Menudo Rojo con Patas de Res / Step by Step with Tips ❤️

Menudo Rojo with hominy is a cherished dish from my childhood that evokes fond memories. My mom would make it on weekends, always including beef feet, and our uncles, aunts, and cousins would gather, eagerly competing for the feet. Menudo was a staple for New Year’s Eve or the following mornings, and we all eagerly anticipated it. You have the option to include beef feet or omit them, but be sure to top your bowl with chopped onions, cilantro, serrano peppers, and your favorite salsa, followed by a generous squeeze of lime juice. It pairs perfectly with corn tortillas or bolillo bread.

Rachel I always use honeycomb menudo but I am careful not to over cook it bc it cooks in less time as the other kind. You cooked yours for two hours? Wasn’t it too mushy? I love your channel, u are a natural born teacher, a gift our Lord gave you…thank u !

The outdoor kitchen is a beauty. Is it hard to keep it clean?

Born and raised in McAllen and there's no place like the valley ❤ thank you for sharing your recipes! Your food tastes just like the way my mom and grandma used to cook. Sadly, they passed away and never got the chance to teach me to cook. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes with us! You're a great teacher ❤

Your olla is more substantial and beautiful than others that I have seen. Is an olla equivalent to a Dutch oven except made out of clay rather than cast iron? You should do a video about the olla it is very impressive!
