Welcome and introduce the recipe for mondonguito a la italiana.

Start with pre-washed beef tripe, cut it into pieces for cooking.

Prepare to blanch the tripe by boiling water, ensuring it covers the tripe completely.

Add aromatic herbs (parsley and green onion) and a pinch of salt to the boiling water with the tripe.

Cover and blanch the tripe for 15 to 20 minutes until tender, checking for doneness by pressing a piece with a fingernail.

Once cooked, cut the tripe into strips and reserve.

Prepare the vegetables: cut half an onion and yellow chili pepper into strips for later use.

In a skillet, sauté the onion and yellow chili pepper in olive oil until slightly softened, then reserve.

In another pan, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until golden.

Add diced onion to the garlic and cook until the onion is golden as well.

Stir in cumin and mix well, then add 2-4 tablespoons of yellow chili paste and combine.

Add bay leaves and cook for about 3 minutes to blend the flavors.

Pour in the broth from blanching the tripe, adjusting salt to taste.

Add the blanched tripe, peas, and carrots to the mixture and stir.

Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Remove bay leaves and add oregano and parsley for flavor.

Prepare to fry the black potatoes in a separate pan, using about 3 potatoes, adjusting quantity as desired.

Fry the potatoes until golden brown, flipping to cook evenly.

Serve the fried potatoes separately, topped with the mondonguito mixture.
