Blanket

Blanket tripe is the smooth, flat wall of the rumen—less textured than honeycomb, still requiring thorough cleaning and long simmering until tender. It absorbs broth flavours well and appears in many traditional tripe stews where a simpler surface is wanted. Blanch, scrape if needed, then braise for hours in aromatic liquid. Texture should be tender-chewy. Season boldly with chilli, tomato, or lemon-herb profiles.
