Preparation:
Serves: 4-5 Cooking time: 2 1/4 hours
Wash tripe well, drain and cut into small squares or fingers. Place in a dish, add lemon juice, stir and leave for 1 hour. Place tripe in pan, add water to cover and bring to the boil. Drain off water and remove tripe to a plate.
Clean pan and add butter. Melt over medium heat and add onion. Fry gently until transparent. Stir in parsley, fry 1 minute, then add tomato paste, water, wine and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a slow simmer.
Return tripe to pan, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours or until tripe is tender. To test for tenderness, take out a piece and pull. If it breaks apart easily, tripe is cooked.
Place in a serving dish, garnish with parsley and serve hot with pilaf and a tossed salad. |
