Language (veal, beef or pork) refers to delicacies, usually dishes from languages are prepared for festive meals. One of the possible variants of recipes is pickled pork or beef tongue . In any case, the tongues should be boiled and cleaned before pickling.
How to pickle the tongue?
Languages are cleaned (preferably with a brush) and thoroughly washed. Veal and pork tongues are boiled in a small amount of water for about 1.5-2 hours, beef - for 2.5-3.5 hours. We use the usual set of spices for broth (bulb, bay leaf, peppercorn, cloves, a little salt). Welded tongues are placed in cold water for 15 minutes, then cleaned from the top layer of the skin. We cut the tongue across the slices of the desired thickness - now it can be marinated.
