Buseca
Argentine tripe-and-white-bean stew with chorizo and smoked pancetta.

About Buseca
Paulina Cocina’s buseca criolla is the Argentine style of tripe-and-bean stew. This version combines beef tripe, white beans, chorizo colorado and smoked pancetta with vegetables, wine and aromatic seasonings.
Chorizo and pancetta bring smoky savouriness, while onion, garlic, carrot, bay and sweet paprika flavour the surrounding liquid. White wine and tomato paste provide further depth; optional parsley and grated cheese finish the plate.
The stew has tender tripe and beans that retain their structure in a substantial sauce. Chickpeas and diced potatoes remain optional additions, with bread suggested alongside for the sauce.
