HOW TO COOK CALLOS (RECIPE) -Callos is a traditional stew dish in the Philippines made of beef tripe. This dish originated in Spain but as what the history tells us, Philippines used to be a colony of Spain for 300 years and that made some of the cultures of Spain adopted by the Filipinos. Callos is just one of those cultures. The common ingredients used in making Callos are beef tripe, chickepeas, bell pepper and chorizo. This dish could smell bad but there is a way to remove bad smell, this requires boiling the meat in a lemon and water mixture several times or if you do not have lemons, you can substitute it with calamansi or the more traditional guava leaves. If you are not into eating beef tripe, then you replace it with just pork tenderloin. You can also replace chickpeas with mungbean sprout if you can't find it in your local supermarket. Here is the recipe:
