  1. May I suggest/contribute "BEEF TRIPE Kinilaw" bro.? Here's my "winning" recipe:Please advise me of what else is missing, etc.>COLD TRIPE KINILAW

    (Insalata di Trippa)

    SERVES 4

    The kind of tripe most common in American markets is honey-comb. I use the "blanket"type (also called "plain") tripe, the thickest and firmest variety, boiled (3 to 3 1/2 hours), until it becomes fork tender.

    2 lbs. blanched veal blanket tripe(or Beef Tripe)
    1 tsp. Sea Salt
    1 small red onion, peeled,sliced and/or finely chopped
    1 small white onion, peeled, sliced and/or finely chopped
    1 medium ripe tomato, sliced and/or chopped
    6 ripe cherry tomatoes, halved and/or quartered
    1⁄2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, chopped
    1⁄2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
    1⁄3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    3 tbsp. fresh lemon,lime juice(or kalamansi juice)
    Freshly ground black pepper
    s for Presentations:
    1/3 cup Celery Leaves
    2 stalk green onions,chopped.
    1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped,
    1 - 2 Jalapeno Pepper, sliced.
    1. Put the tripe into a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a boil. Cover pot and continue to boil the tripe, adding water to pot as necessary, until it is very tender, 3–3 1⁄2 hours. Remove the tripe from the pot, discarding the cooking liquid. Lay the tripe out in a single layer on a sheet tray to let cool.(For quick boiling, follow my PRESSURE COOKING for tripes: let it boil/ring for no more than 5 minutes, turn off heat.Let stand for 15 until pressure is released. Rinsed in cold running water.Slice when cool to touch.)
    the tripe is cool enough to handle, cut it 1/2" x 2" or into 1" × 2" strips and transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients/and/or other OPTIONAL you like to add/ adjust E.V.O.O.,lemon juice,salt, pepper according to taste. Toss well to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, about 1 1⁄2 hours.

    3. To serve, adjust seasonings, then spoon tripe salad into a large serving bowl. Serve with sliced crusty bread and red wine,

    ***add/include SOME/or more of the following: OPTIONAL/s:
    (1) Pre-cooked/Boiled/Broiled Octopus/Baby Squids(rinsed clear), Sliced 1/4" rings and membranes removed.
