Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Rinse the beef tripe thoroughly under cold running water, then cut it into 1-inch pieces.

   Около 5 мин

   Совет повара: Rinsing well helps remove any impurities and strong odors from the tripe.

2. 2

   Place the cleaned tripe in a large pot with the broth onion, broth garlic, bay leaf, and broth salt.

3. 3

   Add enough water to cover the tripe by at least 2 inches.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 hours, or until the tripe is very tender.

   Около 3 ч

   Совет повара: The tripe should be easily pierced with a fork.

5. 5

   While the tripe simmers, prepare the chili sauce. Place the guajillo chilis and ancho chilis in a small saucepan and cover with water.

   Около 5 мин

6. 6

   Bring the chilis to a boil, then remove from heat and let them soak for 15 minutes until softened.

   Около 15 мин

7. 7

   Drain the softened chilis and transfer them to a blender along with the sauce garlic, cumin, and Mexican oregano.

   Около 2 мин

8. 8

   Add enough fresh water to the blender to just cover the chilis. Blend until completely smooth.

   Около 3 мин

   Совет повара: Add water gradually to achieve a thick, pourable consistency.

9. 9

   Once the tripe is tender, remove the broth onion, broth garlic, and bay leaves from the pot and discard them.

   Около 2 мин

10. 10

    Pour the blended chili sauce through a fine-mesh sieve directly into the pot with the tripe and broth, pressing firmly on the solids to extract all liquid.

    Около 5 мин

    Совет повара: Straining the sauce ensures a smooth, lump-free menudo.

11. 11

    Stir the chili sauce into the tripe and broth. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer and cook for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Около 30 мин

    Совет повара: Taste and adjust salt if needed after the sauce has cooked in.

12. 12

    Serve the menudo hot, garnished with diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper if desired.
