Tripe White Bean And Vegetable Soup Busecca Recipes

Steps:

• Place the dry beans in a pot, cover with 3" of cold water, and let them soak overnight.
• The next morning drain the beans in a colander and rinse very well with cold water. Return the beans to the pot, add just enough water to cover them, and bring the water to a boil. After a couple of minutes, remove the pot from the heat, drain the water again and rinse the beans again. (This step is important, not only you are getting rid of the impurities and the residue of the beans, but your beans will be easier to digest and more gentle on your stomach!)
• Return the rinsed beans to the pot along with 6 cups of cold water and the olive oil. Bring to a boil, reduce to a medium simmer, and partially cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes.
• While the beans cook start prepping the vegetables. Once prepared add the leeks, shallot, kale, carrots, celery and garlic to the pot. Next add the bay leaves, oregano, rosemary, and ground pepper. Finally, if you have it, add the Parmesan rind (it adds lots of flavor to soups and stews as it slowly melds with the broth). Cook the soup for another 30 minutes, or, until beans are almost cooked.
• Stir the potatoes and the tomato into the soup. Simmer for another 15 minutes or so, until the potatoes are tender. Lastly, stir in the soup the salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Let the soup cool down slightly, then serve with a generous drizzle of olive oil and a good sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse the tripe under cold running water. Fill a large bowl with 6 cups ice water and add 2 tablespoons of the vinegar. Place the tripe in the bowl and soak for 30 minutes. Remove from the water, pat dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.
• In a large stockpot, combine the tripe, 5 bay leaves, pepper flakes, thyme, oregano, 1 gallon (16 cups) water and the remaining 1 cup vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook at a full boil for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let cool. Drain the tripe, rinse in cold water and reserve.
• In another large stockpot over high heat, combine the oil, onions, tomatoes, garlic, parsley and remaining 2 bay leaves. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add the stock, reserved tripe, garbanzo beans, white navy beans and turnips, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
• Add the carrots, cabbage and rice. Recover and simmer for another hour. Add the chorizo, morcilla, cheese and basil. Stir and simmer 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Place tripe in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover it by at least 2 inches.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer partially covered for 1 1/2 hours. Drain the tripe in a sieve and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine the beans and 3 qts. of water in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Boil briskly for 2 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, and let the beans soak for 1 hour. Pour off the soaking water and set the beans aside.
• In a heavy 6-8 quart casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Add the onions, carrots, celery, leeks, and cabbage.
• Stir well, cover the casserole, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft but not brown.
• Add the tripe, beans, tomatoes, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and chicken stock and, stirring frequently, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer partially covered for 1 hour.
• Then stir in the spinach, potatoes and tomato paste, and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes longer, or until the beans and potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
• Taste for seasoning and serve at once from a heated tureen or soup plates.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute the zucchini, onion, celery and carrot in oil for 5-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
