Fake Tripe in Tomato Sauce: Trippa Finta al Pomodoro

• 8 eggs
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoons fresh oregano
• 4 tablespoons butter, cut into 4 equal pieces
• 1 1/2 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
• 1/2 a chipotle pepper, pureed
• 1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Spanish onion, chopped in 1/4 inch dice
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried
• 1/2 medium carrot, finely shredded
• 2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, crushed by hand and juices reserved
• Salt

1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, season with salt and pepper and add the oregano.
2. In a nonstick pan, cook 1 tablespoon of the butter until it foams and subsides.
3. Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan and cook until it has solidified and is easily slid from the pan, about 2 minutes.
4. Repeat this procedure 3 times with the remaining butter and egg mixture, setting each omelet aside to cool.
5. When the omelets are cool, cut each into 1/4-inch thick strips.
6. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and the chilis and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
7. Add the egg strips and simmer for 10 minutes.
8. Top with the grated Pecorino and serve.
9. In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
10. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
11. Add the thyme and carrot, and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft.
12. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often.
13. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal.
14. Season with salt and serve.
15. This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
