New Zealand Ox Tripe

• Recipe: Filipino Kare Kare (Oxtails With Tripe)

Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 3 pounds oxtails (cleaned and patted dry)
• 2 pounds blanched beef tripe (rinsed)
• 1 yellow onion (peeled and sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (peeled and crushed)
• 1 tomato (chopped)
• 1 1/4 cups beef stock (homemade or use canned)
• 1 1/4 cups water
• Salt (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons annatto oil
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1/2 cup water (hot)
• Several shots of Tabasco (or more, to taste)

Directions:
1. Heat a large skillet and add 3 tablespoons of the peanut oil. Brown the oxtails well on both sides in 2 or 3 batches.
2. Place them in a 6-quart heavy-bottomed stovetop covered casserole or Dutch oven.
3. While the oxtails are browning, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and blanch the tripe. Start by boiling it for a few minutes.
4. Drain and cool.
5. Cut the tripe into strips 1/2-inch wide and 3 inches long. Add these to the oxtail pot.
6. Add the remaining peanut oil to the skillet the oxtails were browned in and sauté the onion and garlic.
7. Add to the oxtail pot along with the tomato, beef stock, water, salt, and annatto oil.
8. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer slowly for 1 1/2 hours.
9. Simmer partially covered for another 1 1/2 hours, stirring now and then.
10. While this is simmering, mix together the peanut butter and hot water in a small bowl.
11. At the beginning of the last hour of cooking, add the peanut butter-water mixture and Tabasco. Taste and add more Tabasco and salt if needed. If all is not very tender, continue to cook a bit longer.
12. Serve with rice and enjoy!
