Filipino Pork Menudo Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Filipino Pork Menudo Recipe is what I use for special occasions. It is the same recipe that we keep on using year after year for Noche Buena. Since this dish is my favorite, I have tried to make many different versions and this is what I like best.

Filipino Pork Menudo

This time, my eldest daughter, Dianne, helped me cook this dish. She asked me to teach her how to cook this version because she likes it too and she wanted to try cooking this in her college apartment. I am glad that all my kids are interested in cooking. I think that this is one of my accomplishments as a dad, to be able to make my children appreciate the art of cooking and learn how to cook — especially Filipino dishes.

Filipino Pork Menudo has a bit of preparation compared to regular Pinoy pork stews. The potato and carrot needs to be prepared by pan-frying. I also saute the liver in ground ginger to make it less gamey. This is a proven method that can make non-liver fans start to eat it. The actual cooking starts once these ingredients are ready.

Pinoy Pork Menudo Recipe

There are many ways to cook Pork Menudo. There is the version with ham (which tastes really good too) and there you can also add bell peppers and green peas. While I think that all version are good, I mostly prefer the simple one as long as it is a bit sweet and it has a few slices of red hotdogs.

The raisins in menudo are there for a reason, it provides the right amount of sweetness to the dish. The hotdog, on the other hand, is something that help identify menudo. I think that the taste won’t change without it, but the appearance will. It can be compared to the accessories (borloloy) of our historic jeepneys in the Philippines. The jeep can still do its main functions without the small horses on the hood and the colorful stickers all around it, but it looks incomplete without the bling.

    Hi! It’s hard to buy pork liver where we live (an hour drive to Asian store). Can I use calf liver instead?
