Algerian Spicy Tripe

December 22, 2005 | Filed Under Soup/Chowder/Gumbo, African Cuisine 

There are many foods I never cared for until I started cooking. Soups are one of them. Now, I enjoy the different soups that I make (like the one here). My latest soup comes from a recipe of Chef Farid — Algerian Spicy Tripe.The ingredients were easy to obtain and prepare — tripe, tomatoes, onions, hot green chilies, garlic, caraway seeds, paprika, spice blend, salt and pepper. For my spice blend, I put together 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp coriander. It wasn’t bad at all. The tripe turned out soft and almost buttery tasting. I added chick peas to the soup and when it was ready, topped it off with cilantro. What a good soup to have on a cold day.

Sauteed onions with the rest of the vegetables Ingredients covered with water and seasoned with salt and pepper Boiled tripe You can find the recipe for this body warming soup here. Best, Paz
