Pork Tongues in the Oven

Description

I don't cook tongue very often; I mainly use it only for making jellied meat. For those who don't know, I'll say that it can be added to salads or used to make burgers. Pork tongue can even be given to children, since it's not fatty and is very healthy. For baking, you can use any spices you like best, for example, an Italian blend or salt and pepper.
