Best 4 Tripe Alla Romana Recipes

TRIPPA ALLA ROMANA (BRAISED TRIPE WITH TOMATO, HERBS, AND PARMESAN) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine tripe and vinegar. Add enough water to cover tripe by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until tripe is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add more water as needed to keep tripe submerged. Drain tripe, reserving cooking liquid, and allow to cool. Slice tripe into 1-inch strips.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Add tomatoes and stir to combine. Add tripe along with about 1/2 cup of the tripe cooking liquid. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until sauce is lightly reduced and flavors marry, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir half of herbs into sauce.
• When ready to serve, divide tripe evenly among 4 to 6 warmed bowls and top with grated cheese and remaining herbs.

TRIPE ALLA ROMANA

Steps:

• Trim any fat from tripe, then rinse tripe under cold water. Soak tripe in a large bowl of fresh cold water 1 hour, then rinse again.
• Put tripe in an 8-quart pot of cold water and bring to a boil, then drain and rinse. Bring tripe to a boil again in pot filled with fresh cold water, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, turning tripe occasionally and adding more hot water to pot if necessary to keep tripe covered, until very tender, about 4 hours (tripe will have a strong aroma while simmering). Drain in a colander and cool completely.
• While tripe is cooking, heat olive oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and wine and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Pour juice from tomatoes into sauce, then chop tomatoes and add to sauce with the 2 cups cold water and mint. Simmer sauce, uncovered, 30 minutes.
• Trim any remaining fat from tripe and cut tripe into 2- by 1/2-inch strips. Add to sauce and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tripe is a little bit more tender but still slightly chewy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve tripe sprinkled with finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese and additional chopped fresh mint. Serves 4 main-course servings.
• Notes: Tripe in sauce can be cooked 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat before serving. Tripe is excellent served over pasta.
• That's it!
