About Callos a la madrileña
Callos a la madrileña is a substantial Madrid tripe stew. Clara Pérez Villalón’s household version, influenced by chef Alex Marugán, combines veal tripe, muzzle and foot with pork trotters, ham, tocino and sausages.
Sweet and hot paprika, choricero pepper, wine and mixed spices give the sauce depth and heat. Onion, tomato and peppers add sweetness around the savoury meats.
Tender offal and sausage sit in a thick, gelatinous sauce. The large pieces and rich coating give the stew its characteristic substantial, sticky texture.
