Karen Mintzias
750 grams Tripe
1 Lemon (juice only)
Water
2 tablespoons Butter
1 large Onion; chopped
¼ cup Chopped parsley
¼ cup Tomato paste
1 cup Water
½ cup Dry white wine
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped parsley to garnish

Directions

Serves: 4-5 Cooking time: 2¼ 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.
