Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake your tongue? Prepare all products. We, in fact, only need tongue and salt. Do not use a tongue that is too large — it will take a very long time to cook and may turn out tough. It is optimal if you have a tongue weighing about 1 kg. I use regular table salt, but you can also use flavored salt: Adyghe or Sevan.

Step 2

Step 2
Since the tongue is still an offal, it must be washed very well. It will be best if you use a special brush for washing food. You can also soak your tongue in cold water for 1-2 hours — this way you will wash off most of the blood and less foam will be released during cooking.

Step 3

Step 3
Fill your tongue with clean water and put it on fire.

Step 4

Step 4
Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, constantly skimming off the foam, for about an hour. If your tongue is more than 1 kg, the cooking time can be increased.

Step 5

Step 5
Take out your tongue.

Step 6

Step 6
While itʼs hot, remove the skin from your tongue.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the tongue in a heatproof dish. Cover the pan with foil and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 1 -1.5 hours. For a crispy crust, remove the foil 20 minutes before the end of cooking. If you donʼt want the crust, you donʼt have to remove the foil.

Step 8

Step 8
Salt the finished tongue. You can also pepper it or add some of your favorite seasonings.

Bon appetit!
