Ingredients

• 2 ounces dried chickpeas
• 3/4 pound boneless pork, cut into small dice
• One 4x8-inch piece of tripe cut into 3/4-inch by 2-inch strips
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 pound onions, peeled and minced
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 28-ounce can of tomatoes with liquid, crushing the tomatoes by hand
• 1 teaspoon hot Spanish paprika
• 1/2 pound whole chorizo

Instructions

1. Soak the dried chickpeas overnight. Salt and pepper the tripe and pork and toss them with the flour. Heat the olive oil in a stewpot. Add tripe and pork. Cook until meats are lightly browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the onions, garlic, white wine. Scrape up the browned bits, then add the can of tomatoes with liquid, crushing the tomatoes by hand, the hot Spanish paprika, and the drained chick-peas. Stir to combine. Simmer over low heat for 4 1/2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure meats are submerged in liquid, adding more liquid if necessary.
3. After 4 1/2 hours add 1/2 pound whole chorizo and cook 1/2 hour more. Remove the chorizo and slice it. Return it to the pot and serve.
