What is a good way to make tongue of cow

PS to all who find tongue hard to make - I find it a breeze. When I make a regular tongue I usually simmer it in a tomato based sauce.

I love and have always loved tongue. Pickled, sliced like cold cuts...I boil the tongue until it is soft to the fork. Cover it with cold water and boil aprox 1-1 1/2 hours or soft when poked.

Let it cool completely and then peel the skin off of it. You can slice it at this point - but it will be fully cooked.
I don't know a way of cooking tongue that is not boiled and that includes pickled tongue.

Less work than you might think. First you have to chop off that boney piece at the back. Submerge in water and simmer on the stove top...it doesn't require much attention. Peel off the skin and cut into small dice. I like it finished Roman style, "agridolce", which is sweet and sour.
And yes, it does make for excellent tacos. Make a mole sauce and top with chopped fresh cabbage.

If you have a pressure cooker, use it. Otherwise, I would braise it in the oven. Tongue takes a looooong time to cook, has to be trimmed ahead of time peeled when finished and DOES take a lot of work, but is well worth it - really delicious.

I believe "authentic" Mexican tacos (tacos de lengua, specifically) can be made with tongue... Not sure of the exact prep, but Google turned up a decent amount of recipes from various sites.

A French technique is to poach/braise it, marinate it in a vinaigrette amd slice very thinly, serving with some of the vinaigrette, room temp. Man oh man, tongue is aLOT of work.

Do it like my mom
