  • Preparation: 30 min
  • Cooking: 45 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (212 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low carb
  • Contains: beef

Ingredients

  • 180 g Beef tripe, raw
  • 6 g Garlic, raw
  • 15 g Lime juice
  • 1 g Cumin
  • 0.5 g Black pepper
  • 1 g Salt
  • 8 g Vegetable oil

Method

  1. Beef tripe is the closest catalog stand-in for the small intestine traditionally used; if you can get cleaned beef intestine, use it the same way.
  2. Rinse the tripe well, then boil it in plenty of water for 40 minutes until tender, changing the water once partway through to keep the flavor clean.
  3. Drain, pat dry, and toss the tripe with the garlic, lime juice, cumin, black pepper and salt; let it sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Thread the pieces onto skewers if you like, then grill or pan-fry over high heat with the oil for 10-12 minutes, turning often, until crisp and deeply browned on the outside.
  5. Rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot with extra lime wedges and, if you like, a simple potato side.
