2964. TRIPE with ONIONS and BACON

makes six servings


2 lb. tripe, rinsed, cut into 2-inch squares
4 thick slices bacon, diced
8 medium-sized onions, sliced
1/2 cup flour
5 cups milk
1 cup parsley sprigs, plus 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 celery rib, chopped
1 small thyme sprig
2-inch lemon peel
1 bay leaf
ground black pepper, to taste
grated nutmeg
salt, to taste

Put the bacon in a heavy pan and cook it over low heat until the fat begins to melt. Add the onions, cover the pan and cook them gently until they are transparent. Stir in the flour and cook the mixture for a minute, stirring well. Gradually add the milk, bring it slowly to a boil and stir until the sauce is thick about two minutes. Add the tripe to the pan. Tie the parsley sprigs or stems, celery, thyme, lemon peel and bay leaf into a bouquet garni, and add it to the tripe. Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Cover the pan and simmer over very low heat until the tripe is tender—about two hours. Serve the tripe at once, sprinkled with the chopped parsley.

2849. TRIPE sauteed with BACON and SHALLOTS

2 lb. beef tripe
4 thick slices of bacon, cut into lardons
3 shallots, thinly sliced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Rinse the tripe in cold water. Place in a large stockpot and cover with water and a little sat. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer for 2-3 hours. Once cooked, remove the tripe from the water, strain, and let cool. Cut into 1-2 inch pieces. Over medium-high heat in a pot or large frying pan, heat the olive oil and brown the bacon. Add the shallots and garlic. When the shallots are nicely browned, add the parsley and turn the heat down to medium.  When the parsley is fragrant, add the tripe along with the salt and pepper. Sautee until coated with the bacon grease, then cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes or until ready to serve.

2802. TRIPE, BUTTER BEANS, and SMOKED BACON

yields 4-6 servings


500 grams fresh honeycomb tripe (from the reticulum of the ox)

350 grams smoked bacon, skin removed and reserved

4 grams large onions, thinly sliced

4 carrots, halved

1 leek, halved

1 small bunch thyme in muslin

2 bay leaves

chicken stock

Pinch of mace

500 butterbeans soaked overnight and drained

1 garlic bulb, split

4 ounces butter

4 grams onions thinly sliced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 bunches watercress, stalks trimmed

Salt and fresh black pepper

 

Rinse the tripe several times, then bring to boil in salted water. Remove immediately and drain in a colander. In a large pot, place the tripe, onion, carrots, leek, thyme, and bay leaves. Fill with enough chicken stock to cover by about 1 inch. Add the bacon skin along with any bacon trim, check the seasoning, and add mace. Bring gently to a boil and reduce to a simmer. After 2 hours, check the tripe (it should be soft enough to pierce but not melted into stock). When ready remove the tripe and chill in the fridge. Pass the liquid through a fine sieve and refrigerate. In a separate pot, bring butter beans and water to a boil, then drain through a colander. Return to the pot with garlic and simmer until tender. Remove beans (discarding garlic) from heat and reserve water. Cut tripe into 1-inch pieces. Dice the skinless bacon and fry in a pot until golden, then reserve. Add butter and onions to pot and sweat until tender. Season carefully and add bacon, tripe, butter beans, and reserved tripe stock. Simmer gently, then season with salt and pepper. Add mustard and quickly wilt watercress before serving.
