Description
Recipe is work in progress. I went very slow and low, but I think that going a little hotter might be better.
Ingredients
- Beef tongue

- Thyme

- Red wine
- Salt
- Worcestershire sauce

- Roux:

Directions
Preheat oven to 225ºF.
Soak beef tongue in hot water with salt for awhile to remove some of the smell and blood.
Put tongue and aromatics in stock in a Dutch oven and bring to boil.
Put Dutch oven covered in oven.
Make roux by combining butter and flour at a 1:1 weight ratio in a saucepan and mixing on low heat until roux is brownish. Do not burn.
4 hours or so into the stewing, pull the tongue out of the soup. Peel and slice. Sear the slices of tongue and put back into the soup. Add tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and put back in oven.
A few hours before you think it will be done, put the potatoes, mushroom and second batch of carrots in.
Finish once the tongue is fork soft.
If you want to go overnight, you can stick it in a slow cooker.
Remove from heat and fold in roux and mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Garnish with sour cream and parsley.
