Directions:
- Place the cleaned chitterlings in a 6-quart pot and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the roughly chopped onion and season with salt, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- 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.
