Madrid-Style Callos

Main Course
1 hour
6 Servings

Ingredients

1 kilogram of Beef tripe

100 grams of Asturian chorizo

100 grams of Blood sausage with onions

150 grams of Pork belly

Callos spices

2 Garlic cloves

1 Chili pepper

50 milliliters of Tomato sauce

1 Bay leaf

1 pinch of Salt

Preparation

Step 1 : The beef tripe should be carefully cleaned and cut into approximately 2x2 centimeter pieces, making it easier to cook and eat later.

Step 2 : Then, place the pieces in a pot with the bay leaf, salt, and preferred spices, and cook for about four hours in a traditional pot or around 45 minutes in a pressure cooker, ensuring they are tender and have their characteristic gelatinous broth.

Step 3 : Meanwhile, the chorizo and blood sausage are semi-cooked in a separate pan to prevent bursting during cooking, allowing them to absorb flavors in the final minutes.

Step 4 : In another pan, sauté chopped garlic and onion together with a chili pepper, adding a spicy touch to the dish.

Step 5 : When the onion becomes translucent, add the tomato sauce and mix well.

Step 6 : Next, add the cooked tripe along with chopped sausages to the sauce, gradually incorporating the cooking broth from the tripe.

Step 7 : Allow everything to simmer and blend for about 20 minutes, so the flavors meld and the sauce becomes creamy and flavorful.
