Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lamb tripe — Ensure that the tripe is thoroughly cleaned before using it in the recipe. Soaking it in cold water with a splash of vinegar for a few hours can help remove any residual odor. Additionally, simmering the tripe for a longer time will result in a more tender texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the soup.
- Serve the Patsas soup with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to the soup and simmer for a few more minutes.
- Leftover Patsas soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
- Feel free to customize the soup by adding vegetables such as carrots or celery for extra flavor and nutrition.
Serving advice
Serve the Greek Patsas soup hot in individual bowls. Accompany it with lemon wedges for squeezing over the soup, which adds a refreshing tanginess to balance the richness of the broth. Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Presentation advice
Present the Patsas soup in rustic-style bowls, showcasing the rich and aromatic broth. Place a lemon wedge on the side of each bowl and sprinkle fresh parsley over the soup for an appealing visual contrast. Serve with a side of crusty bread to complete the presentation.
