Caen-style tripe

Ingredients

  • 1 kg tripe
  • 1 calf's trotter
  • 45 ml (3 tablespoons) vinegar
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 60 ml (4 tbsp.) canola oil
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp.) tomato paste
  • 1 clove
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 sprigs parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1.5 l (6 cups) dry cider
  • 150 ml (10 tbsp.) Calvados
  • Cayenne pepper, to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Clean, rinse and scald, then scrape off the calf's trotters and remove the inner membrane from the tripe.
  2. In a bowl of cold water, add the vinegar and leave the tripe and calf's trotters to drain for 3 to 4 hours.
  3. In a saucepan of boiling, salted water, precook the tripe and foot for around 20 minutes.
  4. Cut the tripe into equal-sized strips for even cooking. Cut the veal foot in half.
  5. In a hot pressure cooker, sauté the onion and carrot in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Add the tomato paste and stir.
  7. Deglaze with cider and add the tripe, calf's trotters, garlic, cloves, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, calvados, salt, pepper and chilli to taste, cover with 3/4 water, lock the lid and leave to cook. When the valve whistles, turn down the heat and cook for about 1 hour, depending on the size of the casserole. Check seasoning. Check for tenderness.
  8. Depending on the consistency of the sauce, simmer for a few minutes over medium-low heat, uncovered, to thicken.
  9. Before serving, remove the bones, thyme sprigs and cloves.
