However, this will not be difficult to do.
Instructions
Step 1
The tongue is not peeled before boiling. Rinse it in cold water, put it in a pot of boiling water. When the water boils again, turn the heat to low, salt the water and leave the tongue to cook for 2 - 2, 5 hours.
Step 2
To add flavor to a boiled tongue, you can put a whole peeled onion, carrot, celery root, or parsnip in a saucepan. You can also add dry herbs and allspice. The readiness of the tongue can be tested by piercing it with a fork. Veal tongue takes less time to cook.
Step 3
Prepare a bowl of cold water. When the tongue is cooked, remove it from the pan and put it in a bowl, hold it there for a minute and clean it. Whitish dense skin should be removed easily and effortlessly. In places where it has not separated from the meat, pry or cut it with a knife.
Step 4
After that, the tongue can be put back in the pot so that it is saturated with its aroma and the taste of vegetables and spices. Let it cool in a saucepan along with the broth.
