Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pickled pork tongue? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can replace the pork tongue with beef tongue. If you canʼt find celery root, substitute parsley root, celery stalks, or a dried root mixture.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse your tongue thoroughly. Peel the carrots, celery root and onion. Boil water in a large saucepan. Place pork tongues, onion, carrots, celery root. Add salt.

Larger beef tongue takes longer to cook — 2-2.5 hours.
