BEEF TONGUE
1 x Ox tongue, with trimmings and visible fat cut-off (weight or average weight thereof)?
2 x Beef stock cubes
1 x onion, cut in half
2 tbsp black pepper (whole corns or cracked)
3 carrots, cut into chunks
2 bay leaves (fresh or dried)
1.5 L water (Should be enough to cover the ox tongue in the pot)
METHOD:
Step 1
Place the tongue in a large pot with onion, carrots, beef stock cubes, bay leaves and
black pepper.
Step 2
Cover with water and boil (simmer) on medium heat for 2-3 hours, or until the outer layer of skin
peels easily.
*Can I use my pressure cooker for this recipe? It’s black and oval so the tongue will look good against the black and the veggies etc.
Step 3
Once the tongue is ready, peel off the outer layer of skin, slice and serve hot or cold.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Home-made honey & mustard
