Pork Menudo Recipe

 
 If you are looking for a colorfum, but tasty blend of dish for dinner, menudo recipe is the best choice for you. Commonly found on carinderias or turo-turo menu around the Philippines. Also on celebratory feast, this dish is something that you should not miss. It may be in same name with a Mexican dish, but the Filipino menudo is not made with tripe and red chili sauce. The Philippine version is made of garlic, onions, tomato, sliced pork and liver as main ingredients, and vegetables, such as diced potato, carrots, bell peppers, thus the vibrant colour once served. To enhance its flavor, seasoning such as soy sauce, vinegar, tomato sauce, salt and pepper are usually used. Hotdogs are also a common ingredient.
