Braised beef tongue... oh boy you say... hmm what else we got here oh there is a fillet steak I'll go for that....ok now I am not trying to be Mr. educate of what parts of Mr. Cow you might want to tackle but this overlooked and underused part is really a tender and delicious part of the animal( after braising ) that has tons of flavor. Any time you have a muscle working hard like chicken thighs you are going to get distinctive flavor you wont get on the Paris Hilton of steaks the tenderloin or a chicken breast. We really need to be eating the entire animal. What we are doing now by only eating the breast, tenderloin, rib eye, salmon, tuna, cod is pretty much like killing an hippopotamus for its back leg tendon or killing bald eagles for thier beaks or more true to what the hell is going on KILLING SHARKS FOR SHARK FIN SOUP! Enough already get down to your butcher and give this one a spin.

4 none

Ingredients

1 one pound beef toungue sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 celery rib chopped fine
1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped fine
white wine enough to cover tongue
1 chopped tomato
juice of a lemon
2 tablespoons grated parmesean cheese
1 teaspoon sugar
olive oil
1 chili chopped
yellow pepper chopped
3 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Start by covering the sliced beef tongue in the white wine and set aside in the fridge for a couple hours or overnight.. To cook the tongue, in a pot bring the chicken stock to a hard simmer (right before boiling) and place the tongue slices in there and cook for about 45 min to an hour checking them until they are nice and tender but still have a little give, take out and set aside.

In a hot pan put the butter and some olive oil , begin to sweat the onions, garlic, lemon juice, peppers with some kosher salt until they are translucent and breaking down. Now add the chopped tomato and cook for another 5 min or so. now add some of the chicken stock about a cup sugar and the tongue. Begin to reduce the liquid down.

Once it is starting to get to the almost dry stage add a teaspoon of Parmesan cheese and once it has all come together and you have a nice thick rich sauce clinging to the tongue its time to serve and finish with a little drizzle of olive oil. This is just great with some fantastic red wine and a perfect starter.

Beef tongue, its the new rage! ...ya right but bloody delicious
