Pork Menudo

Pork Menudo is another dish adapted from the Spanish and Mexicans. Others cook it using tripes. We, Filipinos, however, use pork cubes and liver. Pork menudo is also a primary dish in Filipino gatherings, primarily because a lot of people can partake of it. I like my Menudo spicy yet a little sweet.

There are many versions of cooking it but this is my version. Hope you like it! :)
