Tripe Preparation

If you can, try to use honeycomb tripe, it happens to be the most tender of the tripe varieties.

Clean the tripe as soon as possible, if it has not come already cleaned, because it spoils very quickly and will be inedible.

Start a day in advance of when you're using it for your recipe.

Dissolve 1 cup kosher salt in 1 cup of inexpensive vinegar. Pour about one-third of the mixture into a large bowl and add the tripe.

Scrub the tripe in the solution, vigorously with a brush for about 5 minutes. Rinse the tripe under cold running water and repeat the process two more times.

Transfer the tripe to a bowl and cover it with cold water. Chill in the refrigerator, covered, at least 8 hours, or 16 hours if possible.

Change the cold water once about halfway through the chilling time.

Now your tripe is ready for your recipe.
