Menudo is one of many traditional Mexican foods and this soup contains calves’ feet or pigs’ feet, tripe, chilies and more. The word “menudo” refers to both the stomach meat used to make it and the soup itself. This soup is very popular in Mexico and you can see big menudo meat blocks in meat markets all over the country.

It is reputed to help with hangovers and have medicinal properties because of the way it induces sweating, making it popular on New Year’s morning. Other popular ingredients in menudo include crushed red chilies, oregano, onions and cilantro, although there are various recipes for menudo and each is slightly different. Hominy is added to this soup in northern Mexico but not in some other areas.

For such a popular soup, both in Mexico and the southwest of the United States, it might sound surprising that it has not found its way on to many Mexican or Tex Mex restaurant menus. This is perhaps because of the unusual ingredients in the soup and the fact that it takes so long to make.

Tips for Tasty Menudo

Menudo is made with tripe. Choose honeycomb tripe because it is not as tough as other kinds. To improve the flavor of the soup, skim the fat off the top several times an hour while it cooks. A lot of fat comes out of the meat. Menudo takes a long time to make so you need to plan it the day before making it. It is said to taste better after being reheated, since the flavors become stronger. Menudo keeps for a couple of days in the refrigerator so you could try this.

Recipe for Mexican Menudo

This is a very easy dish to make and you can serve it with chopped cilantro and onion, as well as tortillas. If you like, you can take out the pigs’ feet at the end, take the meat off them, and then return the meat to the pot, discarding the rest.

What you will need:

  • 2 cups dried hominy
  • 2 lbs pigs’ feet
  • 3 lbs chopped honeycomb tripe
  • Water, as needed
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • 5 chopped cloves garlic
  • 2 roasted poblano chilies, seeded, peeled and chopped
  • 1 roasted ancho chili, seeded, peeled and chopped
  • 1 chopped onion

How to make it:

Cover the hominy with water. Leave it to soak for at least eight hours or overnight. Transfer it to a saucepan and cover it with a few inches of water. Bring it to a boil, and then simmer it for two hours. Add more water if you need to, to keep the hominy covered.

Drain off the water, and then add the tripe, onion, oregano, pigs’ feet, peppercorns and garlic. Add water to cover everything and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for two hours, then add the chilies and simmer for one more hour.

If you are looking for typical Mexican recipes, you might like to try making menudo. If you thought Mexican food was all tacos and fajitas, you might like to try some authentic recipes, such as menudo soup. MexicanFoodRecipes.org When it has to be Real Authentic Mexican Food.

Mexican Food – Cheese Quesadilla – Authentic Mexican Food You Can Make at Home

Choose only very fresh tortillas. If they are not soft and pliable, they are not fresh. You do not want dried out, old tortillas. Pick up the package and toss lightly in your hand, bend them back and forth. If they bend easily, they are fresher than those that crack and break.

Better yet, get a tortilla press and make your own. Just be sure to use fresh flour.

What Kinds Of Mexican Cakes Are There?

Like almost everywhere else in the world, Mexico has its fair share of sweet goodies on offer. If you think Mexican food is all about tacos and burritos, you are mistaken, because their candies, chocolates, sweet drinks, and Mexican cake recipes are wonderful too! One example of a popular Mexican cake is the Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake. This cake features Mexican chocolate and cinnamon, is easy to make and tastes like a slice of heaven! Mexican Kajeta Chocolate Cake is also gorgeous if you want to tantalize your taste buds.

Tres Leches Cake is also very good and is lighter than a lot of other Mexican cakes. In English, it translates to “three milks cake” and is a butter cake, which is soaked with three types of milk – whole milk, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. The cake does not normally include butter in the milk, so it has a lot of air bubbles.

The top of this cake might feature fresh fruit, such as raspberries or peach slices, to add to the taste and is common throughout Latin America. The origin is thought to be between Mexico and Nicaragua but is not known for sure. Tres Leches cakes are popular at celebrations and parties, or even at weddings as well as the Mexican wedding cake.

Another interesting fact about Mexican cake is that Mexicans love spice. Not only are spices widely used in savory Mexican cuisine but they often appear in sweet Mexican chocolate cake recipes too. Jalapeos and chilies are often added to chocolate cakes. It might sound strange but it does taste wonderful. Chili gives a truly unique flavor to chocolate and it does go very well. The Mayas actually combined cocoa and chilies for many years. Chocolate Jalapeo Cake is an example of a Mexican cake where finely chopped jalapeos are used to give the chili
1000
taste and a slight kick.

Another popular cake that is made in Mexico is called Rosca. You will have to wait until the holiday season to find it though because it is a cake that is made around December until February. It is made into a circle shape that represents the crown of the three kings. The cake is flavored with lemon and orange zest and also contains almonds.

This cake is often topped with fruits. Inside is a miniature model of the baby Jesus. Three Kings Day celebrations usually feature this Mexican cake and whoever gets the baby Jesus in their slice has to provide the cake for the next celebration. You can buy Rosca from the local bakery or have a go at making it yourself at home.

If you have a love with crepes, why not try them Mexican-style? The crepes are topped with Cajeta, which is Mexico’s version of caramel sauce. The crepes are also topped with toasted pecans. Other toppings can be added if desired.

If you are having a party, try your hand at making a cake. You might want to make a Mexican cake with tropical fruits or a rich cake with cinnamon and other tasty spices. Whichever type of cakes you like, there will be a Mexican equivalent. Perhaps you would like to get some Mexican cocoa and use it in your Mexican cake recipe to give a truly authentic flavor. It is sure to disappear quickly once your guests find out how mouthwateringly delicious it is!
