This is a great basic recipe. I enhanced it somewhat after reading the other reviews: 1 chopped onion 1 cup vegetable stock 1 cup chicken stock 2 boxes frozen green beans 4 thighs 4 wings 2 drumsticks seasoned the night before with TexJoy steak seasoning. 1/2 32 oz. bottle of Zing-Zang Bloody Mary Mix 1/2 32 oz. bottle of Red Eye Horseradish Bloody Mary Mix Served over rice with cornbread on the side.

I had some leftover turkey from Thanksgiving so I thought I'd give the recipe a try. Very good! I tweaked it a little by adding some ancho chile powder to taste, doubling the cumin, and substituting one can of white pozole and one can of yellow pozole for the beans. I also omitted the corn. To thicken, I dissolved about one tablespoon of masa in a 1/4 cup of warm and added it to the pot, stirring well, and simmering for about 20 minutes. Will definately make this again!

This is an excellent Menudo recipe. I added two pork feet and some bone marrow in step no. 2, making a richer broth. Also, I bought whole tripe and washed it first in several exchanges of cold water, then rubbed in the juice of two whole limes and about two teaspoons of Kosher salt, washed it again and sliced. I did this only because this is how I learned to prepare the tripe.
