Well-known chef and culinary specialist Chef Jill Sandique shares with us her two exceptional versions of the Pork Menudo recipe, made more delicious with Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, the world’s number one for over 165 years.

Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce makes meat taste meatier. It has that unique flavor with the perfect tangy, sweet, spicy, and sour combination. Just a tablespoon or so of Lea & Perrins makes the taste of any meat dish come alive.
