    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly clean the tripe and cut it into thin strips. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and parboil the tripe for 20 minutes. Rinse with cold water.

    2

    Finely chop the onions and garlic. Slice the carrots and parsley root into thin rounds.

    3

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the Hungarian sweet paprika and ground caraway seeds, and stir well to combine.

    4

    Add the tripe, vegetables, and bay leaves. Pour in the water or broth, season with salt and pepper, and simmer over medium heat for 1.5-2 hours, or until the tripe is completely tender.

    5

    Towards the end of the cooking time, pour in the red wine and cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    6

    Serve the Pacal with fresh bread or boiled potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
