- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Drain, pat dry, and toss the tripe with the garlic, lime juice, cumin, black pepper and salt; let it sit for 15 minutes.
- 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.
- Rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot with extra lime wedges and, if you like, a simple potato side.
