Recipe for Long Pig Menudo
It is best to purge the long pig. A couple days of fasting and two liters of nulitely will work, leaving the intestines sparkling clean.
Spit the long pig from asshole to mouth with a strong metal (or wood, which gives a better flavor: suggest alder) spike and roast it slowly over apple or pecan wood (or post oak if the others are not available). Mesquite ruins the delicate flesh for other dishes. This takes about 24 hours, and it is best to start with a live long pig.
Cut up the roasted flesh and put aside for a mole or to cook further in adobo. The mild smoke adds an extra dimension. The meat from the face can be peeled and eaten in tacos while waiting for the menudo to cook, or served with the menudo. The brains, though delectable, are not recommended as CJD and other prion induced maladies are not inhibited by cooking.
Remove the tripe and cut into small squares and put in a pan with both feet each cut into four pieces, chopped onion, black pepper corns, several whole garlic cloves and salt to taste. Cover with water and simmer uncovered for about two hours, until the feet and tripe are tender.
Roast several large ancho chilis, remove the seeds and veins and grind them into a powder. Add to the saucepan with the tripe and continue simmering, while removing the feet, stripping the meat from the bones and returning the meat to the pan.
Finally add hominy and continue cooking uncovered for another two hours. Sprinkle with oregano and serve with the face tacos or plain flour tortillas.
Note: if the long pig is decapitated first, one loses some of the flavor from the release of fear and pain hormones and welling blood, as well as the beauty of the spit's exit from the mouth, but the head can be used for long pig's head soup. Just be certain not to overcook the ears, which should be crunchy. Be careful when removing the face so as not to damage the grimace, but the whole face and brain resting in broth brought to the table in a black cast-iron Dutch oven (or one of pedra-sabão from Mina Gerais) makes a glorious presentation. Warnings about CJD apply, however.
