The article provides a traditional Mexican recipe called Menudo, also known as Menudo Rojo. Menudo is a popular dish in Mexican cuisine, especially enjoyed as a comforting meal during the holiday season. The dish is made using beef tripe, a type of edible lining from the stomach of a cow.

To start, prepare the necessary ingredients, which include three pounds of beef tripe, a quartered onion, garlic cloves, oregano, bay leaves, and salt.

It is important to clean the tripe thoroughly, removing any excess fat or impurities. The tripe is then cut into small pieces and pre-boiled until tender.

Once the tripe is tender, drain it and set it aside. In a large pot, combine the quartered onion, garlic cloves, oregano, and bay leaves. Add the tripe to the pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for approximately four hours, until the tripe is soft and fully cooked.

Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface during the cooking process.

While the tripe is simmering, prepare the red chili sauce. Soak dried guajillo and ancho peppers in hot water for about 30 minutes until they soften. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and place them in a blender with garlic cloves and salt. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth sauce. Strain the sauce to remove any remaining pieces of pepper skin and set it aside.
