Description
Callos a la Madrileña is a traditional Spanish dish made with beef tripe, chorizo, and morcilla, simmered in a rich and flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef tripe, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound beef shank, cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 cup chickpeas, cooked or canned, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 pound chorizo, sliced
- 1/2 pound morcilla (blood sausage), sliced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the beef tripe, beef shank, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and enough water to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the tripe is tender. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Once the tripe is tender, remove the bay leaf and onion. Add the smoked paprika, sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, diced tomatoes, and chickpeas to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and morcilla, cooking until browned and slightly crispy.
- Transfer the cooked chorizo and morcilla to the pot with the tripe mixture. Stir to combine and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Simmer the mixture for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add more cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño.
- Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a heartier meal.
