Tongue, Boiled Beef

Source of Recipe

Old cookbook


List of Ingredients

1 fresh beef tongue
2 medium onions, chopped
1 carrot, cut up
3/4 C diced celery
6 sprigs parsley
1 sm. red hot pepper
1/4 C salt
8 pepper corns
Boiling water to cover







Recipe

Wash fresh tongue and place in 6 quart pot, cover completely with water. Add rest of ingredients. Simmer about 3 hours. Add more water as it evaporates, keeping the tongue covered until done. It will be done when it can be easily pierced with a fork. If you want to use it right away, drain and remove the skin and roots, and set tongue aside to cool about 15 minutes. Slice and serve with horseradish sauce or, after peeling the skin, place tongue in a saucepan with one cup of water, 1/2 C vinegar and 4 T sugar. Cook until liquid has evaporated.
