Serves everyone

A good way to get kids to eat tongue (if you must push the cholesterol…). Also good use for leftover tongue, if you are sick of cold tongue sandwiches.



Ingredients:

some Cooked pickled tongue, sliced thinly
1-2 cups  reserved cooking water from tongue (if you didn’t save any, use broth or water with soup powder)
1 large onion, chopped well (best in food processor)
1/3 cup vinegar
2 tbs brown sugar
2/3 cup yellow raisins


Preparation:

  1. Fry onion in shallow pot (or frying pan with tall sides) until translucent (isn’t that a great word?! Say it slowly and you can actually see through the onion bits! Whoops! They’re burning by now!). 
  2. Add the cooking water, vinegar, brown sugar & raisins. Stir well & taste. 
  3. Add vinegar or sugar or salt/soup powder as necessary to balance the taste. 
  4. Add sliced tongue and cook together 10 minutes.
  5. Serve hot. Or cold. Or room teperature... just serve it already, I'm hungry!
