- 10 lb beef or calves' feet, cut in 3" pieces
- 10 lb honeycomb tripe, cut in large bite size rectangles
- water
- 1 qt chopped onion
- 1/2 C minced garlic
- 10 bay leaves
- 3 lb pork sausage meat, browned in olive oil
- 2 oz good quality Spanish paprika
- 1/2 TB ground saffron
- 2 qt very ripe of canned tomato pulp and juice
- 1 TB ground black pepper
- 2 TB salt
- minced flat leaf parsley
Rinse feet in running water, put in a pot in cold water to cover,
heat and simmer 2 hours, skim occasionally.
With thongs or slotted spoon, remove feet from liquid, add tripe
and simmer about 1 1/2 hrs, skim.
While tripe is simmering remove foot meat from bones and cut
into small bite size pieces. Discard bones.
After tripe has simmered for 1 1/2 hrs., add foot meat and rest
of ingredients minus the parsley, cook 2 1/2 hrs. longer.
Check seasoning.
Pour all into hotel pan and chill; it will become solid. Cut
into portions, wrap each one in plastic film and foil and freeze
individually.
TO SERVE: If frozen, allow to soften for two-three hours in a
cool place. Put in heating pan, add 1 oz brandy per portion, heat
slowly and allow to simmer long enough for alcohol to evaporate
- you should not taste raw liquor. Sprinkle liberally with minced
parsley - this is not for looks; the parsley flavor is part of
this dish.
