Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. four tablespoonfuls of salt
  2. Water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Wash the tongue and put it in a stewpan with boiling water enough to cover it generously.
  2. Add four tablespoonfuls of salt.
  3. When the water begins to boil, skim carefully and draw the stewpan back to a place where the water will bubble gently for five hours.
  4. Take the tongue from the boiling water and plunge it into cold water.
  5. Draw off the rough skin, beginning at the roots of the tongue.
  6. Place the tongue on a dish, cover it lightly with a coarse towel, and put it in a cold place.
