Callos
Ingredients
For the Callos:
- Olive oil, for sautéing
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cup white onion
- 2 pcs. Spanish sausage
- 250 g. smoked bacon
- 750 g. ox tail, boiled
- 750 g. ox tripe, boiled
- 3 Tbsps. paprika
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1 cup white wine
For the Broth:
- 4 cups beef stock
- ½ cup tomato, crushed
- Salt, to taste
For Added Flavor:
- 1 pc. red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup green olives
- 1 cup garbanzos
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the Spanish sausages and smoked bacon.
- Boil the ox tail and ox tripe beforehand. Make sure it becomes tender before turning off the heat. The water where it was cooked will become the stock. The secret to a thick and collagen-filled beef broth is the knee of the cow.
- Pour the olive oil in the pot. Add the garlic before the oil becomes hot. Sauté.
- When the oil starts to sizzle around the garlic, sauté the onions. Add the spanish sausages and smoked bacon. Toss, then add the ox tripe and ox tail. Season with paprika and oregano. Mix.
- Pour in the white wine. If you don’t have white wine, you don’t need to add it in. Cook off the alcoholic flavor, then add the beef stock.
- Add half of the canned tomato. Season with salt. Cover and leave it to simmer.
- Once it starts boiling, remove the cover and continue to let it cook, so it reduces a bit.
- Seed and dice the bell peppers. Add it to the Callos. Toss in the green olives and garbanzos or chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper. Mix, then let it simmer.
Pair it with rice and let the broth seep into each grain or pair it with bread and soak in all the flavors of the broth in once slice. Either way, your taste buds will be coated in the exquisite flavors that have been cooking altogether.
