The Best Down Home Chitterlings Recipe (Page 2 ) | January 14, 2024

Directions:

1. Place the cleaned chitterlings in a 6-quart pot and cover them with cold water.
2. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the roughly chopped onion and season with salt, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
3. Simmer the chitterlings until they become clear to white in color and reach the desired tenderness. This typically takes about 3 to 4 hours.

Cleaning and Handling Raw Chitterlings:

• Soak the chitterlings in cold water throughout the cleaning stage.
• Examine each chitterling, running it under cold water, and remove any foreign materials. Discard them.
• Leave some fat on the chitterlings during cleaning for added flavor.
• After cleaning each chitterling, soak them in two cold water baths for a few minutes. The second bath should be clearer. If not, soak in one more bath.

Note: To prevent contamination while handling raw chitterlings, wash surfaces with a bleach-based sanitizer and thoroughly wash your hands with soap.
