Tripe Soup (Soupa de Mondongo)

Tripe Soup (Soupa de Mondongo)
Tripe Soup (Soupa de Mondongo)
This is a Traditional Central American soup of Honduras. Although tripe might be difficult to cook due to sanitation (must be cleaned well), taste/ flavor(rough taste, sour flavor if not cooked properly), long cooking time, etc. I believe if cooked the correct way this dish brings the true goodness of the tripe. Just Like Chicken! This recipe is a perfect example on how something like tripe (stomach lining) can be changed and made tasty. Side note: Although I might post the recipe in cooking “cuts”; rough chops is the traditional way.
