I've got a cow tongue in the pressure cooker. Let's

>>9205304

Did you skin it first?

Making tacos?

>>9205314
I'm going to briefly pressure cook it, then scrape the skin off before proceeding

I'm interested. How long are you pressure cooking it?

Do you think the cow tongue tastes human tongue when you eat it

A bit mangled, but I peeled it

>>9205393
10 minutes to start with, but more cooking is coming

And back into the pressure cooker with ~5 cups of water, an onion cut in half, a leek cut in half, one stalk of celery with its leaves, two cloves of crushed garlic, half a red bell pepper, 2 tsp of salt, and 4 whole grains of pepper. I'm going to cook at pressure for 50 minutes and see if it's soft enough.

whoa

Woah, we got a badass over here!

>>9205617
>two cloves of crushed garlic

COWARD.

Shouldn't you have seared it first?

>>9205759
Maybe, I might try that next time

>>9205759
That does sound like a better idea and use some wine or beer to deglaze and add to the pot. I still don't think OP's is ruined, just might have been improved.

I gave the tongue an extra ten minutes at pressure to soften it up more. Now I'll reduce the broth for about 12 minutes then strain it.

Are you making tacos? If not, what are you going to do with the tongue?

Added half a cup of reduced broth and set to simmer for 15 mins

Look I don't know what this board's obsession is with lower-quality meats but you should never be eating the tongue of an animal in a first world country

>>9206253
End yourself faggot piece of fucking human garbage

>>9206253
Pleb detected

>>9206253
It actually makes god tier tacos. Hence why I keep asking the OP if he's making tacos with it.

Adding the rest of the reduced broth (2 cups), two tablespoons of vinegar, one teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/3 cup of white wine, one tablespoon of grated papelon, and thirty prunes. Bringing to a boil, then covering and simmering for 40 minutes.

Start searing the outsides

>>9205759
>Shouldn't you have seared it first?
No, people also poach or braise tongue, first, to more remove the weirdly clinging outer tongue "skin" over the muscle. There'd be little need to sear the exposed muscle underneath, it's already cooked. It will brown at the end, same difference.
>>9206253
>Look I don't know what this board's obsession is with lower-quality meats but you should never be eating the tongue of an animal in a first world country
It was a pretty popular cut with the wealthy in Spain. When poached in wine and herbs, it was a lovely cold luncheon meat to slice, that has a uniquely fine texture that isn't all processed ground up meat. It was especially prized from lamb or veal. Qualitywise, there's no mistaking that tongue is a high quality cut, no matter how much it grosses you out. I think it was even served on the Titantic and the QE2. Look at all that freaking work OP did. I am not doing it myself, but I've been very delighted when it was served to me whether in Italy or South America or in a great latin restaurant in Miami (venezuelans also love it).

>>9206505
ohhhh, maybe OP is Venezuelan afterall.
<3 arepas

OP, I sneak in a little milk with the water when I make some. I keep the cast iron very low heat too. Takes a long time to get that moisture out of the patties to sear.

Arepas are seared, putting them directly onto the rack of a 400F oven for 20 mins, will flip them halfway through

>>9206563
Haha, you caught me

>>9206571
My second guess was Colombian, but there's more elegant old world Spain in Venezuelan cooking *compliments to you*

I can't wait to see your finished dish!

>>9206346

I love prunes in savory dishes but why use them here? Will they be eaten at the end?

>>9206580
Because they taste good, and yes.

>>9206578
Thanks, much appreciated

>>9206477

he's not wrong

feed the tongue to fucking dogs

Cow tongue sounded revolting to me, but you've made it look great. What does the taste compare to?

Looks good, would eat.

Thanks. It pretty much tastes like a very rich, fatty beef. The only caveat is the difficult peeling and the fact that you need to cook it for a long time to make it tender.

And as a bonus, we made some quesillo de coco while the arepas were baking

>>9206640
Very nice. You've convinced me to try tongue next time I do something latin themed.

>>9206598
Thinly sliced cold tongue on rye bread with a bit of mustard or horseradish is a god-tier sandwich, anon.

>>9206758
>quesillo de coco
receta plz!!!

>>9206747
Thanks for the final pics, OP. It looks amazing. Oh, and I bet the cold leftovers will be divine too, those simmered prunes, mm.

>>9206747
OP, I think bringing out the fine silver was definitely a nice touch, considering all the love and time that went into your delicious dinner afterall.

Stay classy!

It's popular with the French too.
My family is Cajun french, so I'm sure the true and blue frogs will prepare this differently, but we essentially do simmilar to OP in the we cook to get the skin off.
However, we differ when it comes to the next step, sorta. 1 tbs of sugar and oil in a magnalite or similarly thick bottomed stew pot when heated together turns dark brown, and when you drop the cow tongue seasoned with Tonys, stuffed with onion and garlic, it basically immediately caramalizes and browns the outside. Add diced onion, more garlic, and a bit of wine or broth to deglaze the bottom of the pan, cook down some more, deglaze the pan, cook down some more, on and on over 4 or 5 hours makes an uber tender tongue with thick brown gravy that you serve over rice.
Or, if you wanna be lazy, after you brown the tongue just throw it in a slow cooker with pepper, onion, and potatoes until its tender, but your gravy wont' turn out nearly so nice and thicc
