What You’ll Need:

  • 1 veal tongue (approximately 2 pounds)
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
  • Salt to taste
  • Water

Preparation:

1. Place the veal tongue in a large pot and cover it with water. Let it soak for 2 hours to remove any excess blood.

2. After soaking, discard the water and rinse the veal tongue under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.

3. In the same pot, add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, and salt. Place the veal tongue on top of the vegetables.

Cooking the Veal Tongue:

1. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the veal tongue and bring it to a boil over high heat.

2. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for approximately 2-3 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the tongue is submerged and add more water if needed.

3. After 2-3 hours, carefully remove the veal tongue from the pot and let it cool slightly.

4. Once the tongue is cool enough to handle, peel off the tough outer skin using a sharp knife.

5. Slice the veal tongue into thin, bite-sized pieces.

Serving Suggestions:

1. Veal tongue can be enjoyed hot or cold. If you prefer it warm, serve immediately with your favorite sauce or gravy.

2. For a delicious cold dish, let the veal tongue cool completely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve it sliced with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, and freshly cracked black pepper.
