TRIPPA ALLA ROMANA (BRAISED TRIPE WITH TOMATO, HERBS, AND PARMESAN) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine tripe and vinegar. Add enough water to cover tripe by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until tripe is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add more water as needed to keep tripe submerged. Drain tripe, reserving cooking liquid, and allow to cool. Slice tripe into 1-inch strips.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Add tomatoes and stir to combine. Add tripe along with about 1/2 cup of the tripe cooking liquid. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until sauce is lightly reduced and flavors marry, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir half of herbs into sauce.
• When ready to serve, divide tripe evenly among 4 to 6 warmed bowls and top with grated cheese and remaining herbs.
