Instructions
- Cut the offal into pieces, remove sinews and tough parts, then soak for 30 minutes in vinegared water.
- Drain and dry the pieces, then brown them over high heat in the lard in small batches until well coloured.
- In the same pot, fry the sliced onions and chopped garlic until soft.
- Add the tomato purée, paprika, chillies and spices, and fry for a minute.
- Return the offal, pour in the stock and vinegar, then cover and simmer gently for 1 h 30 to 2 h.
- Check the cooking: the offal should be tender without being dry. Adjust the salt and vinegar.
- Optionally thicken the sauce with the crushed toasted bread and serve piping hot with the slices of bread.
