Aspic tongue

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the aspic, peel the carrots and onions, cook the eggs.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the beef tongue and place it in a saucepan with cold water so that it is completely covered on top. As soon as it boils, remove the foam, reduce the fire to a minimum. Cook the tongue for 1.5-2 hours, until fully cooked, periodically cleaning the surface of the water from the foam that has appeared. 30 minutes before the end of cooking, add carrots, onions, bay leaf, pepper and salt to the pan.

3. Step 3:

   

   Soak the gelatin in cold boiled water for 40 minutes so that it swells and is ready for further use.

4. Step 4:

   

   After the time has elapsed, we take out the tongue and immediately lower it into a container with cold water to easily and simply release it from the outer skin. Then we cut it into thin pieces of the same thickness. We also cut eggs and carrots into circles. Filter the broth and add the dissolved gelatin to it, stirring.

6. Step 5:

   

   You can put the prepared sliced pieces in portioned salad bowls and pour filtered broth, not forgetting to decorate with parsley leaves, chopped eggs, carrots, olives, lemon slices, cucumbers (fresh or pickled) before that- to your taste.

7. Step 6:

   

   Serve with horseradish, mayonnaise or mustard.
