Cazuela de mondongo is the home-kitchen cousin of buseca: a generous tripe stew built on humble vegetables and slow time, the kind of pot that simmers on Uruguayan stoves on cold weekends. It is less refined than its Italian-descended relatives and more rustic — thick, warming, and packed with flavor.
The rustic tripe stew of Uruguayan home kitchens
After hours of gentle simmering, the tripe becomes silky and tender, while the sweet potato, squash, and corn melt into the tomato-paprika broth, making it thick and gently sweet. Every spoonful is a warm, savory hug with just a hint of smoky paprika.
