Directions

1

Place the tripe in a pot and cover with water.

Cut the tripe into small squares and put it in a pan with 3 1/2 cups water, the wine, tomatoes, pigs foot, parsley, peppercorns, cloves, nutmeg, bay leaves, thyme, salt, the coarsely chopped onion, and the garlic.

Cover and cook over a very low heat, or in a low oven (275F, but make sure it comes up to the boil before it goes in the oven), for 2 hours.

In a frying pan, heat the oil and fry the finely chopped onion until it is lightly colored.
6

Add the chorizo and ham and cook for 5 minutes.
7

Stir in the paprika, fry for a few moments, and then add the flour.
