Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoons fresh oregano
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cut into 4 equal pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
  • 1/2 a chipotle pepper, pureed
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, season with salt and pepper and add the oregano. In a nonstick pan, cook 1 tablespoon of the butter until it foams and subsides. Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan and cook until it has solidified and is easily slid from the pan, about 2 minutes. Repeat this procedure 3 times with the remaining butter and egg mixture, setting each omelet aside to cool.

When the omelets are cool, cut each into 1/4-inch thick strips.

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and the chilis and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add the egg strips and simmer for 10 minutes. Top with the grated Pecorino and serve.

Basic Tomato Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Spanish onion, chopped in 1/4 inch dice
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried
  • 1/2 medium carrot, finely shredded
  • 2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, crushed by hand and juices reserved
  • Salt

In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot, and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and serve. This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.

    This is a delicious dish! I followed the recipe exactly, and the faint kick of pepper at the end of each bite complemented the fluffy, slightly buttery "tripe" beautifully. Served with green beans on the side and made it a meal. Everyone went back for seconds, some for thirds! This is a must try. Thank you, Mario!

    Not that I have a clue what tripe tastes like, but I just thought this was a great way to cook eggs. I really enjoyed this recipe, and will make it again.
