Chitterlings, made from pigs’ intestines, are a favorite among Southern families. Traditionally, they are prepared during the holiday season, but deep freezing makes them available year-round. Delicious served with spaghetti or turnip greens. Be certain to pass the vinegar and hot sauce!
Ingredients
- 10 pounds frozen chitterlings, thawed and cleaned
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Place cleaned chitterlings in a 6-quart pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil; add onion and season with salt, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until chitterlings are clear to white in color and reach desired tenderness, 3 to 4 hours.
