| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Blanch the tripe in several quarts of water. Boil it for about 5 minutes, then drain and cool. Cut into 1½-inch by ¼-inch pieces.
|
2. In a heavy 8- to 10-quart soup pot place the tripe, beef shanks, celery, leek, garlic, bay leaves, ½ teaspoon black pepper, Beef Stock, and water. Simmer for 2 hours and 45 minutes, the pot only partly covered for the first ½ hour.
|
3. Cover completely for the remaining cooking time. Remove the beef shanks and chop the meat, discarding the bone. Return the meat to the simmering pot.
|
4. Add the marjoram, oregano, tomato paste, and salt to taste. Add additional pepper if you wish. Simmer for an additional ½ hour, covered.
|
5. Prepare the roux by melting the butter in a small frying pan and stirring in the flour and paprika. Cook until it is a light brown. Whisk the roux into the pot, stirring carefully as it thickens.
