INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 10 pounds fresh chitterlings (or frozen chitterlings, thawed)

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 2 large onions, peeled
    • 🥔 1 large potato, peeled
    • 🌿 3 stalks celery, with leaves
    • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

  • Seasonings

    • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons salt
    • 1 large bay leaf
    • 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning to taste
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

STEPS

1

Gather the ingredients.

2

Clean chitterlings by removing all specks and any pieces of fat with specks on them. Rinse in several changes of salted water.

3

Place cleaned chitterlings into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Drain, rinse, and return to the pot. Fill again with enough water to cover.

4

Add whole onions, potato, and celery stalks, plus chopped bell pepper, vinegar, garlic, salt, bay leaf, Creole seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and simmer over medium heat for 3 to 4 hours; chitterlings should appear clear to white in color.

5

Use a slotted spoon to transfer chitterlings to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Discard onions, potato, celery, and bay leaf. Pour out most of the cooking liquid, then return chitterlings to the pot.

6

Cook over medium heat until chitterlings are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
