Filipino Menudo Recipe

If you are planning to cook Menudo for your family but don’t know how, then don’t worry because Filipino Menudo Recipes are not that hard to find nowadays. In fact, you can literally ask your friends, neighbors, and relatives and you will be surprised that most of them will give you the answer you are looking for and will probably be happy to help you. Menudo, just like the mechado and afritada, is easy and fun to cook. My own menudo recipe consists of hotdogs, green peas, potatoes, carrots, raisins, liver, and pork as the main ingredient.

There are some variations or versions too of the Filipino Menudo Recipe, like instead of pork you can also use chicken as your main ingredient. It is actually more of a personal choice whether you want to use pork or chicken. But, personally I would prefer pork for my Filipino Menudo Recipe.

Here is my Menudo Recipe. Happy cooking!
