Beef Tongue Vinaigrette 1 beef tongue 2 carrots, coarsely chopped 2 ribs celery, coarsely chopped 1 medium onion, quartered 2 bay leaves 10 whole black peppercorns 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 Tbs Dijon-style mustard 1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped or pressed through a coarse sieve Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Combine the tongue, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a large pot and add enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove the tongue and discard the liquid and vegetables. Peel off and discard the skin. Slice the tongue into thin slices and arrange on a serving platter. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and mustard. Stir in the chopped egg, salt, and pepper and spoon the sauce over the tongue. Let the tongue marinate covered in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature. Serves 8 to 12 as an appetizer.
