Trotters, tripe & sugar bean curry

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

"There is a takeaway curry shop in Claremont, Cape Town that sells trotters and tripe curry only on Thursdays but sometimes a girl needs tripe on other days too. Here is an easy way to get your fix whenever the craving hits, without the hassle of cooking the tripe!" - Marisa Munroe, Woolworths product developer

Ingredients

500 g lamb trotters, washed
300 g sugar beans, drained
salt, to taste
canola oil, for frying
1 t cumin seeds
1 cinnamon stick
5 bay leaves
1 star anise
3 green chillies, chopped
10 curry leaves
2 large onions, diced
2 t fresh ginger, crushed
2 t fresh garlic, minced
1 t ground coriander, toasted
2 T Woolworths meat masala
2 t ground turmeric
½ t garam masala (optional)
1½ T chilli powder
2 cloves
3 cardamom pods
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 kg Woolworths slow cooked ox tripe
fresh coriander, to garnish
basmati rice, for serving

Cooking Instructions

1. In a saucepan, bring the trotters to the boil and cook for 1½ hours, covered, or use a pressure cooker to speed up the process.

2. At the same time, boil the sugar beans with a little salt until soft in a separate pot.

3. Once the trotters are cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. Reserve the broth.

4. Heat oil in a deep, heavy-based saucepan, and add cumin seeds, cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, 2 chillies, curry leaves and onions.

5. Once the onion is translucent, add the ginger and garlic and fry until golden. Add in ground coriander, meat masala, turmeric, garam masala, chilli powder, cloves, and cardamom. Fry for a minute, then reduce the heat and add the tomatoes.

6. Cover and simmer over a low heat until the tomatoes have broken down. Add the trotters and season. Leave to simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the tripe.

7. Add 1 cup trotter broth, and the cooked beans. Stir everything together and top with ½ of broth. Braise for 20–30 minutes or transfer to the oven at 180°C and cook for about 20–30 minutes, or until the sugar beans have absorbed the gravy.

8. Once the gravy has thickened, turn off the stove or oven and garnish with fresh coriander. Serve immediately with cooked basmati rice.
