Trippa alla Fiorentina

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 pounds tripe, blanched and boiled (add 5 clove in a water)
  • Half a pound of minced beef meat
  • 1 pound tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped
  • Salt, for seasoning
  • Parmesan, for sprinkling


Directions

Pick out only the best parts of the tripe, either the meatier part or the spongy, honeycomb part, cut it into very thin strips. Saute onion, carrot and celery in butter. Add oil and the minced meat then after a few minutes add the tripe. Saute until golden in color. Add the tomatoes. Season with salt and cook over a very low heat for about 1/2 hour, until the sauce has reduced almost completely, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The tripe may be served immediately without any garnish, or alternatively sprinkle some grated Parmesan over and brown in the oven for five minutes. ** (Tripe is best served with boiled or pureed potatoes or, if preferred, with cannellini beans in oil.)

This looks so simple and sounds full of flavor. My mom used to make tripe for my dad often.. He would be so surprised if I made it for him. Grazi!
