Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs tripe, precooked and cut into 1 inch squares

    2 medium tomatoes

Preparation
    Place tripe and salt in large saucepan.
    Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 45 minutes or until tripe is very tender.
    Just before meat is ready, heat 1 cup salted water in a medium saucepan.
    Add collard greens, cover and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes or until tender.
    Drain and discard liquid.
    Add greens to tripe mixture.
    Chop onions, tomatoes, and peppers very fine and combine in a large nonstick skillet.
    Heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid from the tomatoes is evaporated, and flavors blend.
    Add to tripe mixture; stir to combine.
    Simmer for 1 hour uncovered.
    Drain and reserve liquid. Divide meat, vegetables and cornmeal into 4 equal portions. Measure liquid and pour 1/4 of the liquid over each portion.
