Menudo Recipe Using Liver Spread

This pork menudo gives you a comforting stew with tender pork, velvety tomato sauce, and lots of vegetables. Hotdogs and raisins optional.

Filipino menudo has nothing to do with the band or the Mexican soup. The colorful stew gets its name from the Spanish word meaning chopped into small pieces. True enough, the main ingredients are prepared as bite-sized cubes: pork, liver, carrots, potatoes, bell s. The small pieces help the stew cook quickly, making it an ideal dish for weekdays.

Menudo varies from household to household. Besides the main ingredients, you might find personalized additions such as hotdogs, raisins, and chickpeas. Use what you have and what you like.

It is actually exceptionally popular both in the provinces and in the cities. My husband would usually tease me when I cook this asking “have you been in a fiesta and you brought home menudo?”, mainly because it is also a regular menu in most Filipino banquets and feasts during family occasions, special holidays and important gatherings especially on fiestas. It is simple enough to quickly prepare but tasty enough to satisfy even choosy guests.

The dish is a typical tomato sauce-based stew using small cubed pork and liver. Several types of vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, green peas, can be added as well as hotdog or sausage. The liver provides its distinct flavor while the veggies and especially raisins, if using, give its hints of flavorful sweetness. However in this particular recipe I haven’t got liver as it isn’t available in our location, instead I’ve added Reno liver spread as a substitute.

Thanks to my brother-in-law who went on a short vacation and brought us pork, hotdog and liver spread, a complete main ingredient package for me to have this recipe done.
