Filipino Style Recipe: A Filipino menudo is made of pork, liver, sweet peas, raisins, potatoes and carrots. While it has the same name as the Mexican menudo which is similar to what we called “callos”. This cuisine is a basic dish that we serve in any parties. I’d crave for menudo now and then, and especially when it has raisins that added sweetness.
Estimated time of preparation and cooking: 50 minutes. Good for 4-6 persons.
