In the meat department, pay attention to the tongue. You can cook many delicious dishes with it. The main thing is to boil it correctly. And then the tongue can be stewed, fried, made into snacks and pates.

Rules for choosing tongue

Beef or pork tongue is sold on the market. By the way, the second is more affordable. When choosing, look at the color. It should be pink, but not gray. If the tongue is covered with a thick layer of ice, do not buy it. It has definitely been frozen and thawed many times. Such a product will no longer taste normal.

It is better to buy fresh tongue. If it is frozen, then put it in the refrigerator before cooking. It should defrost there, not at room temperature in the kitchen.

How to cook tongue

Put the product in a saucepan. Pour in enough water to completely cover the tongue. Add spices as desired. Add allspice and black peppercorns. It tastes better if you add carrots, onions, and parsley root to the water.

The tongue is cooked for 1.5 hours. Remove the skin from the finished product. And then you can cook it however you like. Even just fry it with onions or stew it in a creamy sauce with herbs. And it will be fantastically delicious.
