Method
- Put the veal head, ham bone, pig's trotter, and veal tripe into a large pot. Add leek, onions, carrot, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, whole peppercorns and chili. Pour in white wine and cover with water. Cook for about 5 hours.
- After 5 hours, remove the meats. Debone the pig's trotter and head, cut into cubes. Also cut the tripe into cubes.
- Prepare a soffritto: sauté celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in olive oil. Add a generous spoonful of jamón ibérico and cook together.
- Add white wine and let it evaporate. Stir in smoked paprika, sweet paprika, bay leaves, and tomato sauce. Cook until the sauce reduces.
- Add the cubed meats and tripe to the soffritto. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in some of the cooking broth from the meats.
- Simmer the tripe mixture for about 30 minutes.
- About 5 minutes before the tripe is done, add the diced chorizo.
- Meanwhile, prepare the parsley-mussel emulsion: sauté chopped shallot in butter. Add white wine and reduce. Add parsley leaves and mussels, cover, and cook until the mussels open.
- Blanch the remaining parsley in salted water with a pinch of bicarbonate, then shock in ice water.
- Strain the mussel cooking liquid, combine with the blanched parsley, and blend until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve.
- Add soy lecithin to the liquid and blend again to create foam.
- Cook the tubetti pasta in salted boiling water until al dente (about 10 minutes).
- In a separate pan, heat olive oil with garlic. Place the kokotxas skin-side up and cook gently for about 3 minutes per side, shaking the pan in circular motions to release collagen.
- Remove the oil from the kokotxas pan. Off the heat, add a splash of water and slowly drizzle in the reserved oil while whisking to create an emulsion (like mayonnaise).
- Add the cooked, drained pasta to the tripe sauce and toss to combine. Sprinkle with chives.
- To serve: place a portion of the pasta-tripe mixture on a dish. Arrange the kokotxas on top. Drizzle with parsley emulsion foam and garnish with sea fennel, fennel flowers, and chive flowers.
