How to make Buseca

  1. Step 1

    Wash the tripe thoroughly and boil it in water with salt until tender. Remove the tripe from the water and cut it into medium-sized strips.

  2. Step 2

    In a clay pot or a large saucepan, heat a bit of oil and sauté the onion, garlic, and chopped red bell pepper. Once the onion turns translucent, add the carrot and tomatoes. Stir and cook everything for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the tripe to the mixture, along with the bay leaf. Season with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika.

  4. Step 4

    Cover the mixture with boiling beef broth and cook for about 10 minutes. Then, add the diced potatoes and continue cooking for another 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Keep the pot covered and cook over medium heat.

  5. Step 5

    Finally, add the chickpeas and beans, and cook for 5 more minutes.
