It’s a filling and hearty soup made with pork, tripe, vegetables, spices, herbs and some cooks add sausage. It’s served in every traditional Colombian restaurant.

Beef tripe is the main meat in the dish and it is balanced with lean pork and pieces of Colombian sausage, which are used for rich flavour. If you don’t like chorizo ​​flavor just omit it.

Tips to Cook Tripe

Tripe should be clean very well before cooking. Be sure to wash the tripe thoroughly with warm water at least twice and cut into bite size pieces.

Traditionally, the tripe is cooked in a pressure cooker, which cooks the tripe faster, in about 45 minutes. If you don’t have one, simmer for a couple of hours in a normal pot.
