PRESENTATION

Good Italian cuisine boasts many traditional dishes that are recognized and appreciated indiscriminately from north to south; as often happens, versions differ depending on the region. Roman-style tripe is a very appropriate example, as it is typical of Lazio, which contrasts with other already well-known versions, such as Florentine tripe, Neapolitan tripe, Bolognese tripe, and the famous Milanese tripe (busecca). As for many other traditional recipes from Lazio, Roman-style tripe has rich flavors and intense aromas, such as that of guanciale and mint, which is then enhanced with abundant grated pecorino romano cheese.

Interesting fact

It is very high in cholesterol. There are two schools of thought for the preparation of Roman-style tripe, where mint and pecorino cheese are added at the beginning of cooking, but we were inspired by the second school, adding these ingredients at the end
