By the way, removing the white outer covering isn’t as hard if you just use a really sharp knife and cut it off. You peel a bit of meat with it but you can get the job done in 5 mins.

I tried your recipe for lengua (but tweaked it a bit) and it came out very good! I skipped the olives coz the kids are not crazy about it. I added carrots and leeks to the stew and processed the sauce in the blender before adding mushrooms. The sauce came out thicker than in your picture and I got to get my kids to eat a bit more vegetables. Thanks MM!

I can’t help laughing with all this comments you guys posts here. In my childhood years, my mother usually prepares this dish whenever there’s occasion at home. It really is nice, but the one that my mother prepares, usually cooked with fried banana’s or potatoes. Now, how about pigs tongue.

I love cooking for my family and would like to try something special for them. My boss use to make lengua estofado cooked in red wine in a low fire for ages….. Somehow I am a bit shy ask his recipe and how to clean the tongue …..I search on several sites and its eeeeewwwwwwwwwwww……..I cant really do it……As an alternet to ox tongue I tried this brasilian beef usually used for morcon and added about 250g liver softened and creamed , cooked like how lengua estofado being prepared…. It turn out almost same taste …with scraping that whitish thing on the tongue….Imagine cows saliva and the smell of their breathe…ewe……

I just made a batch of lenggua two or three days ago. Bought a frozen beef tongue (541.00 php) when I was at the grocery. I used water with beef broth boil the tongue for a good 2.5 to 4 hrs to soften up the tongue. Then I removed the outer skin cover of the tongue. I then sauteed the whole tongue in butter with garlic and onion. Whe the tongue is browned I poured some of the broth just enough to almost cover the tongue. I then poured in a can of cream and also a can of cream of mushroom soup. The carrots and potatoes and green peas are added to garnish.
