Portuguese dobradinha with garlic

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Tripe is a divisive food, but the Portuguese 'dobradinha' is capable of converting anyone. Unlike the Hungarian paprika version, garlic and white beans dominate here (although this recipe focuses purely on the meat). The secret lies in thorough cleaning and slow cooking, which transforms chewy tripe into something butter-soft. This garlic version is a refined, rustic dish where the natural texture of the tripe and the aroma of roasted garlic prevail.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large saucepan or pressure cooker
  • Sharp knife
  • Chopping board

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the tripe thoroughly and cut into thin strips. If you bought raw tripe (not pre-cooked), put it on to boil in water, bring to a boil, then after 10 minutes drain the water.

Tip: This 'pre-blanching' removes the overly strong, characteristic odours.
2 ✓

Cut the garlic into thin slices or crush it. Heat the oil in a saucepan and toss in the garlic. Fry until pale golden.

Tip: Garlic flavour dissolves best in oil, but be careful, if it burns it will be bitter.
3 ✓

Add the tripe to the garlic oil and toss to brown slightly.

Tip: Frying seals the fibres and adds extra flavour.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with the paprika, salt and pepper. Stir, then pour over the water (just enough to cover).

Tip: Do not fry the paprika dry for long, as it can turn bitter.
5 ✓

Cook under a lid over low heat for approx 45-60 minutes, until the tripe is completely soft and the sauce has thickened.

Tip: The collagen content of the tripe gelatinises during cooking, naturally thickening the sauce.
6 ✓

If the water boils away, replace it little by little. When ready, sprinkle with fresh, chopped parsley and serve.

Tip: The freshness of parsley 'lightens' the richer dish.

Recipe FAQ

How do I get rid of the tripe smell?
Soak in lemon or vinegar water before cooking, and always discard the first cooking water!
Can I use a pressure cooker?
Yes! In a pressure cooker, the cooking time is reduced to a third (approx. 20-30 minutes).
