🛒 Ingredients

14 servings

14
  • 4 kg beef tripe, cut into strips
  • 500 g dried white beans
  • 500 g chorizo sausage, sliced
  • 6 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 can (130 g) tomato paste
  • Fresh parsley and chives, to taste
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • A drizzle of olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Trim all fat from the tripe and blanch in boiling water with the juice of 2 lemons, adding the squeezed lemon halves to the pot as well to help neutralize any odor.

  2. 2

    Drain, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and repeat the blanching process once more to ensure the tripe is completely clean and odor-free.

  3. 3

    In a pressure cooker, sauté the onions in olive oil until soft and translucent, then add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the tripe, white beans (no soaking needed), tomato paste, salt, and white pepper. Cover with enough water to submerge everything.

  5. 5

    Seal the pressure cooker, bring to full pressure, then reduce heat and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, pan-fry the chorizo slices in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant.

  7. 7

    Stir the chorizo and fresh herbs into the stew, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.

💡 Chef's Tip

This stew improves overnight as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water if needed.
