Ingredients

• 10 Pounds (lb) fresh chitterlings
• 2 Large onions, peeled
• 1 Large potato, peeled
• 3 Stalks celery
• 1 Medium green bell pepper, minced
• 1 Cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 Cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) salt
• 1 Large bay leaf
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) Creole seasoning
• 1 Pinch red pepper flakes, to taste

Steps

1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Clean the chitterlings by removing all specks and any pieces of fat with specks on them. Rinse in several changes of salted water.
3. Place the 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.
4. Add the whole onions, potato, celery stalks, minced bell pepper, vinegar, minced 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 until the chitterlings appear clear to white in color.
5. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chitterlings to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Discard the onions, potato, celery, and bay leaf. Pour out most of the cooking liquid, then return the chitterlings to the pot.
6. Cook over medium heat until the chitterlings are heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
