Menudo

We had menudo for lunch the other day. I prefer menudo over caldereta because I like pork more than beef. My husband love the latter though. Before, he wasn't crazy about the menudo because of the liver in it but lately he is starting to adopt to it and I'm glad that he does because that's one of my favorite ingredients in menudo hehehe.

Got this recipe from filipinofoodrecipes.net.
