Tripas à Moda do Porto is Porto’s storied stew — tripe and white beans simmered low and long with smoked meats, chouriço and garlic until everything turns meltingly tender. It is a dish of patience, tradition and fierce local pride.

Legend ties it to the Age of Discovery; what matters now is the table, where it is served steaming with rice and a bold red wine. The tripe, cooked past any chewiness, absorbs the smoky broth like nothing else.

Step by stepInstructions

Simmer the tripe in salted water until nearly tender, about 1 1/2 hours, then drain.
Meanwhile, simmer the soaked beans in fresh water until almost tender, about 1 hour.
Sauté the onion, garlic, bacon and chouriço in the olive oil and stir in the paprika.
Add the tripe, beans with their liquid, wine and bay leaves, adding water to cover; simmer 45-60 minutes until everything is tender and the broth is rich.
Season, rest 10 minutes, and serve with rice.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Ask your butcher for pre-cleaned, even pre-cooked, tripe to save hours. The stew is best a day after making, when the flavors deepen.
