 Categories: None
      Yield: 8 Servings

      3 lb Tripe (3 to 4 lbs)
      1    Piece honeycomb; be sure to
           -include
      6    Garlic cloves; bruised but

  Rinse tripe under cold running water and cut large pieces into 1inch
  squares. Place the garlic, peppercorns, thyme, and bay leaves into a square

  and salt. Bring to a boil and skim foam if necessary. Reduce the heat and
  cook at a simmer for 2 to 3 hours or until tripe is tender. Add the canned
  hominy, liquid and all. Cook 15 minutes longer. About 10 minutes before
  serving, add the cilantro, green onions, and tomatillos. Remove the bouquet
  garni. Garnishes may include mild red chile sauce, ground chile powder,
  oregano leaves, chopped onions, or lime wedges, or sliced radishes.
