Instructions
Prepare the Tripe
Rinse the tripe thoroughly with cold water and apple cider vinegar.
Place in a large pot, cover with water, and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse again.
Cut into bite-sized strips or squares.
Build the Flavor Base
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, cook the sausage until browned and fragrant. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery until soft.
Add garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes until rich and aromatic.
Pour in the white wine and scrape up all the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pot.
Slow Simmer
Add tripe, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, oregano, and smoked paprika.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 1.5–2 hours until the tripe becomes tender.
Stir in the white beans and cooked sausage.
Simmer uncovered for another 15–20 minutes until slightly thickened.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Serve
Ladle the hot stew into deep bowls and garnish generously with fresh parsley
Serve with fluffy rice or crusty artisan bread for the ultimate comforting meal
Additional Notes
Why Tripe?
Tripe is naturally high in protein and collagen while remaining low in fat, making it excellent for recovery and gut health.
Best Texture Tip
Slow cooking is the secret to perfectly tender tripe. The longer gentle simmer creates the richest flavor.
