Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Rinse the beef tripe thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the tripe is meticulously cleaned for the best flavor and texture.
- 2
If using fresh tripe, blanch it by placing it in a large pot of salted boiling water for 15 minutes.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Blanching helps to tenderize the tripe, remove any strong odors, and ensures a cleaner flavor profile.
- 3
Drain the blanched tripe and rinse it again thoroughly under cold water.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 4
Cut the cleaned tripe into uniform 1-2 inch pieces for even cooking.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Consistent sizing ensures all pieces become tender at the same rate.
- 5
Peel and roughly chop the yellow onions, carrots, and apple.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: Roughly chopping is sufficient as these vegetables will break down during the long cooking process, contributing to the sauce's body.
- 6
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Mincing the garlic allows its flavor to disperse evenly throughout the stew.
- 7
Place the cut tripe into a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or slow cooker.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: A heavy-bottomed pot ensures even heat distribution and prevents scorching during long cooking times.
- 8
Add the chopped yellow onions, carrots, apple, and minced garlic to the pot with the tripe.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 9
Pour in the hard cider, Calvados, and beef broth over the ingredients in the pot.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The combination of hard cider and Calvados provides a distinctive, authentic Norman flavor profile.
- 10
Add the bouquet garni, salt, and black pepper to the liquid.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The bouquet garni, typically parsley, thyme, and bay leaf, infuses the stew with subtle herbaceous notes.
- 11
If using a Dutch oven, bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the liquid is simmering gently, not aggressively boiling, before reducing heat.
- 12
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for at least 6 hours, or until the tripe is exceptionally tender.
Aproximativ 6 ore
Nota bucătarului: Check periodically to ensure the liquid level is adequate; add more beef broth or cider if it appears to be drying out.
- 13
If using a slow cooker, cook on the low setting for 8-10 hours or on the high setting for 4-6 hours, until the tripe is fork-tender.
Aproximativ 8 ore
Nota bucătarului: Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld beautifully and ensures the tripe becomes incredibly soft.
- 14
Once cooked, carefully remove the bouquet garni from the pot and discard it.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The bouquet garni has served its purpose of flavoring the stew and should be removed before serving.
- 15
Taste the tripes à la mode de Caen and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Seasoning at the end allows you to fine-tune the flavors after the long cooking process has concentrated them.
- 16
Serve the Tripes à la Mode de Caen hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Traditionally, this dish is served with boiled potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.

This robust dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with a vinaigrette to cut through its richness. For an authentic experience, serve with a glass of dry hard cider or a light-bodied red wine. While tripe can be an acquired taste, the long cooking process and aromatic ingredients transform it into a surprisingly tender and flavorful meal.
