preparation:
To start making this Venezuelan Creole tripe, the first step we have to do is wash the cattle belly to remove the smell with enough lemon and then put it to parboil until it softens by changing the water in the middle of cooking the night before of the preparation of the mondongo recipe. Then keep the boiled belly well covered in the pot until the next day.
Then in the morning we began the preparation of the Venezuelan tripe: cooking in the pot of mondongo soup the leg and the tail of cattle (previously well washed) until they are soft, pouring water from the one we have when the belly was softened.
When the leg and tail are medium soft place the hard vegetable (which takes longer to cook) and the jojotos and continue cooking. Then when it is almost ready to soften what we have in that pot, throw the soft vegetables along with the other ingredients, and the cilantro we throw it when it is about to finish cooking the Venezuelan tripe.
For the Venezuelan Creole tripe to be tastier and thicker it is not necessary to serve it immediately after it has been cooked, but it is better to keep it until the next day and serve it in totumas
