Menudo is a spicy tripe stew from Mexico that features tender chewy chunks of long-cooked tripe in a hearty broth rich in hominy and infused with dried red peppers. Roasted soaked and mixed into the broth the peppers provide a sharp backdrop to the tripe’s assertive texture and flavor. Honeycomb tripe the geometrically most beautiful of the cow’s four stomachs is a good choice for menudo because of its tenderness and relatively quick cooking time.
