How to prepare delicious beef tongue
To prepare this delicious tongue, you will need:
Ingredients:
1 beef tongue
1 carrot
2 onions
Dill and parsley to taste
2 bay leaves
Peppercorns to taste
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon gelatin
Preparation:
Prepare the tongue :
Cut off the excess part of the beef tongue so that it is ready to cook.
Soak your tongue in water for 10-15 minutes to clean any impurities.
Cooking the tongue :
Place the tongue in a pot of boiling water and let it cook for 15 minutes. This will help soften it a little and make the next step easier.
Meanwhile, cut the carrot as shown in the video (into slices or sticks, depending on your preference).
Chop the onions into large pieces.
Add ingredients and cook :
After the initial 15 minutes, add the carrot, onions, dill, parsley, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt to taste to the pot.
Let everything cook together for another 30 minutes so that the flavors integrate well and the tongue cooks completely.
Cool and remove skin :
After 30 minutes of cooking, remove the tongue from the pot and place it in cold water. This will help the skin come off more easily.
Once cool, carefully peel the skin off the tongue. It should come off easily, revealing the soft, tender flesh.
Prepare the broth with gelatin :
Remove the vegetables from the broth left in the pot.
Take a little of this broth and mix it with a tablespoon of gelatin. Stir well until the gelatin dissolves completely.
This mixture will help give a nice texture to the final dish.
Serve :
Cut the tongue into thin slices and serve with the broth and gelatin.
You can decorate the dish with a little fresh dill and parsley to give it a touch of color and freshness.
Enjoy this excellent beef tongue hack! It’s a dish that, although it may require a little time and patience, is definitely worth it for its unique flavor and texture.
