CALF’S TONGUE ( Langue de Veau )
Calf’s Tongue with Tomato
Langue de Veau aux Tomates
Cook a calf’s tongue in water, with salt, pepper, bay leaves, and
onions from one and a half to two hours. When done, leave
in the juice until cold; then remove the skin and trim tongue on
the under part so that it can stand. Then put it back in own
liquid, to steam with some Rhine wine. Carve on a bias in three
pieces (be careful not to let it fall apart). Put on a plate; glaze
with a nice tomato glaze, made from butter, flour, and tomato juice;
sprinkle with finely chopped parsley; decorate all around with
fine strip of cream sauce; then place on oblong slices of toast the
length of the tongue (if two or three tongues are served, arrange on
a bias). Arrange on a platter, with hollandaise sauce all around;
garnish with parsley. Serve as an entree for luncheon or supper.
Lamb’s tongue can be prepared and cooked in similar ways as the
calf’s tongue.
