Ingredients

  • 2 lbs mondongo or librillo
  • 4 spoons peanut butter (or roasted peanuts grounded)
  • 1 lb potatoes
  • 3 spoons achiote (annato seeds + oil)
  • 1 small pealed tomato without seeds (osterized)
  • 1 medium Red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 small green pepper (Finely chopped)
  • 3 Garlics (osterized)
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • comino
  • Culantro (a herb similar to parsley)
  • Ajinomoto (Monosodic glutamate)

Directions

1

Clean the cow stomach with water and Flour, leave it soaking for a while in water with lemon and clean it again 3 times. After the last cleaning with lemon flush it with water.

2

Boil it in water with salt and throw away that 1st water. Boil it again with 5 cups water, achiote, ajinomoto, salt culantro and comino, when it's cooked separate the stomach from the soup and filter the soup. Cut the Guata (stomach) in 4 squared cm (2 x 2 cm) or 1 squared inch (1"x1") pieces.

3

In a pot make the refrito with the onion, tomato, garlic, green pepper, achiote, oil, salt, comino, pepper oregano and ajinomoto.

4

Once the refrito is ready put the pieces of guatita in it and let them fry a little.

5

Osterize the peanut butter with 3 cups of soup and add it to the guatita let it boil a while. When the guatita is almost ready add the potatoes cuted in small squares. Let boil until the potatoes are cooked and the peanut thickens, if it thickens to much add a little more soup. This is a main dish, not a soup, so the sauce must be thick.
