- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ onion
- 2 tablespoons oregano

- Water
How to make Kid’s Machito:
- In a saucepan place all the ingredients.
- Add water to cover the machito.
- Cook for two hours, taking care that the saucepan does not run out of water.
- After cooking, you have to wrap the machito in aluminum foil or plastic material and put it in the refrigerator so that it takes consistency.
- After cooling the machito for at least four hours, it is ready to take it to the grill and brown it on all sides.
- The machito is already cooked, so the function of taking it to the grill is to brown it and take on the flavors of firewood or charcoal and that the entire exterior is crispy.
- It is optional to cut the machito in half crosswise and brown it on the inside of both parts.
- Final considerations:
- This recipe offers a machito with a soft flavor and texture, the salt helps to reduce the intense flavor of kid offal during the cooking process.
- If desired, the use of salt can be reduced so as not to counteract said flavor.
