How to Make Dulet (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

Preparation

  1. Wash the tripe with cold water and drain it in a sieve.
  2. Cut the tripe into small pieces.
  3. Remove any filament from the liver and cut the meat into small pieces of a similar size to the tripe.
  4. In a bowl, mix the tripe, liver, Mitmita, and salt. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. Place a frying pan on high heat.
  2. Add the clarified butter and let it bubble.
  3. Immediately add the cut meat mixture to the pan.
  4. Stir constantly for no longer than a minute to keep the meat rare (avoid overcooking the liver to prevent it from becoming dry).
