Friend bought buche - Pork Stomach instead of Pork Belly

[Icanmakeit]

Spanish is her second language, English is her first, so somehow my request for pork belly to make homemade bacon with turned into pork stomach when she got back from the market. Now I have about 5 pounds of it!

I have googled recipes and found only a scant few that are for tacos or using the stomach as sort of a casing for other fillings. I have found instructions on the proper cleaning of the organ, so I'm good there.

Does anyone have any suggestions or good links?

The meat will probably be going back to work with me as lunch for me and my co-workers as my husband and daughter probably won't touch it!

I've had some really fantastic pork stomach at a Chinese place in Michigan this year, but I couldn't tell you at all what it was, exactly. But at least don't despair, pork stomach can be awesome. You might do a search in the China: Cooking & Baking forum and see if anything comes up.

I just recently had cuajito or cuajitos at a Puerto Rican cart here, just a sample (the owner was showing off some of his dishes). I liked it but have no idea how it's served. You might look for recipes for Puerto Rican cuajito en salsa.

Thanks for the help - I think it's going in the freezer for now.
