Instructions
 
  • Thoroughly wash the honeycomb tripe under cold water and remove any excess fat.

    Add Hawaiian salt, bring to a boil, and then lower the heat.
    Simmer for 2-3 hours or until the tripe is tender.
  • In a sauté pan on medium heat, add the vegetable oil and sauté onions, celery, carrots, and minced garlic until they are softened and slightly golden brown.
    Drain the cooked tripe and add it to the sauté pan with the vegetables.
    Stir in the tomato sauce, diced green bell pepper, fresh ginger, and black pepper.
    You may also add fresh tomatoes if you prefer a more tomato-rich stew.
  • Pour 2-3 cups of water into the pan and adjust the consistency according to your preference.
    Add the bay leaves and more Hawaiian salt if needed.
    Let the stew simmer on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Once the Hawaiian Tripe Stew has achieved a rich flavor, serve it hot, garnished with fresh ingredients if desired.
    Enjoy this delicious recipe on special occasions or when the craving for a hearty, flavorful meal strikes.
