Vegan MoFo Day 10

Vegan Menudo...Si Se Puede

Did I mention my sauce from my enchiladas recipe makes the best broth for Vegan Menudo.  All you have to do is add enough water to make it soupy and a couple more pinches of salt.  If you've never had menudo then really i consider you lucky.  Just the thought of what it actually is makes me squeamish but I loved the flavor of the broth (just spicy enough) and the crunch of the fresh onion and oregano.  To mimic the look of the "meat" I use oyster mushrooms.   This is the perfect meal for a nice autumn evening.  And having the sauce ready ahead of time will have you eating dinner in 15 minutes.
