Menudo, also known as ginamay (Cebuano term for chopped into smaller pieces), is a traditional stew from the Philippines made with pork and sliced liver in tomato sauce with carrots and potatoes. Unlike the Mexican dish of the same name, it does not use tripe or red chili sauce. Pork Menudo is one of the popular dishes in fiestas here in the Philippines.

  • 1 lb. pork, cut into cubes
