Jamaican Tripe and Butter Beans
Jamaican Tripe and Butter Beans is a traditional Caribbean dish made with tripe (cow’s stomach lining) and butter beans cooked in a flavorful stew. The tripe is usually simmered until tender and then combined with a variety of seasonings such as onions, garlic, thyme, Scotch bonnet peppers, and spices like allspice and black pepper. The butter beans add a creamy texture and earthy flavor to the dish. It’s a hearty and comforting meal that is popular in Jamaican cuisine.
