Tripe soup is a true symbol of Romanian cuisine, combining intense flavors and delicate textures. This traditional recipe, often served on festive days, is perfect for those who appreciate a hearty and flavorful dish. Additionally, it’s a quick dessert where the preparation technique can transform simple ingredients into something truly special. Let’s discover together how to achieve a perfect tripe soup, step by step. Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 40 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes Number of servings: 4 ### Ingredients: - 500 g cleaned beef tripe - 400 g beef shank - 2 large carrots, grated - 2 medium onions, finely chopped - 3-4 fresh eggs - 200 g sour cream (ideally, fatty sour cream for a richer taste) - Salt, to taste - Vinegar, for boiling the tripe - Garlic sauce, for serving - Hot pepper, optional, for an extra kick ### Instructions: 1. Preparing the tripe: Start by washing the tripe well under cold running water. Use vinegar in the water to eliminate any unpleasant odors. This is an essential step to ensure your soup will have a clean and pleasant taste. 2. Boiling the tripe: Place the cleaned tripe in a large pot, cover with water, and add vinegar (about 100 ml) to help tenderize the meat. Let it boil for 30 minutes, then remove it and let it cool. Once cooled, cut the tripe into thin strips. 3. Boiling the shank: In another pot, boil the beef shank in salted water for about 1 hour or until tender. After boiling, remove the meat and chop it into small cubes. 4. Preparing the soup base: In a large pot, bring the chopped onion and grated carrot to a boil. Add the strips of tripe and the cubes of shank. Let everything simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. 5. Preparing the dressing: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the sour cream and add a few tablespoons of the soup broth (this step will help temper the eggs so that they do not coagulate). 6. Finalizing the soup: After the soup base has boiled, add the egg and sour cream dressing to the pot, stirring continuously. Let the soup simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste. 7. Serving: The tripe soup is served hot, with garlic sauce and a few drops of vinegar for an extra acidity. You can add hot peppers for those who love spicy dishes. ### Useful tips: - Make sure the tripe is well cleaned to avoid unpleasant odors. - You can also use balsamic vinegar to give your soup a more complex flavor. - If you prefer a more sour soup, you can add more vinegar or lemon when serving. - An interesting idea is to add a few slices of mushrooms for a richer taste. Now you are ready to prepare a delicious tripe soup that will impress any guest! This simple yet traditional recipe will transport you to the heart of Romanian cuisine. Enjoy your meal!
