Dear Suzanne: Tradition has it that eating menudo on New Year's day brings a year of
good luck. It is also known to be a sure-fire cure for a headache caused by
"over-indulgence". I'm not fond of tripe so I leave it out. All of these items can
be found in most Southwest grocery stores.
Here's the recipe:
4 pds tripe,cut into 1-inch sqaures
1 meaty marrowbone
1 large onion, hcopped
2 pounds oxtail
8 cloves garlic
3 cups canned tomatoes
6 cups yellow hominy
2 onions, chopped
61 tsp. thyme
2 ucps greenc hile sauce
12 long green chiles
20 dried red chiles
8 lcoves garlic
4 cups water
1/2 cup fresh mint
1 cup parsley
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Cover first 5 ingredient with water and simmer 60 ot 8 hours. Refrigerate overnight.
Remove fat and bone. Add next 5 ingred. to meat and simer 3 hours. remove seeds fro
chiles, cvoer with water and simmer 30 minutes. Remove and blend in blender with
garlic clvoes and water. Add to soup. The last hour of cooking, chop mint, parsley
and cilantro and cook with soup.
