Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Tripe
Forms the outer wrap that holds the filling and browns in the butter.
Sausage meat
Supplies fat and savory flavour to the filling as it browns.
Onion
Adds sweetness and aroma as it softens and browns with the meat.
Tomatoes
Add acidity and moisture that combine with the pan juices into the sauce.
Flour
Dusted over the browning tripe, it helps the surface brown and thickens the sauce.

The step that matters

Brown the rolls quickly. Searing over fairly high heat in butter browns the tripe surface before the rolls release moisture and stew. Flour dusted on during browning helps build a golden crust and thickens the pan liquid.

Swap the clove
