Ingredients

20 servings

  • 10 pounds fresh chitterlings (or frozen chitterlings, thawed)
  • 2 large onions, peeled
  • 1 large potato, peeled
  • 3 stalks celery, with leaves
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 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

Instructions

  • Clean chitterlings by removing all specks and any pieces of fat with specks on them. Rinse in several changes of salted water.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Cook over medium heat until chitterlings are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
