Ingredients

1 lb tripe cleaned and boiled
2 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
3/4 c crushed tomato or diced with juice
1 onion 1/2 diced, 1/2 sliced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tsp minced garlic

Instructions

Cleaning tripe you will want to rinse with cold water to remove any loose debris or dirt. Use a sharp knife to remove any excess fat, gristle, or membranes from the surface. Cut into smaller pieces, if desired.
Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the honeycomb. Add a few bay leaves, garlic cloves, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the water to a boil tripe. Let it cook for 1-2 hours depending on how tender you want it to become. Drain the water and rinse again with cold water.
Boiling Tripe on Stove you can slice into thin strips like noodles for a quicker cook time and boil in salted water for 30 minutes until tender to your liking. The larger the pieces are the longer they will take to soften.
Slow cooking Tripe When cooking tripe in a slow cooker, it can take anywhere from 6-8 hours on low heat until tender to your liking. Submerge in liquid with seasonings of choice. Using a Crockpot helps break down the tough fibers and infuse with flavors from the other ingredients in the dish. Then follow sauteeing steps.
Pressure cooking Tripe Using a pressure cooker can significantly reduce the cooking time. Cook in a pressure cooker with 2 cups broth for around 45 minutes or so, depending on the specific recipe, under high pressure with a quick release. Then follow sauteeing steps.
Sauteeing tripe - After boiling, slow cooking or pressure cooking to tender, pat outsides dry with paper towels and fry in a pan with a little bit of oil. Fry 5-6 minutes.
Add diced onions and minced garlic. Fry 2 minutes or so. Add the rest of the spices and crushed tomatoes. Cook for a couple of minutes until it reaches the texture you desire.
