Ingredients

• 6 lbs beef tripe, fat trimmed and cubed
• 4 halved pig feet
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 2 Tbsp chili powder
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
• 4 whole bay leaves
• Salt to taste
• 2 10-oz cans white hominy, drained
• 3 chopped jalapeno peppers

Preparation

Step 1

Trim as much fat as possible from tripe. Wash thoroughly and cut into bite-size pieces. Soak in saltwater at least 6 hrs or overnight if possible.

Drain tripe and add to fresh boiling salted water. Add all ingredients except hominy. Bring back to boil, reduce heat and let simmer 3 – 5 hrs or until tender. Remove bay leaves. Add hominy and let simmer another 30 mins.

Serve with lemon wedges and additional chopped onion if desired. Leftovers freeze well.
