Hello /ck/,
I have a problem. I bought some beef tripe at the store, and I don't have any experience in cooking it. all the sources I find tell me so many different ways to cook it safely.
Some sources tell me to par-boil it for 30 minutes after cleaning, others tell me to simmer it for 1 1/2 hours. Others tell me that since I am in the USA, it's already cleaned and I shouldn't have to worry about cleaning it with rock salt and hydrogen peroxide.
What I want to do is use it as a side dish, ultimately pan fried with oregano. Pic related is what my tripe looks like.
If it's clean looking like in the pic, it's probably partly cooked already and safe.

So I opened up the package and I was not expecting the smell, doesn't really smell like bleach. Would it hurt to soak it briefly in dilute hydrogen peroxide?

Gramsey cooked tripe pretty well on the F word with a butcher that specialised in offal. Go youtube that shit, just replace the parsley he uses with your oregano.

Tried cooking it like this, and it didn't turn out so well. It was really tough and hard to chew, tougher than squid or octopus. One guest said it tasted like the raw thing smelled. None was swallowed, so I am not worried about anyone getting sick.

Chances are that thing is already clean. Anyway, just put it on boiling water, wait for it to come boiling again and let it simmering for 5 minutes, then remove it and rinse it in cold water.
After that, proceed with the recipe you had in mind.
> as a side dish, ultimately pan fried with oregano
btw you sound like you have no idea about what you are doing, but if that's where you want to go, well go for it.
I'm not sure if this is the right kind of tripe but this looks tasty. It's stuffed with beef which is kinda fucked up (a cow stomach eating its own meat)

You should make Roman-Style Tripe. Fucking delicious.

I had this at a fancy wedding one time, it was pretty good. I think even people who don't like tripe wouldn't mind it.

>you sound like you have no idea what you are doing
You would be right in saying that. Lurker here, not even in the cooking industry.

Woah so can I use tripe as a sort of 0 carb pasta?! Cause that's what that pic is telling me.

Why? Why make such absolutist statements when you obviously know so little about cuisine?

2 pounds Honeycomb tripe
8 Lamb’s feet
60 milliliters Garlic (opt.) or to taste
Coarse salt
3 Eggs
2 Lemons -- juice only
Pepper to taste
Vinegar (opt.)
Oil (opt.)
Clean, scrape, and wash the tripe and feet.
Scald in boiling water; cool.
Cut the tripe into small pieces, place in a large pot with the feet, cover with plenty of water; bring to a boil, skimming off the froth as it rises.
Lower the heat. Add the garlic, and cook at a slow boil for 1 to 2 hrs., adding a little coarse salt just before the meat is tender.
Remove the pot from the heat; strain the broth and reserve. Remove and discard
the bones from the feet; cut the meat into 3 or 4 pcs.; return to the broth.
Prepare the avgolemono as follows: Beat the eggs very well. Slowly add the lemon juice to them, beating all the while. Add a little hot broth from the pot, stirring constatly, then pour the mixture back into the soup.
Add pepper (chili flakes) just before serving.
NOTE: This soup, very light in color, can be served not only hot but cold.
For the latter, let it jell, then cut into squares or diamonds for serving.
When it is served hot, some people prefer it mixed with oil and vinegar, instead
in avgolemono.

This is traditionally had after a long night out drinking. People used to leave the bars and go to the meat markets that open at 5am and have this soup and other similar stuff.

Growing up, my Polish mom would regularly make a huge witch kettle of flaczki for my dad, who loved the stuff, freezing dozens of Tupperware containers so he could microwave one whenever he felt like having some.
I on the other hand, hated the stuff and remember walking into the house after school and the whole place reeked of it and my dad would tease me and try to get me to eat some until I fled to my buddy’s house.

Are you serious?
>>7454948
Not much of anything, it's a texture thing.
I never have had his before, it looks kind of weird looking. What does tripe taste like, exactly?
Do yourself a favor and make mondongo with that. And no, it isn't Mandingo's cousin.

I might be willing to try a small cup of it just to see if I’d like it now (48 years old) but mom has been gone for almost 10 years and she stopped making flaczki back in 1991 when my dad died, as she didn’t care for it either.
I see that flaczki is available at the local Polish market but I don't want to waste money on something I hated as a kid and will probably still hate today.
