Menudo is a Spanish-influenced stew that is popular in Filipino cuisine. Traditional menudo is commonly eaten for lunch or dinner and consists of cubes of pork simmered in tomato sauce, with vegetables added afterwards. This recipe uses ground pork instead, which is a practical variation and an easy way of making menudo.
