Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams tripe
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 large carrots
- 1 large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 1 liter beef or chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the tripe thoroughly under cold running water to clean it. Place it in a large pot of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Once the tripe has cooled, cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch squares.
Peel and dice the potatoes, carrots, and onion into evenly sized pieces. Mince the garlic and slice the celery thinly.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the softened vegetables. Stir and cook for 2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually add the beef or chicken stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cut tripe, potatoes, carrots, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the tripe is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more salt or pepper if required).
Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with a side of crusty bread.
