Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the tripe and pig's foot (or veal knuckle) in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours until tender.
  2. Drain the tripe and foot, reserving the broth. Cut the tripe into bite-sized pieces and shred the meat from the pig's foot or knuckle, discarding bones and skin.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chorizo slices and diced ham, cooking for 2 minutes to render some fat and release flavors.
  5. Add the flour and sweet red paprika, stirring constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Pour in the dry white wine and the reserved broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Add the chopped tomato, dried chili pepper, bay leaves, thyme, nutmeg, peppercorns, cloves, and parsley sprigs. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Return the tripe and shredded meat to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the stew is thick and the flavors are melded.
  9. Remove the bay leaves, parsley sprigs, and whole spices before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot.
