Spicy beef tongue recipes?



2

I have 2 whole beef tongues in the freezer and I would like to make one this weekend. I am looking for a spicy recipe to try with a tongue. I know there are thousands on the internet but does anyone have a favorite beef tongue recipe that they have personally tried and loved? I’m looking for something with a little spice, maybe a recipe that calls for jalapenos or something with spice etc… please share! Thanks!

quickest one i could find, sounds good though, doesn’t have jalepenos, but i can’t see why it couldn’t be added if you want more heat:

Dersat el’sane, Algerian Spicy Beef Tongue
Ingredients
1 Beef tongue (boil in water for about 20 minutes, peel off the skin with a very sharp knife)
3 tomatoes concassee
2 red bell peppers chopped
1 Onion chopped
2 carrots cut into rounds
1 branch of celery chopped
2 bay leaves
Optional herbs include thyme, basil, flat leaf parsely or coriander leaf.
Vineger or lemon juice, cumin, paprika and turmeric.
salt and pepper
Olive oil
Directions
1. In a big pot saute the onions in olive oil for about 15 minutes over medium/low heat, add the carrots and celery season with salt cook for about 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes, peppers and the peeled tongue. Cover with water. Season with salt using a light hand. (The sauce will be reduced later so in this case you are not salting to taste until the reduction), bring to a boil and reduce heat to a very gentle simmer, add the bay leaves and cook for about 2 hours. Algerians tend to cook tongue to a very soft texture, if you like your tongue a little firmer, well then stop cooking it when it’s done to your liking.

2. Remove the tongue from the broth when it’s done. Pass the broth and the vegetables through a sieve or a food mill. Add about 1/2 tablespoon of spices, reduce the sauce by 2/3 at a gentle boil, taste for salt, adjust if necessary.

3. Slice the tongue as shown in the first plate and add it back to the broth, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and heat through. Adding vinegar about 5-10 minutes before a slow cooked soup or stew is done is a very common Maghrebi cooking trick. It brightens up the slow cook flavors.
