Pork Menudo

Pork Menudo Recipe
This Pork Menudo Recipe is an improved version of the first menudo dish and one of the first Filipino food that that I have posted when I was starting this food blog. That old menudo recipe was a based on carinderia cooking method where the pork meat was pre-boiled. Today I would like to share an improved version which is more adoptable to the household kitchen.

Pork Menudo with Rice

The ingredients for my latest version of menudo were sourced here in Australia. I do not see any reasons that ingredients would be an issue should you are living overseasPork liver is more often available in bigger supermarkets, and definitely if there is a meat shop on your location. Hot dog have become an essential ingredient for menudo although you can make menudo without it, your favourite type of hot dogs or sausages can be used, for this pork menudo recipe I used cabanossi a red smoked sausage made up of pork and beef meats. This menudo recipe is more on the dry side compared to the menudo recipe that I have posted, below are the list of my older menudo recipe should you want to check.
