1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf

Instructions

Clean the chitterlings thoroughly by rinsing them multiple times under cold water.
In a large pot, combine the chitterlings, onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and enough water to cover the chitterlings.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3 to 4 hours, until the chitterlings are tender.
