Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tongue

   Rinse the beef tongue under cold water and place it in a large pot.

2. 2

   Boil the Tongue

   Add water, bay leaves, peppercorns, garlic, onion, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the tongue is tender.

4. 4

   Cool and Peel

   Remove the tongue from the pot and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the outer skin.

5. 5

   Slice and Sauté

   Slice the tongue into thin pieces. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the slices until browned.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the lengua with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of lemon juice on top.
