Trippa Alla Romana Braised Tripe With Tomato Herbs And Parmesan Recipes

TRIPPA ALLA ROMANA: ROMAN STYLE TRIPE IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the tripe in a pot and cover with water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Turn the heat down to a very low simmer and simmer for 1 to 2 hours, covered, until very tender. Add water as needed. Remove the tripe from the cooking liquid, reserving the cooking liquid. Let the tripe cool slightly before cutting into 1 x 2 inch strips.
• Meanwhile, while the tripe is cooking, make your tomato sauce: In a pot, crisp up the guanciale or pancetta until brown and crispy and the fat renders out. If not using, heat up 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, until soft but not brown. Stir in the crushed red peppers and tomato paste. Add the tomatoes, the cut up tripe, and 1/2 cup of the tripe cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer for for 30 mins to 1 hour, partially covered. Taste, season, and finish generously with parm. Enjoy with toasted bread, if desired.

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.
