Callos is an old Filipino favorite which is made with beef tripe stewed in tomato sauce. This recipe originated in Spain. Nowadays, it has become a favorite in Filipino kitchens. One of the main ingredients of this recipe is chick peas, often referred to as garbanzos. A less complicated way of cooking callos is combining canned pork and beans with boiled beef tripe. In this recipe, we make it the old-fashioned way.
The secret of making this dish is to make sure the beef tripe is tender. This makes the dish to be delightful and addictive. It can can also be cooked with or without vegetables. You can just make it by using sausages and chick peas. However, adding some vegetables is more healthy and makes it a perfect combination for the whole family.
