I'd like to try some new recipes as my dad's recipe is probably on of my favourite meals. Let's hear what ya got.
My old man's recipe:
Get a pickled tongue of a weight to suit your needs
Place in cold water with chopped onions, juniper berries, celery stalks, carrots and bay leaves.
Boil until soft when pierced with a fork
Remove, retain liquor and run cold water over tongue
Peel tongue and put aside
Mash up vegetables in liquor with a stick blender or through a sieve
Scoop some liquor into another pot and simmer and reduce. Add mustard, salt, pepper, raisins and something sweetly piquant like Mrs Ball's chutney (lightly curried pickle/jam hybrid made with peaches). This is where your palate comes in.
Slice tongue thinly and warm up in prepared sauce and serve with mashed potatoes.
