Recipe of Lamb tripe with rice
Vida Recetas Editorial
Lamb tripe with rice, also known as mondongo, is a traditional and comforting dish that stands out for its intense flavor and smooth texture. This lamb recipe is ideal for those looking for an economical and nutritious option, perfect for cold days. The secret lies in careful cleaning of the tripe and a slow cooking that softens the tripe and blends the flavors of chorizo, ham bone, and chickpeas.
The dish is made with simple ingredients: lamb tripe, rice, chickpeas, chorizo, mint, and a ham bone. The key is to clean the tripe well with lemon and coarse salt to remove any strong odor, then cut it into small pieces and cook it with the soaked chickpeas, chorizo, and ham bone. Finally, add the rice and mint for a fresh touch.
This recipe is perfect for beginners because, although it requires cooking time, it is very easy to follow. You can adapt it to your taste: use sweet or spicy chorizo, and if you don't have mint, you can use parsley. Serve hot, as a main dish or with good bread.

CLEANING: we open the stomachs and cut them into pieces that we can handle, we sprinkle them with fat salt and rub with the lemon on both sides, we do the same with the legs, once we clean everything we rinse it enough so that it is not too salty and cut into pieces
-
3
WITHOUT CLEANING: we make strips about 2 fingers wide and then cut them into squares of 2 fingers as well
-

We put the pieces, the chickpeas that we have previously had 12 hours soaked with water and a little salt, the chorizo cut into slices and the ham bone (we reserve the legs for now)

Put everything to cook with 5 fingers of water on top of the ingredients, defoam and wait for it to boil. Once it does, lower it to low heat and cover until the chickpeas are done (if you use them in a jar, let them cook for 1:30 hours and add them at the end)

When it's done, add coloring, try salt, add the rice and peppermint, the legs and let it cook until the rice is done (add 2 glasses of water to make sure it's warm) and that's it
