Ingredients:
3 pounds homeycomb tripe
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet red pepper, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup dry Madeira
3 cups beef broth
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
18 small pitted black olives
Procedure:
