I'm picking up a tongue from the farmer's market Saturday and going to give this a try. Cheers Scott Jay, that sounds awesome.

Slice the tongue up into thin vertical slices - maybe about 1/8" slices. Fry them up in a pan with butter, salt and pepper - they taste great. I'm thinking about adding in some mushrooms next time to soak up some more of the flavor. Hey, I know I’m about a year late here, but you can eat tongue the Japanese/Korean way too - yakiniku.

Inspired by you and the recipe for stewed tongue from one of the best Japanese restaurants in the city, here's what I made tonight and it was great: 1. Skin and chop the raw tongue into stew-sized chunks. 2. Heat about 1/2 cup water and dissolve a few tablespoons of miso paste in it. Add two big handfuls of dried shiitake mushrooms (you can use fresh, I guess, but the dried ones have a lot more flavour). Let the mushrooms sit in the warm water for a few minutes to rehydrate, then stir in a can of tomato paste. 3. Toss everything into a crockpot and cook on low for 7-8 hours. (The restaurant cooks theirs in a miso-tomato broth for two days, so they claim.) This goes great with anything that has an earthy taste and a big fat red wine. Thanks for this awesome idea!

Last night's dinner, I made 3 eggs sunny side up and had them with the last half of the tongue and some more broccoli, all topped with horseradish. Man oh man do those flavors go well together.

My dad loved it, I ate it happily unitl I found out that tongue was really tongue. In my early 20's I had a tongue sandwhich in New York and loved it. I going to make some possibly this weekend. Thanks for your great blog. My mom used to make tongue when I was young.

All I could find was regular Kosher with a chemical cocktail added!! Not for this family that's for sure. Been looking for natural Kosher tongue.
