Tripe Soup(İşkembe Çorbası)
classicOther names: Tuzlama
A representative of the offal tradition associated with nighttime culture; it is consumed with garlic vinegar. The skill lies in the cleanliness of the tripe and the consistency of the marinade.
Cooking time varies depending on the animal; tenderness is more important than the clock. Garlic vinegar is served separately.

Shortcuts worth knowing
Pick the good one
In an egg-lemon soup the lemon goes in last. Boiled after that, the mixture splits and turns grainy.
Right time
Tripe and head soups belong to the morning counter; late in the day you get the reheated pot.
