  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 130 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (540 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Dairy-free, Low carb
  • Contains: beef, celery, gluten

Ingredients

  • 180 g Beef tripe, raw
  • 250 g Beef broth
  • 40 g Carrots, raw
  • 30 g Parsnips, raw
  • 30 g Onions, raw
  • 0.5 g Marjoram, dried
  • 0.5 g Paprika
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 8 g Flour, all-purpose

Method

  1. Clean the tripe well and cut it into thin strips.
  2. Simmer the tripe in the beef broth for about 1.5-2 hours, until very tender, since tripe needs long, slow cooking.
  3. Add the diced carrot, parsnip and onion, and simmer for a further 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  4. Whisk the flour with a little cold water to a smooth paste and stir into the soup to lightly thicken it; simmer for 5 more minutes.
  5. Season generously with the marjoram, paprika and salt; marjoram is the dish's signature flavour.
  6. Serve hot in bowls, traditionally with rye bread.
