Beef tongue in tomato sauce

Description

Serve tongue in tomato sauce with mashed potatoes. Preparation: Place the tongue in a pot, cover with cold water, and simmer over low heat for 2–4 hours. Salt towards the end of cooking. When the tongue is done, transfer it to a bowl of cold water and immediately peel off the skin. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until browned. Add sliced tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Pass the resulting sauce through a sieve. Place the tongue in a baking dish, pour tomato sauce over it, and bake in a preheated medium oven for about 40 minutes, basting the tongue with the sauce periodically.
