Boiled beef tongue

How to cook your tongue? Prepare the products. If necessary, defrost the language beforehand. Cut off excess fat from it. Then rinse it well under running cold water.

Transfer the tongue to a saucepan and pour cold water over it. Place the pan on the heat. Bring the water to an active boil. Then carefully drain the water from the pan. Water will absorb everything harmful and unnecessary that is in the language, and it is better not to use it in any way.

Fill your tongue with new but already boiling water. I boiled water in a kettle. You can take out your tongue for now and boil the water right in the same saucepan. It is important that the water is exactly hot, then the tongue will remain soft and tender.

Bring the water back to the boil and toss a peeled whole onion into the stock. You can also put a whole carrot and celery root.

Cook your tongue with a low simmer over a low heat for 2 to 4 hours. The cooking time depends on the size of the tongue and the age of the animal. I cooked my 800g for 3 hours. Check your language periodically for readiness.

Half an hour before the cooking is over, salt the tongue and add the ground pepper with the bay leaf to the pan. It is important to salt at the end of cooking, otherwise the language may remain tough. You can do this 2-2. 5 hours after the start of cooking.

When the cooking time is over, lower your tongue into cold water. I type her into a basin that stands in the sink. And I keep my tongue under running water for some time, so as not to burn in the future.

Let the tongue lie in cold water for 2-3 minutes. After such a procedure, the skin from the tongue will be cleaned without much difficulty. When you remove the skin from your tongue, wipe it with napkins and put it under the lid in the refrigerator to cool.

It is the chilled cooked tongue that is easier and easier to cut into thin slices. Enjoy your meal!
