I am happy to share with you my 2 favorite recipes for tongue. Terri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roasted tongue: Boil tongue for several hours (until tender enough to peel) with some garlic powder, bay leaves and peppercorns in the water. If you own a pressure cooker, this step can be accomplished very quickly. Cool and peel tongue. Slice several onions into thick slices and place at the bottom of a roaster. Place sliced tongue on top of onions, add a tin of beef broth or consomme and season to taste. Cover roaster and cook at 300 degrees for about 2 hours (or more). Spanish tongue: Boil and skin tongue as in previous recipe, then dice meat. Sauce: 3 diced onions several stalks diced celery at least one diced green pepper several cloves of chopped garlic saute all veggies until onions are golden In a large saucepan place: the sauteed veggies diced tongue 2 or 3 cooked and mashed carrots 1 tin of peas - pureed in blender WITH the juice 1 tin of undrained mushrooms 2 tins of tomato paste (and about 1 tin of water) salt, pepper and chili powder to taste. Bring to a low boil, turn down heat and simmer for about 2 hours.
