Menudo

Who likes Liver? I do!!! I learned to love it when I found out sometime in my childhood I was Anemic. According to some medical findings, it contains all the things to rebuild blood. With my recipe today, Liver is used as a main ingredient to add texture and flavor. Menudo is a tomato-based dish, that the Filipinos love.

I have taken this recipe from the family's traditional way of cooking it. I learned it from my grandmother. Best Menudo I tasted was from her.
