Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It's best to boil the beef tongue in advance and leave it in the refrigerator for several hours, placing it in a bag. This way, it will slice better and won't crumble. The combination of sweet dried fruits and tangy tomatoes gives the dish an exquisite, sour-sweet, incomparable flavor. Serve the dish with vegetables, boiled rice, or green string beans. The ready dish can now be served at the table.

Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, skimming off the foam, for 3–3.5 hours. The tongue should become tender and easily pierced with a knife.
