Instructions

For the tongue: Rinse the tongue under cold water and make sure it is clean.

Ingredients you will need

Water

Put the tongue in a large stockpot with enough room so that it doesn’t touch the sides. Cover withwater. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and lower the heat to low to keep a good, solid simmer.

Equipment you will use

Pot

Let simmer for 3 hours; the tongue is done when a sharp knife pierces it easily and the membrane looks ready to slide off.

Equipment you will use

Knife

Remove the tongue from the pot and let cool on a plate for about 15 minutes. It should be cool enough to touch but not so cold that the membrane sticks. Peel off the membrane and clean the underside of the tongue of any tough bits. You may need a sharp knife.
