| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Place the tripe in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover it by at least 2 inches.
|
2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer partially covered for 1½ hours. Drain the tripe in a sieve or colander and set aside.
|
3. Meanwhile, combine the beans and 3 quarts of water in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
|
4. Boil briskly for 2 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, and let the beans soak for 1 hour. Pou~ off the soaking water and set the beans aside.
|
5. In a heavy 6- to 8-quart casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Add the onions, carrots, celery, leeks and cabbage.
|
6. Stir well, cover the casserole, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft but not brown.
|
7. Add the tripe, beans, tomatoes, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and chicken stock and, stirring frequently, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer partially covered for 1 hour.
|
8. Then stir in the spinach, potatoes and tomato paste, and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes longer, or until the beans and potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
|
|
9. Taste for seasoning and serve at once from a heated tureen or soup plates.
