Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Tripe — Make sure to thoroughly clean the tripe before cooking by rinsing it under cold water and removing any excess fat or membranes.
  • Pimentón — Use smoked paprika for an authentic Extremaduran flavor. Adjust the amount according to your preference for smokiness.
  • Saffron — To enhance the saffron's flavor, soak the threads in a tablespoon of warm water for a few minutes before adding them to the stew.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the stew during the cooking process.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of flour with a little water and add it to the stew. Cook for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious the next day.

Serving advice

Serve Trippa alla Extremaduran with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. It pairs well with a fresh green salad on the side to balance the richness of the stew.

Presentation advice

Garnish the Trippa alla Extremaduran with a sprinkle of fresh parsley to add a pop of color. Serve it in a rustic clay pot or a deep bowl to showcase the hearty nature of the dish.
