Preparation

Step 1. Soak

Although this step is optional, a good recommendation is to soak the callus to soften it. Put it in a bowl with water and baking soda, cover it with transparent paper and put it in the fridge for 2 hours. When you take it out, squeeze lemon to remove any trace of odor and finally rinse with water.

Step 2. Beep

Put the callus to beep in the pressure cooker along with enough water. Also add two stems of long onion. Allow it to beep for about 45 minutes to an hour over medium-high heat.

Step 3. Sauté

In a separate pot, pour oil. Later add the big-headed onion and let it sauté for 3 minutes. Add finely chopped long onion, minced garlic and allow it to cook for one more minute. Finally, add diced tomato, stir well and let it cook for 5 more minutes. After this time, add a lot of water, the pork in pieces, chorizo, the already cooked tripe, cumin powder and color, stirring very well. Now, close the pot, leave it on high heat until it boils and there, reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for 30 more minutes. To finish this step, after half an hour, add the chopped cassava, the potato, the peas and the carrot to the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You should let the pot boil for about 30 more minutes over medium-high heat to soften the vegetables.

Step 4. Serve

Ready, your delicious tripe will be ready to serve. To give it a delicious touch, put finely chopped cilantro on top of each portion, and that’s it!
