  • 1calves orbeef tongue

For the Brine:

  • 3夸脱water

  • 9盎司brown sugar

  • 27盎司coarsesea salt

  • 1teaspoonblackpeppercorns

  • 1teaspoonjuniper berries

  • 2cloves

For Simmering:

  • 1bouquet garni

  • 1carrot, chopped

  • 1onion, chopped

  • 1celerystalk, chopped

  • 1garlicbulb, halved

Directions

  1. Put all the ingredient from the brine into a large saucepan and stir well over low heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and leave to cool.

  2. Place the tongue in a plastic container and pour the brine over the tongue, using something heavy such as a ceramic bowl to weigh down the tongue in the liquid. Refrigerate for 4 to 5 days. On the fifth day, remove the tongue from the brine and soak in fresh water overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. Place the salted tongue in a pot along with the simmering ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3.5 to 5 hours, depending on the kind of tongue and the size. The tongue is ready when it is very soft. Peel away the rubbery lining.

  4. 年代erve the tongue, both hot and cold, with horseradish and mustard. Thinly sliced tongue may be used for a sandwich on rye with plenty of mustard and horseradish.
