DirectionsAdd the beans to a large bowl, cover with water and set aside to soak over night. The following day, wash the tripe then soak in salted water for 2 hours. At the end of this time drain the tripe and cut into 3cm pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda and the tripe. Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 2 hours, or until the tripe is tender. Meanwhile, drain the beans, transfer to a large pan and cover with at least a 5cm depth of water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2 hours, or until tender. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and use to cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Now stir in the sausage, pork and salt pork. Continue frying until the meats are browned then add a little water so that the meats continue cooking without burning. As soon as the beans are done add the tripe, tomatoes, carrots, turnip greens, piri-piri sauce ad bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Now stir in the meats and stir to blend.
