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.
