2 pounds honeycomb tripe
1 1½-pound veal knuckle
6 cups water
3 medium onions, chopped (1½ cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 15-ounce can hominy
Pequin chilies or crushed red pepper
Lime wedges
Cut tripe into 1-inch pieces. Place in a Dutch oven with veal knuckle, water, onions, garlic, salt, coriander, oregano, the 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and pepper. Simmer, covered, for 3 hours till tripe has a clear, jellylike appearance and veal is very tender.
Remove veal knuckle from pot. When cool enough to handle, discard bones, chop meat and return to soup. Add undrained hominy; cover and simmer 20 minutes longer. Serve with pequin chilies or crushed red pepper to taste. Garnish with lime wedges. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
