Useful tips

In order for stomach dishes to be the most balanced in taste, nutrition and aroma, you must follow the rules:

• You should not fill the stomach cavity too much, since during boiling the walls of the rumen shrink, so the product may burst.
• The stomach must be properly prepared before use. It is important to thoroughly wash the offal from any remaining mucus and other contaminants so that the unpleasant odor does not spoil the dish. In addition, pathogenic bacteria can accumulate and multiply in contaminated areas of the rumen.
• When baking, the stomach must be watered with juice and fat, which is released during the cooking process, to make the dish juicier.

• Before putting the tripe in the oven, several punctures should be made on its surface so that the juice from the filling does not damage the integrity of the shell when leaking out.
• 10 minutes before the end of cooking the stomach in the oven, you can pour sour cream mixed with spices over the tripe to give the dish a golden brown crust.
• The saltison filling can be filled with all types of meat, lard cut into pieces, spices and vegetables.
