👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Rinse the tripe thoroughly. In a large pot, combine the tripe, beef bones, water, quartered onion, garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the tripe is very tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the initial boiling.
2
Once the tripe is tender, remove the beef bones, onion, and bay leaves. Discard them. Strain the broth and return the tripe to the pot. Add the chopped tomatoes and bell pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: If you prefer a smoother broth, you can strain it through cheesecloth.
3
Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4
Stir in the chopped cilantro. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
💡 전문가 팁: Add cilantro towards the end of cooking to preserve its fresh flavor and aroma.
5
Serve hot, with a side of lime wedges and tortillas if desired.
