of the year even summer , me vale. I love Menudo!

[@tabby4990]

My grandma was born New Mexico. We make it a little different- my grandma only used dry posole. She preferred the dry chilé Rojo since it’s easier then boiling chiles. she also put some chilé pequin and she used pork in both menudo and posole. She also made chilé caribé in a blender and would add some to the menudo or posole. We always saved some caribé in a bowl to add more to individual bowls for those who wanted it with more spice. We use a lot more oregano too. I had posted many videos on my channel but took them down so I can start fresh. But I’d love to try your way too. Looks delicious! My dad loved his with pig ears or pig feet. I use the can posole because it’s faster and I use the juice from the can and then add all my chiles and seasoning to that and I add some water. Taste the same as my grams lol

[@carbajal8283]

I was born and raised in New Mexico too. My grandma used red chile pods (not sure which other chiles she used), but I’ve used guajillos mixed with the NM red chile and it’s awesome. Gotta use Mexican oregano too. Makes a big difference. Nice to see another New Mexican out here repping!!

[@gsman5828]

That's awesome cooking with your mom. I remember the first time my wife had menudo at my parents house when we were dating back in the 70's.

Your mother is right, add the juice of the hominy. It also enhance the flavor of the menudo. it’s always best to clean as much fat off the tripe due to a odor that comes from the tripe and try adding a can of beer 12 or 16 oz’s can to eliminate odor and the yeast in the beer add a lot of more flavor to your menudo. Add beer in the beginning of cooking it add flavor and Smells amazing

I've never heard of using beer, but it is definitely worth a try if it gets rid of the smell.

When I was in college about 40 years ago, one of my best friends was Mexican from the Texas border. One fine morning several of us were hungover (not an uncommon condition back then). My Mexican friend wanted to introduce us (white boys) to the "Mexican Hangover Cure" at a place in town that served the best he'd ever had. So, the Gringos (I'm using this in a good-humored manner) went to breakfast with the Mexican. That was the first time I ever heard the word "menudo". It smelled heavenly. The tripe and hominy weren't my cup of tea but the soup part was delicious. I guess I didn't have the essential ingredients for the "cure", but it was a great experience.
