With 20 years of experience, Woolworths senior product developer, Sharon Mbonambi is no stranger to the kitchen. For her, tripe invokes memories of her dad while she was growing up in Durban. She remembers how it was a well-loved dish by all the children she used to play with in her street. The smell of the tripe cooking would get them excited about dinner and once that happened, playtime was officially over. While ox tripe is traditionally cooked with salt, pepper, and onions, Sharon puts a twist on her recipe. She adds a spoonful of apricot jam at the end of the to give it a sweet-savoury flavour. Whenever she's feeling nostalgic or wants to relive memories she has of her father, she always cooks a pot of tripe to take her right back to those moments.
