Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

BRINE:
1 calf or beef tongue
3 qt water
9 oz brown sugar
27 oz course sea salt
1 tsp black peppercorns, whole
1 tsp juniper berries
2 cloves
SIMMERING:
1 bottle bouquet garni
1 carrot chopped
1 onion chopped
1 stalk(s) celery chopped
1 garlic bulb halved

Steps:

  • 1. Put all the ingredients from the brine into a large sauce pan and stir well over low heat until the salt and sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, turn off heat and let cool.
  • 2. Place the tongue in a plastic container and pour the brine over the tongue using something to weigh down the tongue in the liquid. Refrigerate 4 to 5 days. On the 5th day remove the tongue from the brine and soak in fresh water overnight in the refrigerator.
  • 3. Place the salted tongue in a pot along with the simmering ingredients, bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer 3 to 5 hours depending on the size of the tongue. The tongue is ready when very soft. Peel away the rubbery lining.
  • 4. Serve the tongue hot or cold with horseradish and mustard. For sandwiches slice thinly and use ray bread with plenty of horseradish and mustard.

Tips:

  • Choose a fresh beef tongue: The fresher the tongue, the better the pickled tongue will be. Look for a tongue that is pink and moist, with no signs of spoilage.
  • Trim the tongue: Before pickling the tongue, you will need to trim it. This involves removing the excess fat and connective tissue from the tongue. You can do this with a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
  • Boil the tongue: Once the tongue is trimmed, you will need to boil it. This will help to tenderize the tongue and remove any impurities. To boil the tongue, place it in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the tongue is tender.
  • Peel the tongue: Once the tongue is cooked, you will need to peel it. To do this, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the length of the tongue. Then, use your fingers to peel off the skin.
  • Prepare the pickling solution: The pickling solution is what will give the pickled tongue its flavor. There are many different recipes for pickling solutions, but most of them contain a combination of water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices. You can also add other ingredients to the pickling solution, such as garlic, onions, and peppers.
  • Pickle the tongue: Once the pickling solution is ready, you will need to pickle the tongue. To do this, place the tongue in a non-reactive container and pour the pickling solution over it. Make sure that the tongue is completely covered by the pickling solution. Cover the container and refrigerate the tongue for at least 1 week, or up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Pickled tongue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as an appetizer, a main course, or a sandwich filling.
