PREPARATION:

1. Cumin makes a difference compared to the original Portuguese tripe recipe, but it can be optional, since it is not part of the Brazilian tradition.
2. Start by cleaning and blanching the tripe (see preparation).
3. Set aside the other ingredients and utensils for the recipe.
4. Wash and peel the onion and garlic and chop them.
5. Wash the pepper, remove the seeds and chop it.
6. Cut the sausage and bacon into pieces of about 50 g each.

PREPARATION:

Dobradinha – Clean and blanch (do this step before continuing pre-preparation):

1. Wash the lemon and cut it in half.
2. Clean the tripe well, removing all the fat and sebum.
3. Rub it with the lemon and a little salt, squeezing it to remove the juice: this step is important to reduce the strong smell of the tripe.
4. Wash under running water.
5. Place the tripe in the pressure cooker, cover it with cold water and, without the lid, heat it over high heat until it boils.
6. Turn off the heat, remove the water, place it on a cutting board and let it cool.
7. Continue pre-preparation (step 3).

Tripe – Cooking:

1. Put a kettle on the stove with water to boil.
2. Cut the tripe into strips (the width of the strips should be whatever you prefer).
3. Heat pressure cooker over medium/high heat and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Add the onion and a little salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it starts to change colour.
5. Add the garlic and bay leaves and continue to saute for another 2 minutes.
6. Add the tripe, sausage and bacon and sauté until the onion is golden.
7. Season with salt, pepper, cumin (optional) and tomato paste and mix well.
8. Add boiling water – 2 fingers above.
9. Cover the pan, raise the heat to high and when it starts to whistle, lower the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes.

Parsley:

1. While the meat cooks, wash and dry the parsley.
2. Chop and reserve on absorbent paper.

Tripe:

1. Turn off the heat, remove the pressure and open the pan.
2. Remove the sausage and bacon and check the cooking of the tripe.
3. Cover the pan again – add more boiling water if necessary – return to medium heat and cook for a further 15 minutes or so, when the pressure has reached the limit, or until the tripe is tender.
4. On a cutting board, cut the sausage into thin slices and the bacon into medium cubes.
5. When the tripe is cooked, remove the pressure and open the pan.
6. Add the sausage slices and bacon cubes, if necessary add a little more boiling water and mix.
7. Check the seasonings: salt, pepper and cumin (optional).
8. Continue cooking for a few more minutes to blend the flavors.
9. Remove the bay leaf and add the parsley, mix and turn off the heat.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Serve double on a serving plate or, if you prefer, distribute among the plates.
