A friend mentioned that he'd had tacos de lengua, and it made me want to cook tongue myself.
I used to see it in supermarkets from time to time, but I had a heck of a time finding it.
Even the Western Beef chain here in the NYC metro area doesn't carry it any more -- apparently it doesn't move at retail, despite something of a recent rebound in popularity in restaurants. You can still get tongue sandwiches in New York's old-school Jewish delis.
Anyway, I did find one (frozen) at an Italian butcher shop near me.
I put it in the slow cooker last night, and it is now in its final stage.
There's a not-so-pretty prep stage involved, but I think it'll be worth it.
The way I'll be serving it tonight is in Italian dip sandwiches, with peppers and onions, sautéed spinach, tomato, and sharp provolone, on focaccia.
Who here has cooked tongue? What way do you like to do it?
