Vulvae Steriles (Sterile Sow's Womb) is a traditional Ancient Roman recipe for a classic dish of sow's womb (substituted here by tripe) served in a black pepper, beef stock and spiced wine sauce. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Ancient Roman version of: Vulvae Steriles (Sterile Sow's Womb).
Wash and clean the tripe and remove any fat. Place in a pan with the onions and milk then pour in enough water to cover the tripe by at least 3cm. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer then cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook slowly for 4 hours, or until the trip is very tender.
When the tripe is almost done, combine the black pepper, beef stock, spiced wine and liquamen in a pan. Drain the tripe and place, along with the onions, in this sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 60 minutes, or until the tripe is completely tender.
