👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Rinse the tripe thoroughly under cold running water. If not pre-boiled, place the cleaned tripe in a large pot and cover with 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until tender. Add more water if needed to keep it submerged. Drain the tripe, reserving about 2 cups of the cooking liquid for the stew.

In the same pot (or a clean one), heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes and green bell pepper (if using) to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a thick sauce. Stir in the ground black pepper and curry powder (if using), cooking for 30 seconds to release the spices' aromas.

Return the cooked tripe to the pot, along with the cubed potatoes and the reserved tripe cooking liquid (or beef stock). Add the beef stock cube if using. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.
