Add enough water to cover the tripe and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until tender, adding more water as needed.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add sliced Chorizo de Bilbao and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Stir in red bell pepper, Spanish paprika, and dried herbs, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Combine the sausage mixture with the tripe in the large pot.

Add cooked garbanzos, beef stock, and season with salt and whole peppercorns, then simmer for 30-40 minutes.

Adjust seasoning to taste, adding vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce as needed, and serve hot.
