Tripe Recipes..

You can still get it in Chinese restaurants which serve dim sum. It's usually lightly braised with garlic, ginger, black beans and chilli ... sorry, I wasn't brave enough to try !

I've never seen tripe for sale in the past few years, how did you get your hands on that?

As it is the inner lining of a cow's stomach the BSE scares kept it off the shelves for a while, plus, demand isn't as high as it once was anyway!

Just like any "offal", it is an acquired taste and something which just the thought of can give other's the "heebee geebies" :eek:

But, if you have a local butcher and you ask for it, they can and will get it for you.

Right,i've never cooked it,but according to my cookbooks you should wash it well,then cover with cold water and bring to the boil.Strain and cut the tripe into strips.Put in a saucepan with onions,milk and water,bay leaf,salt and pepper and simmer for 2 hours.After it is cooked you should make a sauce with the cooking liquid.

My Italian friend says tripa(sp?) is very popular in northern Italy.Here it is cooked with lots of garlic and tomatoes,which,frankly sounds much nicer.
Hugh F.W suggests using beef stock.HTH

PS Ignore the dogs! My dad used to have it when the neighbours had it, as my Mum refused to cook it :rotfl: It was cooked in milk with onions and black pepper as suggested above.

Enjoy :eek:
