Facts About Lampredotto
Lampredotto is a cherished traditional dish from Florence, crafted from the cow's fourth stomach, known as the abomasum. The name "lampredotto" is derived from its resemblance to lamprey eels in both shape and color.
One of the most popular ways to enjoy lampredotto is in a sandwich known as "panino co i' lampredotto" a hallmark of Florentine street food. To prepare it, the meat is slow-cooked in a flavorful vegetable broth, seasoned with herbs, chopped into pieces, and then served in a bread roll. These sandwiches are often garnished with a spicy sauce or a green sauce called "salsa verde."
Lampredotto has garnered high praise from food enthusiasts, with The Daily Meal describing it as "a tripe-lover's dream."
