Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef tripe
- 500 grams beef soup bones
- 1 medium onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 medium parsnip
- 100 grams celery root
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon marjoram, dried
- 3 pieces allspice berries
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon paprika, sweet
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon (to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) pepper, ground
- 2 liters water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley, fresh (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Thoroughly clean the beef tripe under cold running water. If not pre-cooked, boil it for 15 minutes, discard the water, and rinse again to remove any residual odor.
Place the beef soup bones into a large pot with 2 liters of water. Add one whole, peeled onion, the diced celery root, parsnip, and carrots. Add the allspice berries and bay leaves, then bring it to a boil.
Simmer the stock on low heat for 1.5-2 hours, skimming off any impurities that rise to the top. Once done, strain the stock and discard the solids, reserving the liquid.
Cut the cleaned tripe into thin strips, about 1 cm wide and 5 cm long. Add the tripe to the reserved stock and cook for 1-1.5 hours, or until tender.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden. Stir the roux into the soup to slightly thicken it.
Add the sweet paprika, dried marjoram, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the soup. Stir well and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, marjoram, or pepper as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired. It pairs wonderfully with a piece of fresh, crusty bread.
