Rossana, your menudo looks delicious, but then all your dishes do! My dad is from Jalisco, Mexico. He's 93, almost 94, and been living with type 2 for many, many years. Now my daughter and I take care of him. We've changed what we eat, how we eat, how often we eat all to help him, but because YOU and Nelson have inspired us. I only use avocado oil, and olive oil, the kinds I see next to your stove. You are amazing and you're both such a blessing to anyone who watches your channel. We'll be praying for you, and Nelson. 😘
Thank you so much for leaving such a heart warming comment. Your stories and support is what fuels this channel. Im deeply humbled by your words. Best wishes sent your way!
@@VillaCocina A lot of people I have talked to tell me that there is a severe bad smell when cooking Menudo, can you tell me what you use to get rid of that smell inside the house because they say there is a trick that is passed down from generation to generation so do you have that trick? God bless you and thank you very much.✝️✝️✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸
You are my go to channel for great Mexican dishes. I’m a white girl with a Mexican husband and babygirl and your recipes have taught me so much!!!! My husband loves menudo I need to try this. Im nervous too, but I think I can do it ❤
I’ve been making menudo for some time now and have finally came with a core recipe but always looking for other tips and ideas. You have it all down and don’t cut corners. Lately I been adding a little chicken bouillon and a little tomato sauce just to give the broth a more welcoming taste. Thank you for posting your recipe and sharing your life altering experience.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’ve always loved Menudo but never made it. I’ve been watching your channel for several years and Have made a number of your recipes. I’m looking forward to making this. Also I’m sorry about your condition and I thank you very much for continuing your work And sharing that part of your life with us. It creates authenticity and honesty, and it’s a nice reminder that we are all going through something. It’s nice to see good comfort foods can be on the healthier side.
I was watching one of your episodes and saw your CGM. My 11 yo was diagnosed with T1D in Oct 2021, after going into DKA and having to be “Life Flighted” to Children’s Hospital. Anyway, glad you’re adjusting and sharing your experience. My son and I read your blog post on your diagnosis story, he perked up when he read you had a similar story. Thank you for your recipes and for sharing this part of your life. God bless!
Thank you for sharing your sons story. Im so happy my story brought some encouragement to your son. Greetings to him! I also went through DKA and being diagnosed can be a scary thing but Im glad he has a strong support system with him. Best wishes and I'll keep you guys in my prayers. Hope he is doing well. ❤️ ☺️ Tell him I said HI.
This looked incredibly good and just the kind of food that’s good for your soul. Love seeing you and Nelson together - makes me happy and gets me smiling ear to ear ❤❤❤
Great recipe! I have a daughter and she loves making Mexican food. I love making food for both my kids. I am originally from Mexico but live in the US. I too was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and it has not been easy but I do my best to follow a good diet. My mom is also type 2 and I help her with her condition. Thank you for your recipes and sharing your condition. Keep up the channel going!
I like the fact that you’re honest and full open about your situation with your diabetes. I am a diabetic myself a type two I have a hard time trying to find things that are good to eat and that still taste good not as much as it was in the beginning when I first discovered this is it now that I can’t find things it’s just finding new recipes that taste good, but yet keep the carbs down so that the A1c stays down I appreciate the fact of knowing someone like yourself that is a good cook and chef and have went to school to learn how to cook so that I can get special recipes from you that I have great flavors and I look forward to following your videos as you go through your challenges in life. Thanks so much with all your Share.
Im sorry to hear you have diabetes as well... I completely understand, it's a rollercoaster of emotions and continuous work. A well balanced diet/carb counting is what allows me to enjoy my favorite dishes once in a while. And, I love that I can still enjoy Mexican food responsibly. Balance and portion control is key. Keep up the good work, Im happy to know I can be of inspiration. Lastly, dont forget to stay in close connection with a medical professional when it comes to your health because everyone is different❤️. Ill do the same 😊 (This is not medical advice though)
Thank you for your recipes!! I love menudo and now with your recipes with your videos I can make my own menudo!! 🤗 I wish I had a bowl of it in front of me now!? Your recipe looks delicious 🤤
Rosanna, thanks for the recipe. I know very little about Mexican cooking, but perhaps my picky dad Fermin would be interested in trying yours. The end result looks great! Rio Rancho, NM
You are most certainly right about breakfast, lunch and dinner... When working in my youth we much preferred this on Saturday morning work days over a box of doughnuts. It gives you good energy for the day and removed any cobwebs leftover from the previous night. Maybe I should try to make your recipe, the one we would pick up on Sat. was quite red and now I know the difference.
Rossana it looks like the same recipe my mom used ! I'm going to make this sunday . And thank you for the printable recipe . I'll put you in my prays GOD GLESS ( Hey Nelson nice BBQ 😎 )
Many blessings- I have made many of your dishes- exactly as you have and- 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Everyone has loved them! I’m just an amateur gringo who loves food! The biggest hit was your pickled jalapeños- took them to school and they were gone- GONE in one day! Keep on keeping on! ❤️❤️
Looks great. Do you have a recipe for menudo Blanco as well? I have had menudo verde. I have never tried menudo Rojas before but I will now. Thank you for all your effort .
I love how your recipes include all edible parts of the animal. This shows respect for the animal giving their life. I've only had Menudo once, but loved it. But the only way to get it is to ask one of my Mexican friends to make it. Now I can try to make it myself! I'll have to freeze it in single serving sizes though. 😅 The full story about your condition is relatable to me. I don't have Type 1 diabetes but type 2. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 40, though, and enough damage was done to my pancreas that I was (and still am) also insulin resistant. After 20 years I now wear a continuous glucose monitor in hopes to steady my numbers, lower my A1c and possibly get an insulin pump. I have 3 of the four things important to you. Prayer, good diet, great water intake. But due to several spinal conditions and diseases, exercise is extremely limited. I can only due light swimming (but have no access to a pool) and walking (which the distance length is limited). I'll be having 2 spine surgeries next year and hope the exercise limitations improve. 🙏 I'm also sending prayers to you that you'll always have full control of your condition. 🙏 I love, love, love many of your recipes and, of course, adore seeing Nelson. I look forward to your authentic recipes that are slightly adjusted to cater to diabetics. Thank you for being you. You're really special. 👍❤️
So sorry to hear about your health situation, Diabetes is a very tricky situation but I pray you find what works best for you. Stay motivated! also, thanks for sharing your story, thanks for the support. Im deeply humbled by your wonderful comment.
Hello, I love your videos, thanks for sharing. I've made this menudo recipe after watching your videos and it was delicious. Can I ask you if you've ever seen menudo made where they add a piece of a cinnamon stick at the beginning?? I thought it was odd, and wanted to ask if you've ever tried it or heard of it.
the version we have in Texas is made pretty much the same way..but it most of the time has ..hominy..yum..good stuff .... love your videos. i'll give your recipe a try.
Thanks for sharing, when I lived in Chihuahua Mexico 🇲🇽 I Loved this every Sunday ..Do you think I can get all the ingredients at a Mexican store near me, they do have Meats ..
Hello Rosanna, looks so delicious, as everything you make. I have a question regarding the Mexican oregano. Is it the same as regular oregano? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it here in Arizona.
No, its not the same. Mexican oregano tastes grassy with citrus tones. Mediterranean oregano has more of sweet anise tones. Over all, Mexican dry oregano just pairs better with Mexican food. You can find the link to the one I use in the description area.
It looks delicious! but I've never seen avocado added to the soup or had it without hominy. I guess it's one of those dishes that every family has their own recipe ❤
We have our Filipino style menudo. It's almost the same as Mexican but different meat and no dried peppers instead, a fresh red and green bell pepper. Oh, and tomato paste, chunk or sauce of whatever makes you happy...
I am so sorry you have to deal with this health issue. I have two auto-immune issues, and they are a forever problem! Bless you for continuing to share your special foods with us! You might want to suggest these diabetes-positive recipes as such.
Greetings from Seattle Rosana and Nelson! Looks so delicious. I would need to cool it down to let the oil and fat solidify for easy removal and add hominy. I guess this version doesn’t have hominy
Thats also a great option, if you have the time. And yes, hominy is a great addition. This is the version a grew up having and I wanted to share it with you all.
Read your story and much love to you and your husband. Strongest healing is family and the angles among us. True believer of the Lord. Also thank you for the recipes you share with us. I still make your salsa recipe.
So wondering what the limes are supposed to do as I have never seen my mother or grandmother do this step when making menudo . Does it make the tripe become tender or keep the smell down ? Thank you
About time I found authentic Mexican Menudo recipe with Cow/Pig Feet I’m tired of seeing all those knockoff Taco Bell Menudo without pig feet recipes 😂😂😂 Good job 👍🏻
Loving it. Menuda can't be eaten in a regular-sized bowl. You always need to bring out the big ones that are further up in the cabinet. Love the hair by the way.
Greetings!!! incorporating it is fairly easy. It's usually hydrated and blended into a sauce (very common technique. ) You just have to take into account its dried fruit sweetness, smoky flavor and the fact that is mild in heat in order to add the right amount. It can be paired with other peppers such as guajillos and puyas (for an added kick of heat.) It all depends on what kind of flavor you want to achieve, balance is key. Hope this was of help!
ROSANNA YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, LOVE YOUR ACCENT, AND YOU SHOULD BE AN ACTRESS. YOU REMIND ME OF A YOUNG MARIA CONCHITA ALONSO. FINALLY A SIMPLE MENUDO RECIPE, THE BEST PART IS THE PRESENTATION, CLEAR, PRECISE, NO WANNA BE STUPID JOKES OR FAMILY CAMEOS, DOGS, CATS OR ANY OF THAT NONSENSE. GREAT AUDIO, CAMERA ANGLES, THIS IS THE WAY VIDEOS SHOULD BE FILMED. THANK YOU.
Good question: If you are adventurous, the head of the cow is another option. If not, tripe and other parts of the stomach (omasum) would be good. . You could also make it with just the honeycomb.
Can you please give a time estimate on toasting the chilies, etc. I have a very damaged sense of smell, and they could easily burn before I smell them! EEEKKKK! Thanks so much.
Not always... some dishes vary depending on the region. Where Im from in Mexico, we don't add hominy. To be honest, I rarely see hominy added to menudo but like I said, it depends.
For the menudo, I don't have cow's feet can I use kangaroo's?? Just kidding.. what I'm wondering is are the cows feet necessary?? Also, why is there no hominy in your menudo? You don't like it?
😂 no, the cows feet is not necessary. The way it’s made can vary depending on the region. I grew up having it this way; having said that, I love hominy and have had it in menudo before. That will be another video recipe. 😊
Luckily Nelson is as cute as you are... we don't mind him getting in on the action... I'm type 2 and my meds don't always help... I have "protein" days...
