Instruction manual
1
Use a knife to make a longitudinal cut in the entrails. Free the entrails from food debris (this must be done if you are using the entrails of a freshly slaughtered animal). If you bought tripe in the market or in the store, then this step has already been taken for you.
2
Turn the entrails inside out and clean the inner film (gastric mucosa). This work is hard, painstaking. Be patient! All fat from entrails also needs to be cut, do not use for cooking.
3
Soak the prepared tripe in a weak solution of vinegar (2-3%) or in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate for 2-3 hours. This will help you remove the specific smell of entrails and make your dish more flavorful.
4
Rub the entrails with table salt and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Now the tripe is completely ready for cooking. Dishes from it will take their rightful place on your table and will be appreciated by your loved ones.
note
After completing each step, the tripe must be washed in a large amount of running water.
Useful advice
Dip the entrails in hot water for 5-10 minutes before cleaning. This will make the cleaning process easier.
