Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef honeycomb tripe
- 0.25 cup white vinegar
- 10 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 medium carrot, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by cleaning the tripe: rinse it under cold water, then place it in a large bowl. Cover with water and add the white vinegar. Let it soak for 30 minutes.
Rinse the tripe thoroughly again under cold running water. Cut it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the cut tripe and blanch for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the beef broth and 4 cups of water. Add the blanched tripe, bay leaf, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the tripe is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
When ready to serve, remove the bay leaf, ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley.
