Scrape the insides using a knife to remove any remaining grit until the tripe is whiter and completely clean. The tripe is now ready to be cut and cooked in whatever fashion you choose. The freshly boiled tripe can be served in a stew of sautéed onions, butter and milk to make traditional English tripe and onions. An Italian version of tripe includes baking the tripe with chopped herbs, olive oil, tomatoes and cheese. In Ethiopia, tripe is stuffed with chopped steak, bread crumbs, spices and topped with spiced butter.
