Prepare the tripe: If your tripe is not pre-cleaned, rinse it thoroughly under cold running water. Blanch it by placing it in a large pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse again. Cut the tripe into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm squares.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
Sauté aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (175°C / 350°F). Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 3
Sear and deglaze: Add the prepared tripe pieces to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high (190°C / 375°F) and sear the tripe for about 5 minutes, stirring, until lightly browned. Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Let the wine bubble and reduce by about half, about 2-3 minutes.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 4
Simmer the sauce: Stir in the crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low (150°C / 300°F), cover the pot, and let it cook for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the tripe is very tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
⏱️ 1 hour 30 minutes - 5
Finish and serve: Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves. Stir most of the chopped mint and the grated Pecorino Romano cheese into the tripe sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining fresh mint and extra grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
